Trying to get ready for an upcoming dezert race just wondering what jacks people are using and how they are mounting them to there cars. Post your pics thanks
Utv jack and jack mount

Get a small scissor jack from a small car ad weld a lug nut to the spin shaft then you can use a cordless impact to jack the car up and use the same socket to remove the wheel. Then make a mount on car that you can run the jack tight too to keep it in place. works well
I have heard of that before. It goes high enough to lift the tire off the ground.
I did what cassey said use the same size nut as your lug nuts, I also welded a nut to the bottem middle use a thread all with bent 3/8 rod welded to it (a big wing bolt), 2 blocks of wood 2/6 with hole drilled for the thread all. bolts together inside the spare. the top of the jack is modified for my cont arms. be sure to test you jack with a flat tire (make sure it works)
Looks like a really nice set up. Should mount nice with how I have my spare tire mounted. Also looks like they are using the same jack you guys are talking about.
hey dennison that quik shot would work great on your car we've installed a few of them and there small compact and work well!
Is this the same as the jack Baja designs was selling for a while? If so i didnt like the fact that you couldnt slow the jack and control the speed it went up/down. In other words...it seemed like it was on or off...no inbetween
This year we had a highlift style jack from an 80's GM car that is stamped steel and lighter than our scissor jack (that fell off last year). we burned a cupped piece of plate that cups the a arm or the raduis rod and welded on the front. 100% secure and badass, really helped us with out a arm ripped off. Also, it jacked up against the harness bar in the bed and only cage tall didn't move an inch all day.
I had the quick shot on my old car ... It has an aftermarket cage and I couldn't use te full Pro Armor mounting system. It fell out on the first lap of the last AVE Race and I'm pretty sure every car ran it over and it still works great !! If the rear of your cage is stock or follows similar lines it should work no problem with your car. Your close to my house so if you want to use mine for a mock up let me know . I have the whole set up still.
Looking at the picture I think your good. My down tube had a bend in it so it wouldn't mount. Yours appears to be straighter than mine.
