Any hardware store. Got mine at ACE. I think they run about $5-$7 a light. There's a link somewhere or other (how-to section?) that shows how to do it.

For the shovel and whatnot, some people have mounted them inside the tailgate.

I mounted my CB antenna on the tire mount using some sort of bracket from Radio Shack. Some others have mounted theirs on the spare tire mount *but* this DOES get in the way of the flipper glass.

For my anteanna, I did the adamisadam/tokyo_joe method by utilizing the stock AM/FM mount and the firestik splitter. I had to re-thread the spring stud to 5/16" (didn't want to drill out and tap the mount to 3/8"). Threw on a 3' firefly antenna, and it works like a charm!

I have a K30 magnet mount antenna on the roof but its too high and hits overhead branches. I'll have to find some other place to put it.
To hold a shovel I have a grease gun holder that I plan to put on my roof rack or somwhere else. I bought it at a NAPA auto parts store.

You can buy Maglite brackets too to mount your Maglite in a handy location.

I also thought it would be cool to have a shovel, pick, or etc mounted on the front Fender Flairs. Like you would see on old Military Jeeps and old school Land rovers. :D
