CBI Shovel Mount

A shovel earns its place on every overland build, especially in places where soft sand, loose dirt, and trail debris can turn a smooth drive into a stuck situation in seconds. The CBI Shovel Mount gives drivers a dedicated, well-built spot to carry a full-size shovel on the rear swing arm of their truck. The mount keeps the shovel locked down on the highway and ready to grab during a recovery, so the tool stays useful instead of buried in the bed under other gear.

Why the CBI Shovel Mount Belongs on Your Swing Arm Build

A loose shovel inside the bed is a problem waiting to happen. It rattles around, bangs into other gear, and disappears under everything else exactly when you need it. The CBI Shovel Mount turns the rear swing arm of your build into a smart carrying point for your shovel, putting the tool in plain sight and within arm's reach. For Hawaii overland drivers dealing with beach sand, muddy backroads, or loose volcanic gravel, fast access to a shovel can save a whole afternoon during a stuck recovery.

Designed Specifically for CBI Rear Swing Arms

This mount is built around the CBI rear swing arm system, which means the fit and hold are dialed in for that specific platform. The bracket bolts cleanly onto the swing arm and uses its strong, rear-mounted structure to carry the shovel safely at any speed. Builders running a full CBI rear bumper and swing arm setup get a coherent look and a properly engineered fit, instead of a generic universal bracket that never quite feels right.

Important Fitment Note

This mount is only compatible with CBI rear swing arms. It does not fit CBI bed racks or any other bed-mounted rack system. If your build runs a bed rack instead of a swing arm setup, a different shovel mount will be the right choice. Confirming your rear setup before ordering helps make sure the mount lands on the right truck for the right install.

Secure Hold on Highway and Trail Speeds

The CBI Shovel Mount uses a strong bracket design that grips the shovel firmly along its handle and blade, so the tool stays locked in place during hard braking, off-camber climbs, and rough washboard sections. There is no swing, no shift, and no risk of the shovel working loose at the wrong moment. That kind of secure hold protects the shovel, the swing arm, and anyone working around the truck.

Frees Up Bed and Cabin Space

Overland builds run out of organized storage fast. Moving the shovel out of the bed and onto the swing arm keeps the bed floor open for fuel cans, water jugs, tents, coolers, and other essentials that have to live down there. The result is a cleaner, smarter cargo layout where every tool has its own spot and nothing has to come out just to reach what you need.

Powder Coated Build for Long-Term Use

The mount ships with a tough powder-coated finish that resists corrosion from salt air, rain, sun, and constant trail spray. Hawaii's coastal climate is hard on exposed bare metal, especially on parts that ride at the rear of the truck, where road grime collects. The powder coat keeps the bracket strong and good-looking for years of use.

Easy Bolt-on Install

The mount installs onto the CBI rear swing arm with basic hand tools and standard hardware. There is no drilling into the swing arm itself, no welding, and no custom fabrication. Most owners can complete the install in well under an hour, which leaves plenty of time to test the shovel fit and tighten everything down properly before the next trip.
