Pioneer Tool Strap Method
I apologize. I have done many searches before I did this thread. Some refer to pictures that have pioneer tools mounted. But the pictures are way too small. I have tried the TMs and have not been able to find exact instructions to mount the tools. I have two different size straps. One of the longer straps seems to be correct for the left side of the handles of the axe and mattock. The other ones just don't make sense. I know that my mattock head has the pick that is too long to fit under the lip of the bed. I will have to either find another one or most likely will grind the one I have down a little. The shovel uses one of the long straps most likely and I just need to see the "routing" of the strap.
Sorry to ask but I tried to find the info and did not.
Thanks in advance,

Another question somewhat related. How do you guys strap the Jerry can. If I go through the footmans loop on the bed it pulls the can into the bed.
Was the original style riveted to the footman loop. If so, how was the can kept off the bed?
Right now I'm using a one piece strap and just bypassed the footmans loop for now.

I tried it the way u have it, using a similar strap. It's just loose. It can move around and still hit the bed. This was my idea using a tailgate puck. It's just set in there now for the picture but thinking of making it permanent.

It gives it a nice standoff and makes it very stable.

What are the unused mounts?
I don't know what they're called, but I see 3 (in the pics) upside-down mount brackets. One that the shovel handle is resting on top of, one by the wheel well, and one on the back corner/bed post. Can you tell me what those are for?
Thank!
