What do you do with a Hi-Lift jack you received as a Christmas gift three years ago?
Well, it's about time you mount it.
But where?
The tire carrier, where the additional weight will finally cause the already overburdened Ford-designed swingaway to get left in the Ingles parkinglot, as you're driving out with your Venti hot mocha, double whip, extra hot with coconut milk?
The hood, where you'll need a set of drywall stilts and a lot more muscle than you know schwim has to heft that thing away without taking out the windshield?
No. It needed to go somewhere the shiny red paint would be protected, since it's more likely that Schwim would need a shelf to house his MENSA awards than it would be that he would need to use the jack.
Off comes the luan dressy bit:
Time to drill!
Drilled large enough to flush mount the nuts since I can't get back here to hold on to them
Melting stuff!
Everything going back together:
All done!
And with that, we've wrapped up another project in a tidy three years! Already on to another project (the mystery box), I'll share that as soon as I've got it going.
'Till next time!
