Screw Jack Mounted in the Fuel Can Holder

[RC20]

I stole the Screw Jack from the pickup. Nice simple tech. TyWrapped to the fuel holder as its not used or going to be much if any.

I can put the Hydraulic bottle Jack in the Pickup box but it only runs around town these days.

How about a piece of something for a bottom in the holder? Saddlebag insert? Waterproof bag?

Oooo if you made a bag or box that fit in there you could put other tools and such in it. What about a soft bag with more ridged sides and bottom (like plastic sewn inside).

Keeping it simple and no need to seal.

I had adequate room for the camping gear, this is just a bit big and clunky so thought it would do fine there.

Its open at the bottom so any moisture drains out (have to see about anything that turns into condensation)

I carry this Home Depot scissors jack. Held to the back of the luggage rack with 2 large hose clamps.

RC, might just be my eyes or the photo but how tall is that jack? Looks from here pretty tall to fit/use under a Ural frame?

[RC20]

I checked it (0f course!) grin - it fits under cT frame fine so would do a GU etc even better.

Actually its pretty cool with the yellow wheel that lets you move to close before the driver inserted (I am using a hex shank screwdriver and a crescent wrench for now, not sure I want to mess with the original driver form the truck) -

I pondered a scissors as well, but the darned things are so long and the rack is well taken up. I prefer to keep as much internal storage as I can free.

So its an idea and the fun of this is we each have a different take, what works, what might do different. So its not a "my way and have to" but here is an option and it may wind up something else as well.

Will it fit under the sidecar seat?
That's where I keep my screw jack.

What's the purpose of the hook-and-loop strip on the center divider of the seat tray?

There's a matching bit hook-and-loop on the seat cushion, and a rubber pin that fits in the hole ahead of it that hold the seat cushion in place.

That's what I figured (re: hook & loop). I've not had any problems relying on just the factory pin configuration to retain the seat cushion.

Thats the way it came, never gave it any thought until you asked. I suppose they figured it wasn't needed, and phased it out?

Not 100% but I don't think so. This is a screw jack off a 1 ton truck.

That said I would not anyway, its where I keep wrenches and high value or I don't want to loose tools (too much stuff there now)

I could put in the hack as well, I might do that for weight, but this is free space that nothing else goes in. Will see long term.

All I can say, having learned the hard way, keeping ones jack clean and dry can save headaches if one gets a flat in challenging conditions.

Well THAT didn't look like a lot of fun. At least at the time. NOW it makes for a good story!
