Also a little dab of hot glue will work to hold the tools on, whats also nice it will pull right off if you want to make changes later.

Yea I was trying to figure this one out myself since they don't snap into the roof rack from Proline. So I made some bungee cords.

Think bungee chords are the way to go.

Control linkage for RC airplanes work good..


The metal ones you can cut down and drill a hole for wire to look like a clamp.




The plastic ones are perfect fir for the Jack.



Or, for the shovels and such you can use a rodend with some fuel tubing.

I never would have thought about using those for that purpose. Awesome looking too!

I used the little wire hold downs that came with the kit and mounted them behind the cab.


For the jack I just screwed it down the the bed with some spacers.
