The Lair

It's the fixer of a lot of problems.

 

I honestly use it almost every wheeling trip, whether it be staking out my tent or hammering on the truck for some reason.

 

Explains your bedsides.

 

"Oh, I didn't hit any trees this trip? Time to fix that."

 

At least this time they're scanning it daily so I know it's not lost. This is my tube notcher.

 

I saw one that attached to a drill press. Meant to post it. Guess I'm too late.

 

I don't remember if I posted it or not but I ended up getting this one. Not much out there in terms of reviews but people like their benders, so hopefully this is good enough quality too.

Hopefully the tool is better than the website that's straight out of 1992.

 

I purchased more hood pins this morning. I'm going with the same style as my last hood but buying the higher quality, made in 'murica ones.

I keep forgetting to get an extra 10mm hex for the truck tools. Just ordered one...Good reminder.

I keep way too many tools in the truck at all times

 

I’ve slowly been whittling them down to get to the current set up. I have a bunch of spare parts and fluids in a separate tote but actual tools, this should be solid. Really I just wanted them in a waterproof case so I can keep them in the bed. I don’t want them crushing my skull in an accident.

 

Much better.

And with a Bungie cord you can wear them as a fanny pack while you work

 

I have the smaller size rigid box from HD, it just allows me to throw too much crap in it. It is pretty organized though, which is nice. Wedge it between the front and back seats most of the time and just throw it in the back if need be.

keep tools and some spare nuts / bolts in it.

 

@EatSleepTacos what do you keep your spare CV and other parts in?

 

One of those yellow top totes from Home Depot. I forget the exact size.

Do you just wrap towels around the boots or something?

 

No, but I’m also not throwing knives into my spare parts bin either lol

honestly the thought has never even occurred to me to protect the boots in any way. They’re pretty thick so I’m not too worried about something in there tearing them.

 

Good Morning Y'all!

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S HONS!!!!

Stay tuned for a HUGE announcement later on today.


You're gonna love this Randall!

 

We’re pregnant!?
