Lil swivel jack stand project

Took these few right at the last. Shoulda got a few of the during but was lazy.

My son has this knock around, rugged little trailer we built to haul his quad into the hills and other crap detail. He likes it uses it for a bunch of ranch type stuff but with the tail gate down there were only inches to spare between the tail gate and jack stand. He brought it around the other day with some scrap iron on it so I thought I'd fix a quick swivel jack stand so he could go roughing it with the tail gate down. Not much but it beats the cheezy bolt on jobs. Paint job is primer and about as far as I'll go with that.

Here's a few more. I used a threaded bolt to hold it in the positions instead of a pin arrangement. Three quarter inch bolt for the swivel. Egg-centric knob on the retaining bolt so if or when when it's loose it wont unspin with road vibration.

Nice work. Now just add a little floor to the space behind the jack and bed of trailer to haul a few 4"x4" blocks to stick under the jack so you don't have to crank the handle so much.

The way the son and his woman drive it would have to be a full containment box.
