that looks an awful lot like a pioneer kit off of a military vehicle. nice
I believe Ironman has a Kit. Has anyone used one? Rolls up into a small package too.

I thought about picking up a used NATO shovel/pick, but then recalled while working on a project for the Army in Canada, they too decided not to use the pioneer tools as they were pretty much useless except for light duty work. I plan on using a dedicated shovel, and axe and sledge mounted with Quick Fist clamps.

I'm not understanding...does Slee sell an axe/shovel? I looked online and didn't find anything.

EDIT: I think I just figured it out...are you talking about Slee's mounts?

Nevermind Daniel. Any shovel/axe/pick will work for light duty stuff. Buy a couple from a hardware store in Honduras and strap them to your roof rack. They will work just fine for ya.

Best thing to do is wait till you find one of the above mentioned "douches" with as many shiny accesories as possible bolted to their FJ cruiser, grab a crescent wrench and help them understand the concept of "displaying your gear and how cool you are, isnt quite as important as still having it because you put it where someone couldnt walk away with it.
They will appreciate this immensly because you liberated their shiny tools from them in a parking garage where they didnt need them, as opposed to the middle of no where when they actually did need them, and youve helped them understand the only real tool was actually in the driver seat... Not that " douches in shiny fjcruisers" go to those places, but if they did they would probably get it.
Or you could do like the lumps in the tundra's do and buy as many fiskars gerber or stanley tools as you can find, the ones that look super tough in black and yellow, but actually best suited for framing or gardening instead of recovery or automotive repair. Make sure you display them with quick fist clamps as if it was a super cool high tech gun locker as well.

I got mine second hand. Have had em for about 8 years and they still work great. They all say made in USA on them. The axe could use a little time on the bench grinder now.
That rack looks like the pioneer kit on a M998
I pick mine up from my Uncle for free. It is a Max-Tool Max Ax Multi-Purpose Tools - Axe and Shovels - Trail Tools And Vehicle Recovery Equipment - Winches and Winch Accessories - by 4 Wheel Parts
Mine came OD Green but its the same thing
