Hey guys, thanks to Mark I now have a Hi-lift Jack and am in need of some mounts to put it up on the stock rack.  Was wondering what you all recommend?  The only ones I have heard of are Demello, FourTreks, and maybe Bozly????

Yeppers !!   That is them! 

 

Those worked out great for years and I never had a problem with them..  Plus they were a great deal for the price..

 

Thanks for posting the ebay link.. I forgot they were a ebay buy.. 

Nice find guys!  So, how is the spacing of the jack and the roof if you just have the tube clamp and a Stud to mount?  I noticed the FourTreks has an extension from the clamp for more clearence...  Id love to go the cheap rout and make my own!  No point in paying more than what I did for my jack.  I'm probably going to mount my jack on the back if that helps at all.
I used all stainless steel hardware on mine.  I had to use a bolt and cut off the head since i couldn't find a stainless steel stud in the right length and size for this.  the only standoff from the clamp is a stainless steel nut.  I also replaced the socket head cap screws that hold the clamp on with stainless.  I have seen a couple pix of guys with these clamps and the original screws and they are all rusted.  The lock is simply a 1/2 trailer received pin/lock.  I cut one end off and used a die and threaded it to fit into the clamp.  i then locked it in with red locktite.  You will need a die to clean out the threads on the bolts after you cut the heads off too.
Everyone gave some great options. All of which will work very well.
I went with the Hi Lift Jack Mounts by Hi Lift. They are not quite as refined as some of the other options but as I recall cost about 30 bucks. I got mine from ORW but sure other sources abound.
I'm pissed.... I bid on ebay for a set of FourTreks Hi-Lift mounts and axe/shovel mounts and got out bid at the very last second..... stupid ebay.  Would have gotten both for $100
You were probably beaten by a snipe. I do all my ebay thorugh http://www.esnipe.com/, I win almost every time.
Snipe.. Hmm, in the Navy those were the people inthe bowels of the Ship.. Now they are beating me at ebay..hehe I will now have to check this out.. Thanks for the link..

You chose well IMHO. The Hi Lift Jack Mounts are what I'm using and they work great, especially for the price.

 

Thanks for all the help guys!  Here is the final product, let me know what you think?

IMO, this is the bet solution for the price.
You need to paint them white...sh!t man let's pull the rack off and paint it white too.
Thanks for the example.  I am working on a few pair much like yours.  I address bolt length needs on the wing nut side.
