Abstract
A bracket for a vehicle jack may include a first support including a first pair of wheel wells and a second support coupled to the first support by one or more longitudinal members, the second support including a second pair of wheel wells. The bracket may include a cover rotatably coupled to the second support and moveable between a storage position and an open position. The bracket may include a locking mechanism to releasably secure the cover in the storage position, the locking mechanism including: a riser positioned laterally between the second pair of wheel wells, a cap rotatably coupled to the cover to releasably couple to the riser; and an aperture within the cover to receive at least one of the cap or the riser, such that the cap and riser when releasably coupled restrict rotation of the cover from the storage position to the open position.
