The jack actually fits pretty tight. The handle area wedges right under the box. If it is not raining tomorrow, I can get a picture. I run a bedside toolbox as a regular toolbox across the back of the cab. I need as much of the full length of the bed I can get. I also do not like my box above the bed. I plan on getting a soft cover in the future to conceal it being a work truck. I want it to just be a clean daily driver without people being tempted to steal my tools.
is that a worm clamp(radiator hose clamp) holding it on?and if so how fast are you with a screw driver?
because of the angle it is on, it doesn't slide down and out of the clamp, but it slides real easily out of the top of the clamp.
and if all else fails, I will just tear it off the plastic trim piece.
But that is only if it is my truck that is on fire, if I am helping a motorist, i will of course loosen the screw a bit first :P
I have my eye on a Supercab bench seat..it's interesting in that the back is about half the thickness of what my current Supercab bench seat is. If my eyes are calibrated properly, a seat like that would give me a bit more legroom since I could slide it back farther....assuming the slider goes back far enough to take advantage of the extra room.
Oh, and:
MY TRUCK LIVES AGAIN!!!
Runs a bit differently now. Exhaust doesn't sound as deep and throaty as it did before, probably because the current carb probably isn't set near as rich. It backfired a bit when I goosed it, but it seems to run quite good at idle. Dies if I put it in gear though. Which I think might have to do with the next thing I'm fixing tomorrow:
I gotta run the vac advance hose to the carb tomorrow, since it's been hooked to the vac tree on the intake manifold for who knows how long....ain't supposed to be that way. Then I gotta run the PCV valve to the vac tree, since the carb's a rascal and doesn't seem to have a PCV fitting on it.
And just like before, my Optima RedTop has sat for three months, still hooked up to the truck, hasn't got a decent charging since June....but it cranked the truck right up a number of times today with full power, just as though I'd driven it and parked it the day before. I don't know why some people say they have problems with Optima, but mine's never let me down, not once!
Also put the donut spare on the Cherokee today....front passenger side tire is dryrotted and has cracks and splits all over the sidewall, and one of the cracks was leaking air. Gonna get another tire mounted tomorrow, so hopefully all's well with that.
God had His hand on us Saturday for sure, we drove the Cherokee ~55 miles each way with that same tire to go to my uncle's house to get the water pump fixed. It made it, and it didn't leak or anything.
