I have the same setup, looks just about exactly like mine. I bought the same pump off of ebay. Figured you would of gone the lowbuck route and scrounged a used cheap lift gate pump or something with your experience. Me I didn't know what would work so I just went the expensive ebay route. I've found I would of liked to have spaced my casters out further in front of ram, put a long piece of tube on there and it gets a little front heavy.

THE LAST PIC IS ACUALLY THROTTLES BENDER, MINE IS A BIT TALL(IN THE BACK GROUND ON THE FOURTH PIC)AND THE WHEELS ARE OUT FURTHER!!!!MINE IS VERY STABLE EVEN WITH THE ALMOST 20FT PIECE OF TUBE IN THE UPPER HALO OF THE GREEN YJ!!!!
