Does anyone have any pics of a clever way to mount a either a high-lift, shovel or ax to an adventure rack? I don't really want to but those $70 things at AB or RN. (Pics would be helpful)

Thanks!
Neal

Ever thought about using stainless ubolts?

I made one up and sent the pics in but I can't seem to find them on dweb.

Basically bend some flat stock in a u shape around the two bars and then put some long half inch bolts though and use shock bushings to isolate the hilift

Yup. Works well. It is about as close to the side as you can get. Alyssa tagged a tree at 5mph or so and all it did was slide the mount back. If I took off the base it would not have caught. Also if I had a 48in it would fit across the back of the rack which would be ideal
