Greetings everyone....
so I've been looking around for an inexpensive way to carry a shovel and hi-lift on my factory rack. I happened unto a site, Expedition Exchange and discovered these little gems called quick fist clamps. (check out the link)

well I received them today and so far have mounted the 1"-2.5" set for the shovel. I used stainless hardware drilled a few 1/4" holes on the side tubes of the rack and vola, I know have a shovel mount!

Pretty sweet set up for under $20 bucks! After install I mounted the shovel, grabbed hold of the shovel handle and shook the dickens out of it to see how strong it was. Well it rocked the FJ! From what I read about them they are made of transportation grade rubber, not bothered by heat or cold and are somewhat UV resist.
So if your looking for an inexpensive way to mount some stuff these little guys work very well!

Anyone else ever use these?
