Where Should You Mount Your Overland Shovel? Start by Seeing What Others Have Done

One of the most common questions in vehicle-based adventure travel is: “Where should I mount my shovel?” It’s a smart question—because the right mount location depends on your rig, your gear setup, and how you use your vehicle in the real world.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but there is a great way to figure out what works: see how other overlanders have done it.

From roof racks and tire carriers to MOLLE panels and bed rails, there are tons of creative, secure, and accessible ways to mount your DMOS shovel—and plenty of inspiration out there. That’s why we put together a Builds Page: a visual collection of real customer setups showing where and how they mount their gear.
