    Swapped out the traditional metal winch hook for a Factor 55 Prolink. Super easy process, took less than 5 minutes (once the snap ring tool I had to order arrived).


    Before:

    [​IMG]


    Step 1: Remove the cotter pin from the metal hook, extract the pin, and remove the hook from the winch line

    Step 2: Remove the snap ring from the Prolink and remove the metal pin

    [​IMG]


    Step 3: Slide the looped winch line into the Prolink, reinsert the pin, and reinstall the snap ring

    [​IMG]

    Voila, done

    GX update. I'm testing Yakima's new MOD drawer/storage system which is new to the market. It's a neat piece of kit, with built-in ways to add extra drawers or other things (like the Gear Tote that's on the top left in the later photos here). I've been long looking for a modular setup for the GX trunk so that I can rearrange as wanted/needed and this is serving that purpose well. It can also be swapped from vehicle to vehicle relatively easy, since the HomeBase portion is "mounted" in place with straps that pull tight to the trunk's tie-down points.

    Sounds like you might not need that Pelican setup anymore then :anonymous:

    Wasn't a "setup" so much as it was a Pelican cargo box strapped down in the trunk

    I thought you worked with a company to have brackets built to fit that box to the rear specifically? Did I make that up in my head? Haha

    Haha, you definitely conjured that one out of my fantasies, but that wasn't the case. Pelican did provide brackets to mount it in the bed of a Tacoma though, not exactly the same as a GX trunk lol

    It’s embarrassing how inaccurate some of my thoughts are. I did see Pelican started to offer OEM solutions for Toyota and Lexus but didn’t see anything specific to the GX. My ghetto plastic bin and dog crate are fine I suppose. The Yakima setup looks really nice though!

    Haha, it sure is nice. And I totally get the "if it works, it works" mentality, I had actually ditched the Pelican box in favor of an ATV cargo box I've had since probably 2009 for the back of the GX. Which, I do admit, worked pretty damn well.
