Smittybilt axe and shovel mount

I finally got around to installing my axe and shovel mount. I searched around and didn't find much info on these. I couldn't find these any cheaper online so I bought it on Amazon. So far pretty happy with it. Now I need to get a harbor freight axe and I will be good to go. I was a little surprised I couldn't find these cheaper than 40 bucks. It does not come with mounting bolts so I had to make a quick trip to my local hardware store. I wanted to free up some room in my small tool box and make it easier to get to if i ever needed to use it. Hope this is useful to someone interested in doing the same. I also have a hi lift mount I wanted to mount to the tool box but I felt my tool box is just a little too flimsy. I will have to mount that on the inside of the bed. I will probably look at getting a nut with a plastic handle to replace the wingnuts eventually.

 

Awesome!! I got the same mount in my Amazon "cart". Where did you get your shovel? I don't have a toolbox so I'm going to mount it on the back wall of my bed behind the cab.

 

That's pretty handy.

Anyone have a lead on a rack for inside the cab where I can put my 4ft level? The level alway ends up on the bottom under all the other tool boxes, which makes it difficult to get it out without emptying half the cab. I have not searched around for one yet.

 

I got it from Home Depot. HDX brand. I think it was about 15 bucks. I had to use it for the first time in the pic below, I was glad I had it !

 

Doesn't look like much till you break the surface. Definitely a good time to break in the shovel!!!

 

I'd look for a "Handy Dandy Easyrider Rifle Rack" for the rear window.

 

It really didn't look that wet, I just tried to turn around and I started spinning the tires pretty quickly. I'm a pretty light throttled driver but I am learning to rock it back and forth and not dig a hole spinning the tires...some of those recovery boards might have done the trick also.
