My quick fist clamps came in the mail so I finally got to mount my shovel and axe mount on of my $5 hi-lift mount.





Its all tucked up and out of my line of sight:


While I was working on the shovel and axe mounts, my CB versa mount came in the mail so I mounted that:


While i was sitting in the drivers seat, I used one of the small quick fist clamps to mount a little 150 lumen flashlight:


I hate the way rain drips into the Jeep when the door is open, so I added some black gasket silicone to the front portion of the rain guard above the front doors:


I got tired of my hood flopping all over the place so I did the anti hood flutter mod:


I made a tray to go under the e-brake so stuff wouldn't fall between the seat and the console:


Blacked out my badges:



Bed lined my chopped bumper (duplicolor bed armor $12 a can):

before:



after:

Id toss that ebrake tray and do this. No offense but itll look a ton nicer. Do this on each side of center console.. Nothing will fall down there anymore

I just used two u-bolts. Posted in the write up section last week.

@ hskr
Yeah it's not the prettiest thing, but it works really well. I like the foam idea and may do that eventually, but the tray is in place for now since I took the time to make it and as you can tell I'm out of spare $$ until next paycheck lol

Hey how do the quick fist clamps mount? Do you use double sided tape or something?

Thanks!

They mount with a 2" bolt right through the middle with a fender washer and a wing nut on the back. The clamps also have a little plastic plate you put on the inside between the screw an the clamp. I'm working on a write up do the whole install and will hopefully have it ready by Friday. If I can get away from the 2nd job ill write it up tonight.

I know, I took it as a good idea, not as bashing. Didn't mean to sound harsh if I did, totally didn't mean it that way. I really like the foam idea and plan to do it when I get tired of the tray
