Sherpa QuickFist Mounts

Does the trick

I ran my QuickFist mounts with the standard hardware (a single bolt through the middle) mounted on the interior wall of the driver side shelf of my ARE CX HD. The mounts sagged with merely a shovel mounted over the last 5 years. Added these and the QuickFist mounts have regained the factory shape and hold much more solidly. These mounts are T6061 aluminum and the mounting hardware is solid for what it needs to hold, which is a 5-6 pound shovel at most. The hardware supplied is used to mount the QuickFists to the bracket, and the bracket to an aluminum extrusion in the T-slots. I had some spare hardware around so I used that to mount the bracket to a vertical panel in the bed of my Tacoma. I did not use the t-slot nuts and tiny screws. Buying another set to mount my axe.

I’m giving these four stars because I think they’re cool and will do a good job for what I’ll use them for. The down side to these is that they’re not very robust and look like something that could be 3-D printed. I’m trying to figure out if they’re plastic or metal but they are very thin. I think it’s a step price tag for what you get. The other reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because of the hardware that comes with it. I can’t figure out for the life of me what the two smallest screws and drop nuts or for. These guys are very helpful and I’m sure if I have a problem with the hardware they’ll be happy to straighten me out.
