G'day All
Almost finished the latest add on to the jack, I have made a rear wheel carrier that holds the shovel and axe.
!MPG:8!
I inculde a bucket below just incase the axe or shovel falls, better to be safe.
Anyway its looks like this on the jack
!MPG:9!
Thanks to my sponsors:

Hi Adam,
Looks bloody good,
well done. Maybe a business aside for you, sell the complete kit to others for a reasonable price.
Cheers

Crazie,
All you need now is a shovel handle extension to convert to a long handled shovel.
Much easier on the back.
Notice you have roof racks on your Jack. I have a couple of "shovel mounts" attached to my Rhino Racks which allow a long handled shovel to lie sideways along the roofline suspended underneath the racks.

Hi Sandman
The roof cage is currently getting built and has the holders for the long handle built on to it. The little shovel on the rear in for my girlfriend...hahaha

G'day Crazie,
You're a machine (that's a compliment byt the way). What's next? Did you ever watch speed racer when you were a kid? With the buttons in the steering wheel for jumping poles, automatic tyre spikes, etc. etc.
That's what the Jack is going to be before too long. Just hope you finish it all before all dirt roads are closed to traffic to save us all from potential harm. Oh and cars will be speed limited to be no faster than walking pace.
Cheers,
Smocky.
