We had just finished a large remodeling job and were wore out. Nothing is more relaxing then a day at the beach fishing and swimming. But I have a new to me Jeep TJ that I just had Spartan lockers put in front and rear. What a better test that 60 miles of beach? It just so happen that we...

The truck was used as intended. We drove the truck and camper to Padre Island National Seashore. Our TJ Jeep in tow. Canoe on top of the Jeep. Fishing poles, coolers and spare fuel on the rear rack of the camper. What Else?? Water 15 gallons of extra water. We drove the camper 5 miles down...

I took off work today to get the Jeep ready for Padre Island. First I finished a canoe rack to be able to carry the canoe as well as a place to store the Hilift jack and the JACK ANCHOR portable ground anchor. I connected an extention hitch to the back of the F450 flatbed. Now I can carry...

Got it back from the Jeep dealer. They installed Alloy rear axles in the Dana 35. Spartan Lockers front and rear. New brakes on the rear. The front lockers make alot more noise then the rear one does. I hope that is normal. We leave tomorrow for a 10 hour tow to Padre Island for some beach...

Get the Rubicon. I got the Sport and even putting lockers in it is just not a Rubicon.

I have a F 450 with 19.5 wheels. I am going to the beach on the 18th. What would be the lowest pressure that I could run with these tires on the sand. Not for long distance, just to a camp site. I have the Jeep for the other 60 miles.

I just ordered Spartan lockers for the front and rear of my TJ. Alloy Chromolly axle for the dreaded Dana 35. Maybe the rear end will not leave me walking now. I got prices fron $400 to do both to $1400.00 The $400 job can not be doen until the 29. I need the Jeep ready on the 18 to go to...

CAUTION THIS REPLY IS FROM A 51 YEAR OLD MAN WITH KIDS IN YOUR SHOES!!!! Start by looking at the transportation that you have for yourself and your girlfreind. Are they 100% dependable? You will have to have a way to school and work. She needs to be able to get to the doctors and shopping...

My wife is the same way. The other day we were working on a street called punkin. I loved it. She said something about Louisiana school systems.

Thanks for all the input. It will all be taken in consideration as the product is being developed. We have found that the jacks leverage is increase if we make the jack body stable and move only the mechanism with the load attached. Pictures will follow. This means that we attach the anchor...

What I would look at is how tall is the shower. Some wet baths are several inches shorter then the main room. I sold a Lance 835 to a man that could walk in the main rom but hit his head in the bath. He didnot find this out until the first time he used it for camping.

Pictures posted on my build thread.

A complete system is going to include the Anchor plate, Jack adapter leg, down support and brace, as well as an addition power bar. The power bar can be used on the back end of the anchor plate to assist in removing the anchor after extrication. Or it can be used instead of a jack. With this...

In the ground that we have used it, the mechanism is still out of the dirt. The large face of the anchor support is the key to this working. Being able to use the anchor plate and foot as a pick to predig your hole make all the differance in the word. If you jsu set it on top of the ground...

Here are some pictures of the JACK ANCHOR in the winchable position. All parts for all the configurations fit on the anchor base and can be stored with the Jack mounted in any position. The anchor plate can also be turned lateral in line with the jack mechanism.

I have just made and tested an anchor that is used on the jack to function as a ground anchor and still allow the jack to be used as a winch.. The anchor spade can also be used as a foot plate the the jack in jackup mode. For jacking in sand or mud. The system also comes with the attachments to...

I am going to take some pictures tomorrow. Hope to post them somehow??????

The ability to reset is one of the things that set my JACK ANCHOR apart from everything else I have seen. One thing that does make a differance is the tools are there to predig your hole before you start winching with the jack.

Those are all good ideas. The biggest difference I can see is that Their anchor is just the anchor. You do not use the jack as a winch. Theirs requires you to use a winch. With my setup you can still use the jack as a winch. I have a system that has several different uses. 1. The anchor...

Alright. Since my wife thinks I stay on this site more then anything else I do. I have to prove her wrong and let everyone else on the site know what I have really been up to????? I have designed a tool that allows you to use your high lift style jack as a winch and anchor at the same time...
