Every one knows or should, that the appropriate cover for a hi-lift jack is a
greasy bit of burlap. Extra points for reading the seed company through the
grease. Even more extra points for seed companies that have been out of
business for more than ten years.
The bracket that's best is to grind flats on two opposing sides of a large
bolt, such that the bolt will fit through the holes in the rail. A few
washers, and nuts and you can arrange the bolts penetrating some flat surface
(bumper, or bed, or body). If you then set up added nuts and washers, you can
arrange things such that the jack is supported above the flat surface, and
bolted down by another set of nuts and washers to limit the rattle. If you
add a 1/4" hole to the end of one of the bolts, you can add a lock. I'd say
to add one small enough to break off when you're on the trail and forgot your
key. That makes it easier to find your key later on the dash tray.
Clear?
