I've had mine in the FJ before although not on the trail and I rachet strapped it in the rear. Mine has a nice case that makes it pretty easy.

First thought I had when I saw the title of the thread was "Man, that's gonna really hurt..." 
Seriously, though, I can't think of any easier way to stash a chainsaw than putting it on the rear cargo mat and using a bungee net to hold it down. Chainsaws are such an irregular shape that you'll probably have a hard time finding some specific mounting clasp. You'll have to fashion your own custom solution, I'm sure...

:lol: If you knew my last girlfriend you'd take your chances with the saw any day! I agree that it is easy and secure to use ratchets in the rear, but it isn't an option for me when I have about 200 lbs. (or more) of chocolaty brown love riding back there. I was thinking of having my fabricator friend make me a divider to keep the dogs in the back and designing a chainsaw mount that would attach to the front side of the divider (facing the passenger compartment). I could always strap it to the roof rack, but I would rather keep it protected from the elements. I don't know how well my little wimpy saw would handle being caked in mud. These guys are why I can't keep it in the rear usually.

A puppy is way down the line for us. We have 3 dogs (6 being the oldest) a house cat, a barn cat, and 11 horses. I am on critter overload.
