Tricks for attaching gear, etc. to the outside of an ATC?

Im not saying any of this is a good idea but we use our camper excessively and heres the crap I’ve bolted on to it and the truck:

AluCab wood box for storage in front of cabover
MaxTrax on roof or sometimes in above box
Receiver on front bumper for winch (suboptimal and requires care) or cargo carrier or bike rack
Shovel and axe on jack bracket
Drop down table on jack bracket (godsend)
Fuel cans on jack brackets
Extra fuel cans on roof (only fill rarely and remove when there)
Trasheroo on vertical bike rack when mounted (else door but cant let it rain)
i liked the drop down table also...
 
On our first camper I used the jack brackets to mount the 2M antenna:

I have since revised it for camper #2, and again for camper #3

I've been toying with brackets to hang the shovel under the right side over-hang of the bed rail. I had been thinking exclusively about the shovel, but seeing the 80/20 employed I just realized that I should use it for the main horizontal between the jack brackets. I can model the adapter brackets between the jack brackets and the 80/20 and have SendCutSend cut them out. Glad that I looked in this thread!
