Howdy folks. I am going to the landrover 'winter romp' event next weekend and a shovel is on the 'required equipment' list. So I did some searching and found this thread on how to mount it. Thank you to the OP for posting up a neat idea.
I ordered the same parts off of Amazon, and my original intent was to mount it up on my Avid light bar, right below where I have my hi-lift mounted. I went to Home Depot and got longer bolts, but they still weren't long enough to go around my beefy light bar. So I just ended up mounting it on the stock roof rack. Wanted to share photos in case anyone was wondering - You will notice I drilled out the 'cover' of the base to get a hex head bolt through it, as opposed to use the supplied allen bolt from the opposite side as it's intended. it's a weird design I thought, the center bolt and allen bolts both go in the same direction, which makes it very hard to mount the damn thing. Drilling out a whole from the top helped me drive the longer home-depot hex head bolts the opposite way.
Where I originally wanted to mount the shovel but gave up - below the top line on the light bar underneath the hi-lift:
In your photo I see that you have your ARB awning mounted to your factory rails...may I ask what you used to do that?
