So, I made another device for my rig.
(some have seen the bracket for the on board air compressor made of a cookie pan seen here)
my new project was axe & shovel mount for my rig. in doing research, store bought specific mounts ran from $55-100.00. I did it for about $9.50! And it works awesome. Huge money savings!
I used (from the wood/construction department of Home Depot) 2 - 12" brackets and 2 - 8" brackets, 2 3/8 wing nuts, 2 3/8x2.5"bolts, electrical tape.
As seen below, animated images of the actual brackets and them mounted.
I used a piece of pipe to lay the brackets over to pound them into the required shape. took about 1 hour to make them both. In the end, I wrapped them in electrical tape to make them fit in with the black of my rig.
BTW, this is mounted hanging under a gear basket that is made for Jeeps that I also altered to fit my FJ40 swing out Con-Ferr tire/gas can carrier. however, they could be mounted really anywhere.
