Bogert jack, storage location??

[ohiohmmwv]

These things are like 80 lbs. Where were they stored in the hmmwv?

Any ideas where the Bogert jack was stowed?

I keep mine in the garage unless I am going more than about 30 miles, then I just throw it in the back

Did you already get one?
I looked at those and decided that a hi-lift was much more versatile.

 

[ohiohmmwv]

I did get one. Seems like a nice stable jack.

It is very stable -- a lot more so than Hi-Lift.

I've used Hi-Lift for years in my rock crawling days.
For me, I never break down (tire flats or other repairs) on flat, semi-level ground.
Because of that, the jack that goes under the truck has limited appeal.
On HMMWV the shackles that are on the front and rear fit Hi-Lift perfectly.
Added benefit of Hi-Lift ORK make it an easy choice for me.

I wonder if the bogert company ever made anything to bolt this down for storage. I checked out their video but I'd didn't see anything where they actually removed it from the truck.

I really don't know the dimensions on these...do they feasibly fit in the rear seat boxes? I'm thinking they're too big, but I could be wrong.

The Jacks are stowed in a very heavy duty bag with a zipper and strong straps for carrying.

strap it down on the 2-man roof rack...
or rig something up inside one of the fenders.

Yup, way too big. I just figured these trucks have either a mount or footman loop setup for everything that ever went into the hmmwv along with a nice labeled sticker or two but there doesn't seem to be anything specific for this jack(just the bag). Strange since you really don't want 80lbs worth of metal jack just sliding and bouncing around in the back of the truck.

These jacks came out for use on the ECV and REV Humvees and both of those have a strong partition behind the passenger compartment so no need to worry about the jack as long as it is in the rear compartment.

Mine is strapped down in the back. I don't think there was ever a designated location for it due to it's size.

Old thread alert.
M1151a1. Looked at TM9-2320-387-10 and did not see the Bogert jack referenced anywhere in the load out instructions. I'll likely strap it down in the rear cargo area. I do not as yet have the rear partition in place so will take some care to ensure that this heavy gear does not come loose in an event.

I carry mine in the backseat. I also carry a hi-lift. I like to have options when in the country.

Mine sits in the side toolbox of my helmet top.
