love to get some ideas on where to mount your axe and shovels. I am leaning towards the Quick Fists clamps in the inner rear tail .. but wanted to see if there was anything else better .. maybe a bar mount.

I am looking for a nice clean display look ... love to show off the tools.

I mount my shovel right here in my tool bag. There's a throwing tomahawk but I keep it by my front seat close to the billy club in the front driver side door.

can you link to the mounting hardware for your shovel please

thanks for the tip.....can you give a 'field use' report on how it rides, etc?
I've been reluctant to mount anything in that position.

This is exactly what my setup looks like. My wife bought it from Dominion Off Road and it has been excellent. It keeps the jack, ax and shovel out of the way until I need them. I mounted a Molle rack on the back door and keep my recovery gear there with a first aid kit and a machete.

Im glad you found what you were looking for. The first picture with the axe only is my on my Jeep,im thinking of adding a fire extinguisher- a big one

- i bought the molly folding table from Ebay ($110), then i ordered the axe($25) and fist clamps($10) from amazon.

- For the molly table you have to drill 4 holes with approximate 1/4" drill bit- screws are supplied. It rattled a bit from the 2 pins that hold the folding part because they were loose a bit inside. Simple fix was to wrap electrical tape around pins to make it thicker and sound free from friction. Its doind its job well. But now ive seen a new product from Springtail that requires no drilling and pins are fixed which does not require taking them out when folding the table part. I would highly recommend the set up from Springtail. It comes with molle bags and its about $200 all together. I ve seen a guy doing pretty good review on Youtube. If you want to see, i can send the link.

Regards,
Ed

Thanks for the photos and report on install. Always a difficult choice to make with so many variables to consider.

While I like the roof mounted position, of concern of stuff breaking loose under various stresses both on the trail and in traffic 'loss of forward motion' events'.

Still like the notion of tucking them away somehow.

All of the set ups look pretty, but has any one ever ran into a situation that couldn't be handled by a flip saw that fits in your glove compartment, vs. an ax? Flip saws cut faster, and with less effort.

I spent about .46 cents on some velcro straps. The net was just up there to give room for the other gear I had for my outing (its usually down) I couldn't justify spending more than 25 bucks to hold items in my jeep that I would only use every once and awhile. I have not used my ax and shovel for recovery either, just filling sandbags, wood chopping, and other field craft type stuff.
