This is a continuation of the above modification.
I had two of the Yakima 23H Horizontal Mighty Mounts left over, plus two of the 5/16-18-4 hex bolts.
I put on the 23H mounts, ran the hex bolts up from underneath, and tightened them down.
I then measured the distance between the two bolts.
I then took that measurement and drilled two holes into a True Temper 36" Premium Michigan axe from Lowes.
The axe fits perfectly next to the shove, and is secured the same way to the roof rack slats using some leftover Yakima plastic wingnuts.
These mounts come in real handy.
My next project using these mounts may be to put a jerry can mount on the roof to carry a 10 liter jug of H20.
In the first picture you can see the new mounts with the hex bolts sticking up.
In the second picture are both the axe and the shovel mounted to the roof.
