Thanks man! Yea, I looked at the $80+ mounts and just couldn't go that route as of right now, I may in time buy a aftermarket mount being it would be safer and look alot better, but I agree about the use of higher graded hardware, no doubt. I plan on working on this more and perfecting it. My Father-in-Law is a machinist and saw what I created and I guess it set a fire under him cause he is now wanting to use HD machined parts and build a Jack Mount and see where it will go from there. If anything becomes of it, i"ll be sure to post it. Thanks again!

Agreed, I considered that and speaking safety wise I think it would be a wise precaution.

That's good, I like to see what happens when someone uses their head unstead of just dishing out the doe for things. That really raises my courosity about the grade bolts on the commercial ones, are they really grade bolts and if so what grade? Must be aircraft grade for that little mount to be $80. Since it is mounted on the back of the roll cage I can't imagine what impact it would take to get it into the front of the Jeep. Sounds almost like an unsurvivable crash to start with, but who knows stranger things have happened in automobile crashes. I really like the Safety / Anti-theft tether idea, another creative thinking guy in action.

Without the Hex Nuts and Wing Nuts added in the price (which is only a few cents extra) total was about: $9.22. Add tax for states that apply.
