I see something there, no bush cable, but there is a attachment for it.
Do you use the same thing on the rack?
It looks like a antenna mount.
Yep, it's just a ARB antenna mount on either side. On the rack I actually have special little tabs that have been made and fitted to my light protector bar.

I actually dug around my Photobucket enough and found some pictures of the pipe repair clamps installed.

Sweet, that is awesome, thank you.
I wonder if those pipe clamps would work for my sand ladders.
I've been using u-bolts to bolt my Hi-Lift to the floor of my rack, it works but not as "clean" looking.

No problem.

They should work for just about anything you can think of that can be mounted by the stud sticking out from the pipe clamp. Weight certainly isn't an issue either since they grip the rack so tightly that you can do pull ups from my Hi-Lift.

My Home Depot does not carry those pipe repair clamps.
I'll try Lowes next and then True Value.
Right now I'm pricing the ARB antenna mounts.

Weird, I figured Home Depot would have them too. Lowe's should have them, that is where I purchased mine.

It very well could just be a location thing, I'll try Lowes later this week.

No issue with the Quick Fist holders at highway speeds, right? I expect to have to drive a minimum of 4 hours + on the highway and would hate for an axe or shovel to go through another driver's windshield.

Thanks!

Haha, no, not at all. I've had the shovel mounted for a looooong time now. Highway driving, rough city roads, dips, off road, etc... Quick Fists grip amazingly well.

Glad I just spent all that money refurbishing my fender flares, now I have this to look forward to.
