Attaching stuff to bed rails (Shovel, Axe, etc.)

Are quick fists the best option or is there something better?

Let's see your setups!

No I don't want to put molle panels over the full Bedrug, probably just a shovel and axe. (Actually large hatchet)

 

Quick Fists and angle iron.

 

Oh that's pretty smart! Is the Angle just attched to the rail or did you attach the bottom too?

 

Attached to the rail and then resting on the wheel well. I did Plasti Dip on the bottom where it makes contact. I got the idea on Tacoma World.

 

Have you considered the hi-lift interchangeable tools kit?

 

I like it!! Thanks

Saves on rail space having them stacked vertically and below the rail.

If I had a shovel and hatchet directly on the rail it eats up all that real estate and could interfere with having my tie-downs where I want them.

I had not considered that, mostly 'cuz I didn't know it was a thing!

You talking about this? Pretty cool. (Not sure it's $216 cool for my limited needs, but cool nonetheless)

Wow, great write up and well done.

I've got some reading to do, I just skimmed it but will probably do some version of this, thank you!

I'll have to change the configuration some to keep everything below the bedline/tonneau.

 

Not my write up, but yes it’s very good. I found it right after I bought my Tundra. I’ve been really happy with the setup.
