What plastic they are all metal and I have rubber grometts on top between the jack and metal. The reason it looks twisted is because I have to take it off and grind a little off the side of the brackets because I cut mine 1 1/4 inches wide so it doesn't seat in the grove on the hood hinge. That's why I advised 1 inch wide. I have had it up there for 6 months or so and been rock crawling prob 19 times and it has not moved a cm.
Yes very good idea then lol

I have a couple of rectangle tubes bolted to my hi-lift. I've mounted quick fists on the tubes and I can carry my full size shovel (not shown) and axe. It takes a little longer to get to my hi-lift, but I don't use it very often.
Here's a crappy cell phone pic with the hard top on.

What metal did you use? Aluminum, steel? Thx
