Mounting a Hi-Lift Jack in a truck bed is a great way to ensure you can access your toolbox quickly and safely in an emergency. It also allows for secure storage, as the jack is securely mounted and not just sitting loose in the back of your truck. Here’s what you’ll need to do to mount your Hi-Lift Jack in your truck bed:
- Gather Materials: You’ll need some basic items such as drill bits, screws, bolts, and washers. You’ll also need some rubber or plastic padding that will act as a barrier between the Hi-Lift Jack and your truck bed.
- Measure & Mark: Before drilling any holes, it’s important to measure the area where you want to mount the jack and mark it with a pencil.
- Drill Holes: Once you have your measurements marked, use the drill bit to make holes for the bolts or screws that will secure the jack.
- Secure Jack: Place the rubber or plastic padding over each hole before inserting the bolts or screws.
Then use a wrench to securely fasten them into place.
- Test & Secure: After all of the bolts or screws are firmly secured, test them by lifting up on the jack. If it feels secure then you can add additional nuts or washers for added support.
Conclusion: Mounting a Hi-Lift Jack in a truck bed is an easy process that requires only basic supplies and tools. With these steps you can ensure that your Hi-Lift Jack is securely mounted so it doesn’t move around while driving or become damaged while stored. Plus, having it readily available makes it much easier to access when you need it!
