    Uncle has good taste.

    Those brackets won't rattle at the bottom?

    Phil gave them to me and said without the support they rattled like crazy so we'll see how they do now. i can always put a piece of rubber trim on the edge so its not as bad.

    If you tighten them to the bed rails like they should, they don't move.

    I want to say I put some electrical tape or something at the bottom though just because.

    Chris my shovel mounts are 6 inches from the top of the rail to the bottom of the mount. Since you are gonna put an axe on there too I measured and I can do 8 from the top of the rail to the wheel well. I'll make them and let you drill for the quick fists since I don't have another two sets and you can get them on there how you want them. I'll get them to you with the rail hardware though.

    Cool!

    Yes it's composite. I don't want it in the truck where it'll be a pain in the butt to get out.

    I thought about putting it behind the back seats but I think that's going to get reserved for other stuff.
