I sent Gobi an e-mail asking if they make or will make axe and shovel mounts for their racks but got no reply. Does anyone on here know if they are thinking of offering any accessories like this for their racks? If they don't I may design and build my own. What I have seen so far for other racks seem to look stout enough but were designed for square tube racks and look like they are a pain to remove the tools.

Is there any reason we couldn't mount the Gobi mounts on the back of the rack? Mounting things on the sides of trail rigs to get caught on things has always seemed strange to me.

I have not developed a roof rack yet but am working on it in my spare time. If you don't have any luck with Gobi, which I am sure you will give me a shout and we can come up with something to suit your needs.

Sandra, does your mount system come with the axe and shovel? $200 for a couple of brackets seems a bit high to me.

What about a jerry-can holder, say next to rear spare carrier? Any ideas?

From the other thread about this: posted 11-12-03 05:26 AM
NVR Stuck, Thank you. Any better shots of how the axe is held at the top? I would guess something like the shovel at the bottom. What do you think of the threaded rod and knob being exposed like it is? Looks a little vulnerable to getting wacked. I was in a tight trail with trees and bushes a few weeks back and the rack did scrape a bit. Also, any prices mentioned?

 I feel like I'm in a Domino's Pizza commercial. We're all running to the front door to see the latest Gobi Goodies.

Sandra, thanks for the info. Are the pictures that NVR STUCK posted shots of your brackets? Do you have any other pictures available to see how they function?
Thanks.

In Montana we have to carry an ax, shovel and bucket when off road. I am going to make a rack that will mount on the rear of the outside rear tire carrier as I left the roof rack off the truck so I could get it in the garage.

My concern is with possibly having to remove both pieces of equipment to get one out. If you loosen it to get the shovel, will the axe fall out? If you want just the axe, will the spade fall down and hit/scratch the roof?
