Jack board?


Leatherface

Recommended Posts

I like plywood. Won't split. I have kept 2or 3 12"x24" behind the seat(pu) and found that by being able to grab them as soon as I get out of the cab that I saved a truck from the surf because of fast action with the tide comeing in.

Boards are cheaper than trucks

I use "3/4 double up'd togther with liquid nails. Size is roughly 12 x 24. I can easily leave it in the back of the truck underneath a blanket.

 

I keep it in the truck came in handy once when I had a flat on the side of the road.

 

Just remember it's there, one time the bored was inside a folded blanket and I pulled the blanket out and the board hit me in the head.mad.gif

I bought a pressure treated 2X12X10' and cut 12" lengths. I put one on top of another with the grains crossed and screwed them together (in the 4 corners and one in the center) with deck screws. I use them to put my camper on during the winter and keep them in my truck when traveling.

I use a 18"x18" 3/4" board.

 

I do know that both SSP, and IBSP require specific sizes of jack boards. IBSP required minimum of 12"x12" plywood, however, what, IMO is more important, it does not specify the thickness. The reason mine is 18x18, is because I made a box for the rear of my truck, to hold the plugs, and the small side was 18x18, so it fits exactly the same size as the box, only need 3/4" extra space.

Same here, made a jackboard and two to go under the tires. Glued them together so there wasn't any chance of screws or nails getting to tires adding more problems. Milled the edges and corners round,drilled nice handholes in each end with a 2" Forstner bit and added a length of 1/2" poly line for a pull cord.
