It stores flat almost anywhere.
You hardly even know its there, but when you need it, it's there.


Definitely, it fits nicely in the floorboard, i've used it to build the motor in my trail rig (everything from setting the pistons) and i replace TONS of head gaskets with it, endless list of trail fixes... never failed me

YES!! They are quite handy





Youtube was being lame so i used photobucket.

You can see at the end just how slippery this mud is, rob is spinning all four 36" TSL's and not moving, theres not even anything in his way


And the ever so nasty mud hole

Oh and can you see that little bit of mud peeking out from the water? That is a giant dam of mud (maybe 2' tall and 3' long) thats what the stick was there for, a marker

nice vids man..

bob what gear were you using in that mud hole, 1st or 2nd?



@ all.. you should check your junk for loose fasteners before or after going on a run. loosing a front axle is never good.. i check my junk before every run, mainly the ubolts, steering, d-shafts and tires. every thing else can fall off for all i care

1st gear 4 low stock case gears I was trying to get into 2nd but my TO bearing or pressure plate is acting up (sticking)

I go though a torque procedure before and after a wheeling trip. U-bolts, steering , drive shaft, starter, motor mounts, tranny mounts, lug nuts, hub studs.

then I go into the fluids top off and check for quality

funny thing is I was telling al about how my front u-bolts where around 30 ft/lbs and after a torque down to a 100 my ride quality was night and day LOL then his POO falls off on the first run.

Good thing he had some spares

Thanks

I am surprised they are still there and have glass I have bashed em many times to the poitn where they point at me and layed my rig on its side with em on.

IMO they compliment my round headlights, I wired them up so I wouldnt have to break my rig tryign to get off the trail before night fall but since I mounted them I have never used them for that reason LOL

When I exo the front clip I plan to mount them inthe same location but on the exo tubing
