yes i need to brace, but was sorting out jack location 1st....that is why i am at a stand still........but it seems consensus is in......brace drivers side the same as pass side and stick the jack at the pivot. still gives me room for detachables over by the ladder


cool i can continue.. option 2 it is (original plan)

I built one for a cj 7 years back, tire mount plate was remove able Jerry cans mounted to the swing away then slide tire + mount into the swing away to sandwich the Jerry cans, hi lift mounted horizontal above Jerry cans
