    Best place to carry chainsaw in TJ?

    I am trying to figure out where is the best place to carry a chain saw. In the area I wheel it is common to have to clear fallen trees. I am thinking of trying to make a mount that goes on my tire carrier but am curious as to what ideas others have come up with.
