Front bumper mount

Wanted a way to attach to front bumper to get unstuck if it ever happens. Saw these on sportsmans guide #F5M-627273 and 18.00 for the pair. They are rugged and very versatile. I liked the rings on them and put 2 7/16 bolts in each mount. 1 through the hole on bumper that passes into the frame and I drilled the other hole through bumper to center side of jeep. It is a solid attachment. The top shelf is pretty good sized and I looked at my jeep jack and it laid on it quite nicely. I ran a 2 1/2" 1/2" bolt through it with fender washer under and on top and I also cut a small spacer to take up the unthreaded part of the bolt. I used another fender washer and a jam nut to tighten it and the slots on mount allowed me to move them until 2 holes lined up on jack. It is secured with 2 wing nuts and jack can be locked for security also to bumper or frame. I offset it to passenger side so foot clears bumper and the little spacers keep the jack rail flat. I am also thinking you could use it to mount a tray or box if you wanted with all the mounting options.









No issue with turning or hitting tires and if wing nuts don't stay tight I can put little wire clips on them so they don't work off.
Solved 2 things with 1 application so I am pretty pleased

Very nice!  It is funny, I also saw those in the Sportsmans Guide magazine and thought they would work great on the front of my 3A!!
