Thanks to all the advice here, I have mounted a shovel onto the utility belt.

I used a pair of https://www.z1motorsports.com/misce...l-quickfist-riser-by-z1-off-road-p-44901.html

Attached to the utility belt using https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006954198737.html

I chose the M6 bolts, so I didn't have to drill out the risers.

The shovel I used was a https://www.roofracksgalore.com.au/spade-black-1065mm-handle-blue-grip

Next step is to apply some type of grip tape to the handle (where the QuickFists grab it) to prevent the shovel from rotating and touching the bodywork. 🙂

whats preventing any of these mounting solutions from letting the shovel blade make contact with the truck?

I'm a fan. A bit of rubber edge guard on the shovel blade should be enough to protect the paint even if it rotates in it's mount.

Assuming it doesn’t get scrubbed off by the branch or whatever is scraping along the side in the process. Hanging shit off the side isn’t my bag but, if I were to do it the blade end would slide into a firmly mounted pocket.
