So now hat I’ve taken my Jeep off-roading, I feel I should probably have a bottle jack in the event of a flat. Has anyone heard of this item or are there similar ones around?

I've been meaning to make something like this for several years. $38 to buy one feels excessive.
This is what I’m thinking but wasn’t sure if there was even a market for this. It seems like something I could make but I dunno anything about welding.
I don't know much about welding either beyond getting stuff to stick together, but I could make a bottle jack axle cradle out of scrap in a few minutes.
I've seen your welding. First time you use it, the rig will fall and kill a bus full of snowflakes.
Made all the more spectacular when the bus is an hour north in Boulder!
Can one person actually carry that many bullets or do I need an ammunition bearer?That would be an interesting day.
If you really want to get fancy with your bottle jack, take a look at this site.

This is my version and no, I would never sell this kit commercially. It was made by my buddy and I for ourselves.
The base has since been updated to this.

I think I still don't get it. I mean I see how something like this would help situate the jack before you start lifting. But that's not hard and I don't see the benefit after that. Since it just slides onto the bottle jack's own saddle what's to keep it from sliding back off if the Jeep wants to shift around? I openly admit I'm ignorant, that's why I'm asking.
The tube on the saddle/cradle fits over the jack. Nothing can slide off.
