I drilled 7/16" holes in the front squares where the factory off-road lights are mounted. Then used a piece of threaded 3/8"rod with a nut/washer behind the plate. In front, a rubber block about 1.5" thick then the jack, then a washer and nut.

The main problem with this set-up is that the hood won't open only 20% without removing the jack.

Best would be to mount it to the roof rack, but it won't fit in my garage. I know...neither will the tire, but it comes off between off-road events, and sits in the garage. If I can remember/find the time, I will try and get a close-up pic.

I am tempted to try and mount the jack just above the front grill lights, which are mounted, (using Harley/motorcycle chrome brackets) to the front brush guard. Don't know if the cycle brackets are strong enough to hold the jack.
