That is a pretty darn good idea, most of those jacks are to short to do anything, with the tires on it boosts the height and work in the sand. Killer idea

Nice way to mount it Shawn.
(Might want to clean it up a bit and get a pair of sidecutters for the zipties)

Nice looking, TH. Simple and solid. Good idea on the padlock!

I have a hi-lift on my buggy. Just welded 2 1/2" bolts to the frame and it slides onto them. Put on a washer and nylock nut, no worries. The nut's are the same size as my wheel lugs, so I use the tire iron to remove it.
You can see it in this pic...
