hi-lift/shovel mount - pics please

where and how does everyone have their hi-lifts and shovels mounted on their trucks if you don't have a roof rack, bed rack, swing out bumper etc. I'm looking to have them mounted securely in the bed both from rattling loose and being stolen out of the bed. Post pics if you've got them! Thanks

 

@Zac of all trades makes mounts that you might be interested in. Purchased a pair myself. Good stuff. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bed-rail-mounts-30-shipped-to-your-door.483857/

 

@Admiral_Akbar haha thanks man!

@white_knight here are a couple photos for you that customers have sent using my brackets

On my front bumper, keep the base inside or it will rattle.

 

Thanks! Looks awesome, best ones i've found thus far.

 

CBI goodness....even though I know the OP said if you don't have swing away bumper.

 

Almost done making my bed.

Bed Mounted my:
Off Road Flag mount
Fire Extinguisher,
Hi-Lift Jack,
Hi-Lift Jack Cover,
Hi-Lift Jack Handle Keeper,
Hi-Lift Jack Off Road Base for Sand.
Hi-Lift Jack Matching Master Key Locks
Cargo Nets - front cab and also next to gate for groceries
Bed led lights under rails

Also:
Back Cab Mounting Rail
Locking bed storage doors
Led bed lights

 

That cargo net is really well done

 

I made a plywood panel mount for the front of the bed and mounted hi lift, and shovel and my treads
I uses some brackets I had for the jack, quick fists for the shovel (which you can't see,sorry) and I welded 2aluminum brackets that are bolted to the plywood to hold the treds which are just bungee corded for now
Every thing is locked with a cable to a padlock and out of the weather under the tonneau cover
The plywood is attached to the front bed track so the only drilling is in the plywood

 

Getting organized. I like!

 

New Taco owner, long-time FJ owner and setting up my '16 Tacoma Limited for work in the bush. Need to hide tools, recovery gear, hi-lift, shovels.

Those mounting brackets look awesome! Will you ship to Canada?

 

The @Zac of all trades mounts are awesome. I did a double quickfist mount (shovel and fiskars axe - not pictured). I got the RCI hi-lift mounts and they are alright. Maybe its just the weight of a 60" hi-lift compared to the weight of a shovel and axe, but man, the RCI mounts are noisy clanking in the bed while wheeling.

 

I fabbed my own. I dont like the quick release rubber type. Ive seen them fail and its to easy for someone to come by and steal your shit. Lets face it if you need your jack, shovel or axe you really dont have to be in that big of a hurry unsecure them. All of mine can be removed with 1/2 socket or wrench.

 

Pelfreybilt. Going to mount the shovel and axe soon

 

Made using this thread...

T-nuts and quickfist clamps found on Amazon are your friend.

 

ignore the concrete....hi-lift mounted using the @RelentlessFab mounts and shovel is just quickfists, fender washers, t-nuts and bolts.

 

+1 for @Zac of all trades mounts, Instead of using the hardware from Zac I got some domed Allen head bolts from Ace hardware and t nuts from Amazon
