| Found it!! Some of the pics might look familiar I remember I actually got the Quick-Fists from the Oregon Company (cheapest I could find) and I got the brackets on Ebay. All the info you need it right here. http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/interior-exterior-visual-tech/83993-ax-shovel-mount.html | |

| Nice... thats great that theyre tapped already too.
Since those arent stainless, Id recommend spraying them with Rustoleum or something like that, especially if theyre going to be a permanent fixture on the FJ.
Thats about what I paid for mine also. | |

| They're aluminum actually, so no painting needed unless you want them to match the rack or the truck. You might want to make sure the screws are stainless though. | |

| Picked up a couple sets of Quick-fists yesterday and connected to the new aluminum brackets with 1/4-20 1" stainless hex head screws. Make sure you get the 1" (3/4" just a bit too short). Nice snug fit. I will probably grind the inside "corners" so that it slides over the roof rack rails easier and does not scratch. | |

| Hmm, 1" was too long for mine with the quickfists. 3/4" worked perfectly for me. Maybe you're using a larger size or different style of quickfist. | |
