Here is my set-up- cost $16 for the 2 sets of Quick Fist clamps.

How do those Quick Fist Clamps mount? Do you have to screw them into your tailgate?


Edit: sorry saw someone asked earlier in post

Yes you screw them down. In the center of each mount there is a single screw hole.

Try going belly up a 6foot deep section of snow and digging it out with your hands lol
