Alternate uses for jack brackets

[yovik]

On my flatbed, I utilized the jack brackets to store a number of things since the jacks are always left at home.

Handy dandy ladder to access roof rack.






Bicycle maintenance stand.

Pretty simple home shop projects. Secured to the jack stands with bolts and wingnuts.

Rando -

Are you using the 1' or the 1.5" 8/20? I like what you have done!

1", 10 Series 80/20. I only have the sand mats and booster antenna on this rack though. If you were to put more there you would probably want 15 series at least. But, it is also not a good place to put heavy stuff being way behind the axle and up high.

What size aluminum stock is that, buck?

 

[buckland]

Important to know! It is quarter inch stock. No flex with the triangle at top.

I kinda copied buckland's solar shower hanger but couldn't find 1/4" aluminum bar stock at Home Depot so went with 1/8" zinc bar. I made it shorter than buck's because it's a bit flexy. Mind is on the opposite side due to the rod holder on the driver side.

The best thing was the place I found to store the hanger between the truck and camper utilizing our final unused bracket with a wingnut to hold it there tight.

Nice work... mods!
If the flex is to great with 24 lbs of water hanging
try buying a 1/4" here.... and bookmark this site.... absolute best for any and all hardware you will need on the camper.
They know their stuff... call sometime and ask a question... a real store!
