Updated pictures.

Ill probably do some type of locking mechanism later on, but Im really not worried about that.

Id like to test it for road noise vibrations and if it supports. Plus I don't think anyone around here knows what that is..

Just my opinion but if I did that I would just go buy a bicycle lock (the rubber cable kind) and wrap around the bumper and jack together. A black one wouldn't look to bad and would be a very cheap option as Wally world sales them for like $15. Like the mount idea btw. Looks great!

Keep in mind that if you need to use it when off-road, you want to make sure it is readily accessible when needed. Mounted on the front bumper is not my idea of easy accessability if you are in messy conditions.

Also why risk damaging the jack if you hit anything with the bumper. And I would make sure it is not too easy to get off, if it is, the more likely it will get stolen.

If anything I would mount it on the back on inside the vehicle in the back.
To each his own.

I believe it's a fine location. Not to hard to take off but not easy enough to steal.

If I were to hit something the Jack would be the least of my worrys. I guess you guys don't know it's a cheap off brand that cost 55$
