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.

You can never have enough horsepower!

Thank you sir. I be waitin'. I hope what they are working on doesn't require another tool to remove the axe and shovel and isn't just a wing nut. An over center cam latch type hold down would be nice with perhaps push button quick release pins to hold the clamp in place.

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.

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.

I was told 30-45 days yet. No price was discussed.

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?

Hummer Solutions has a shovel/axe rack that fits on the Gobi rack. It has a simple design, easy on-and-off loading and cheap.

The kit also includes a cable lock that prevents the tools from being removed (or used to break into your H2!!!).

It is a new product and not website-a-tized yet, but you can get more information and pix from their customer support group via email: support@hummersolutions.com

Good luck.

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.

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?

Yakima makes pretty good brackets that seem to work well. I puchased mounting kits for a hilift and shovel yesterday and will replace them once GOBI has something for the stealth rack.

Sorry, I did not see this Topic. The GOBI Ax/Shovel attachment is avilable after Christmas their is a waiting list that needs to be filled first. The Retail cost is $189.00. Please call GOBI at 720/479-9372 or
e-mail Sales@gobiracks.com and we should be able to ship them out before the end of December.

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

Let me give you some background on these brackets. They are designed for the forestry service who had specific requirments such as A)quick release, B)tool free removal, C)anti theft or pad lockable, D)no parts come off to loose and E) completely manufactured from stainless steel. Also either the axe or shovel can be removed with out the other if needed Unfortunatly these types of requirments cost money. They will be available to ship inthe next couple of weeks. A Strong Gobi Rack requires the best ax/shovel attachment. We do have an additional product that will be release at the end of the month. We will post as soon as it is available. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

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.
