I have been searching for a way to mount a Hi Lift Jack to the roof of my FJ. Here have been a few good idea and some expensive ones. However none of them seem to work with my wallet. So time to get creative at the local hardware store
Pipe Claims $13
Longer bolt, washings, and wing nut $2
The chrome polish even gives it a nice professional look.
The pipe clamp has a rubber interior that helps secure it to the roof rack.
The washers I got were too small to completly cover the jack stem. It worked but the washers bent to confrom to the jack stem. I think either larger and stronger washers, or one that can fits inside the jack stem but still covers the jack stem hole used for mounting.
Even without upgrading the washers, I am impressed by how secure it is to the roof. I will let everyone know it is working after my 400 mile business trip next week.
