Mounting tools in bed

Looking to mount a shovel/axe and fire extinguisher on the drivers side in my bed. What’s the best way to go about this with minimal or no drilling into the bed?

Give this thread a shot. I've personally made the hi lift mount and it worked great.

 

I suppose it depends if you are looking for a temporary or permanent solution. I did this for an offroad trip:



It worked great.

I don't want to carry the tools around all the time since the Taco is also my commuter.

 

@CaliRaisedLed makes a whole rack system for the bed that uses the stock bedrails

 

Yeah I saw theirs but I’m a bit confused by the options, and was also hoping they would have an install video like their other products but they don’t..

 

Looks like quick fist clamps? Explain further, I like that set up

 

Yup, Made the brackets out of steel strap. Used t-nuts in the bed rails, easy mod.

Mounted fire extinguisher to the bed bracket support thing.

 

@CaliRaisedLed
Correct me in I'm wrong but their racks should just go right into the rails and tighten a bolt/nut to keep them in place.

 

Exactly!

 

That’s a nice little set up, like the fuel can stuffed behind wheel well

 

Thanks, just one gallon of gas but it’s compact and will get me at least 15 miles closer to civilization

 

Any chance you could show what it looks like without the gear attached? How did you mount the gas can?

Cool set-up wish I saw this prior to what I did.

 

OP here is what I did, although I like Captqc's setup better.

Last picture is the hardware I used.

 

Relentless fab mounts and Quick Fist Clamps are your best bet

 

I mounted the Rotopax mount on the cubby door.

 

Tacomaholic on youtube has a great video on this. Exactly what I was looking for! If I was mounting them on the side I would go with the passenger side just to offset the fuel tank and battery, just what I would do.

If you're tryna make your own look at my diy. If not there's plenty of options to buy mounts.
