To save space I decided to mount my ladder and Hi Lift Jack on the outside of the van. For the ladder, I built the top bracket to rest in the existing ladder slot and strapped it in place. I then drilled holes and mounted the lower bracket to the side of the van. Afterwards I used silicone sealant on the holes and bracket. It is very sturdy and doesn't move or vibrate while driving, so I’m happy with how it turned out.
For my Hi-Lift Jack, I found a place under the van where it would fit perfectly against the frame. I bored out/ drilled 3 holes and fed bolts and washers through to hold the jack. I then used wing nuts to hold it in place. This saves a ton of space under the bed for storage and also moves some weight to the right side of the vehicle.
