I use my Jeep to tow my plane to the Fuel Pump. I had a simple one that I lifted the tail to put it on, My back started not enjoying the process so I came up with this design. It plugs into the 12v outlet in the back of the Jeep , works off a Linear Actuator

Excellent idea.

You're welcome. There's many ways but I typically save each image and open them (one at a time) in Irfanview, which is a free download.
From the "Image" dropdown menu, choose "Rotate Left" or "Rotate Right." When upright, save the image.
If for some reason your thumbnail displays upright but opens sideways when clicked-on, the same method will work. In this case, when you open the image in Irfanview, it might open upright. Just rotate the image sideways and then rotate it upright again and save the image. That will usually solve the problem.
I do this on a Windows PC but I don't see why Mac would be much different.
As others have said, the welds look very nice. Also impressive is the design - not sure I've seen that way of lifting the wheel before. And the use of 12v from the trailer connector - very clever!
I was wondering if the Jeep burned any less gas than the Lycoming would by taxiing the same distance...Do you drive with a spotter in your jeep? ... this gives me the heebies just thinking about it!

On any Mac laptop you "Right Click" on the picture and scroll down to "Quick Actions" and then click on "Rotate Left" until you get it how you want it. Works on videos too. It saves it correctly automatically.

The hubcaps and tie-down ring on the tailwheel are pretty clever, too.
