One mean mud hole followed by the river crossing with ten foot reeds as a wall on one side...AWESOME Dcim\100gopro
I am using a Drake mount but the hose clamps are some billet aluminum ones I picked up at a local close out shop for a dollar a piece. Got all that they had and have been using them in my projects. They were a dollar for two from the store. I love how the quick release knob works and I can get this out fast from my seat position or from the outside of the Jeep. I can also move my seat all the way forward without hitting the unit!
The downside is it has a slight rattle so I am going to work on some delrin washers to help take up the slack.
With a week and a half of temps in the triple digits and when doing some slow rock crawling and four wheeling, the heat under my hood was getting unbelievable. Some plastic pieces was actually starting to melt and rubber hoses getting hard and brittle.
Motor wise she stays at 210 but I needed to get rid of the heat. So after doing some research, I grabbed my three inch hole saw and went to town. I cut three holes in the side of the hood and then using stainless steel fasteners, I mounted some rain gutter mesh used to keep leaves out after I painted it with some high temp black! That should keep animals, small children and curious fingers out of the holes.
Just driving around all day and then parking the jeep, I could see and feel the heat leave the holes. Yeah they work!

1976 Jeep CJ5. Purchased when it was a year old. After my feet went through floor boards, I decided to replace the body with fiberglass shell.
Mounted on the upper windshield mount. I made the wiring harness with a plug so I can take it apart to be able to change or work on it! I love it up here as it is out of the way but easy to use. I also wired it up so that it comes on only when the key switch is on!
New Update 1/11/2013 Getting ready to mod this to fit on my roll cage front bar now as i love during the summer to lower my front windshield.
Here is a closeup of one of the corners of my Olympic Mountaineer Rack, where I have drilled them for eyebolts. Other than having one set of arms drilled wrong for my model (which I just drilled myself), I am liking this a lot! I never get anything that ever bolts on without me having to modify it or adapt it. I am just glad I like doing stuff like that.
The weather was beautiful so naturally the top went down and the doors came off. This is what owning a Jeep is alla bout!
I carry two action lockers filled with equipment and wanted a secure way to hold them in place, and something more security oriented than bungee cords. So using some copper tubing I had left over from another project, some eyebolts, wing nuts and rubber grommets, I came up with this. It really is just the first incarnation as I have plans to improve it by using some tees and making a grid to help hold even more securely and to make the unit one piece so I can just use one pad lock. I also started on my floor jack mount that will lock into place between the lockers.
Here is a view of the overall system. it does keep the AP's in place in even the most extreme angles and in rough terrain. I am working on my floor jack mount which will fit in between the two boxes. I do use two locks on it though that will only keep honest people honest if someone really wants it!
Out playing on some of the trails by the Lake today. I like mud and deep water. Even got to smash thru some ice covered puddles. It was cold and a little breezy by the lake this morning!
One of our meeting spots when a bunch of us our heading out for a run...as always I was the first to show up!
Last test fitting and then it is off tfor me to file and sand and then paint flat black. I know not as hi tech as some of them out there but it works for me, it was cheap and I made it!
