How and where do you store an ax and a saw in your Grenadier?

[emax]

Does anyone have a good idea how and where to store an ax and a saw in the Grenadier? Groove only once, but on long trips and in a permanent place.

Some have them attached to the tailgate, but how? And what are the alternatives? It would be good to be able to add more stuff, so maybe there is an extendable system for such things?

In a draw with the recovery gear.
I have seen them clamped around the rear cab, but about them coming loose and travelling around the vehicle interior in an accident or emergency brake.

My fiskar axe lives between the second roll sests and cargo barrier. May do something similar with the IG although it only has a half barrier so will also need to have drawers.

We could start a new thread linked to this discussing where to hide the bodies given the ability of the Grenadier off road.

If you have to ask....

I have a small axe below the driver seat, together with a foldable showel.

Military Land Rovers got the pioneer tool mounting just about perfect:

But an axe wasn't a usual item in the CES (Complete Equipment Schedule).

Don't know whether this was an official setup, but I wouldn't want all that and me separated by just a piece of glass:

This looks an interesting framework that could be mounted wherever space allows:

That bonnet set up - ffs!

 

[emax]

That's an impressive setup and looks really good.

But I am thinking about an interior solution.

Although I like the look above, I would prefer to keep it unobtrusive. Maybe the under seat idea is ok. I will then wrap the tools in some fabric.

My axe is btw a Fiskars X11, nothing big.

Australian Army setup, wouldn’t pass muster today but we were using these til a few years ago.

I've been going through my recent holiday snaps , and wondering where I'm going to fit my drums.

I’ve got a small axe in a box on the roof, and a shovel mounted to the side of my roof rack. Larger axe will also be side mounted. Machete under driver seat.

Good looking setup @AMan

Bump...

I know some big wigs here have ordered the IA shovel, but for us common folk, has anyone come up with something different?

Hey emax,

I use Quick Fist clamps for my shovel (see photo), and you can use these for other similar things - like an axe. They are made from good quality rubber, and they stay flexible (i.e. usable) in hot and cold weather. I'll provide a link to them on Amazon (below the photo).

Axe and saw straps sorted. Now what's the best way to secure a cuple of bags of lime?

Glove box is small but zip ties fit perfectly.
