Bubba that looks great. I'm still into keeping her looking classy/rugged. I think it looks better inside. You have make/cost available?

Ill take a pic and post it in just a minute.
I have both neoprene cover, plastic handle holder, and zip ties and still the interal parts rattle.
That's why I moved mine way away from the cab to the tire carrier..
It was just to annoying in the winter inside my cab
Actually I don't even run with one on much because most my buddies have one If I "Ever" need one!!

I tried a home made by getting loop brackets at local hardware store... Worked ok, but i decided to get the brackets made by hi lift. Got mine from amazon. 49$

Looks to me like if the rear seat was removed the jack could be mounted on the front of the roll bar. If so, this should allow the space necessary for the soft top to come down. Am I seeing this correctly?

Why would it only attach to half of the tire carrier?
