		<description><![CDATA[I preparation for our next dessert adventure I added a Pull Pal to our off road gear a few weeks ago. After I received the Pull Pal I was at a loss for a place to mount it on the FJ. I figured I would just strap it down and be good to go. The problem is I wanted a stowage that would be a little more permanent and not rattle. I got to thinking; I have an Africa Outback roof rack and each rail in the rack has grooves for nuts. This provides an unlimited number of bolt on hold downs that are available. I figured that I could use these, however, just bolting the Pull Pal down would create another rattle on the rack and would also wear the rack which is made of aluminum. I wanted to pad the Pull Pal. To do this I ordered two 2x3x12 block of Polyurethane. One of the great things about these block is you can use a router to modify them. I marked the blocks with an outline of the Pull Pal. I then went after them with the router to create a recess in the blocks that the Pull [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been struggling with how to store my tools in the most compact way for my off road adventures. At first I carried the molded plastic tool box as well as another box with the additional tools in it. This worked but the tools would tend to shake out of there nice little molded spot and every time I opened the tool box I would need to reorganize the tools. This led me to move onto my next solution. I had a used of small stuff sacks that I placed the sockets in based on there type and drive size. This worked but the bags have a tendency to get holes in them and the sockets then fall out when the bag is removed from the box. Enter what I hope is my final solution. I have strung all my sockets and box end wrenches on cords. They are sorted by drive size and type. The sockets will need to be completely removed from the cord to select the correct size which is really no different than the stuff sacks. What I like is I can now see the sockets which makes the selection easier. I use ammunition cans [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We spend most of our off road time running solo. Our solo expeditions take us a long ways from civilization and assisted recovery or rescue. With this in mind I have customized our recovery kit to help facilitate self recovery. The main tool in my recovery kit is common sense. If possible, I avoid situations where I might get stuck. I am VERY careful to take things with caution and finesse so as to treat the FJ with kid gloves. I try to avoid large impacts and if the FJ becomes hung up I will use our extraction tools so as to stress the FJ the least amount possible. I also practice using all the tools so I know how to put them into practice should the need arise. So what is in my kit: Winch &#8211; The winch is a core component of the recovery tools. I utilize a Superwinch EP9000 with synthetic winch line and a Safety Thimble on the end. However, the winch itself is only a core component that must be supplemented by other accessories to be fully functional. Winch Accessories: - Snatch Block. The snatch block provides for the ability to either redirect the winch line [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At one of the FJ Summit recovery training session Chris Nelson showed us the Jackmate. The Jackmate enhances the capability of the Hi-Lift jack. The Jack Mate slides over either end of the Hi-Lift Jack bar using quick release pins. When used as the base plate, the Jack mate has “gnarly teeth” which dig into logs and rocks giving greater stability and support. As the top clamp, the Jack Mate adds greater stability and strength to the bar. It also has a slot for a 3/8” chain and a 1” hole for clevis attachments. Using a Hi-Lift Jack, a chain and the Jack Mate, you can have a powerful bender / straightener. Get those bent tie rods closer to straight on the trail. Combine the Jackmate with the Hi-Lift winch kit and you have a powerful off-road recovery tool.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Hi-Lift jack is one of the essential tools for off-road recovery. However, to utilize the Hi-Lift you need to have jack points on the FJ. With sliders installed they become a very convenient point from which to lift the side of the FJ. The normal lift surface of the Hi-Lift does not mate very well with a round slider so I purchased a Hi-Lift Slider Adapter from WabFab Off-Road. As shown in the picture below, the slider adapter cradles the rock rail for a solid jack point. I added inner tube rubber to the inner surface of my adapter to both protect the slider paint and keep the adapter from moving once engaged.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am currently modifying and refinishing my All Pro bumper. The powder coat was junk and started pealing off on all the edges. After using the bumper for 1.5 years I have some changes that I wanted to make. The upper edge of the bumper wings contact the body work so I have cut the bumper to contour around the body work. Once I have the bumper repainted I will put rubber trim on this section: I am finally getting around to installing the light bar so I welded the backing plates into the bumper. I may also add a gusset to help prevent the light bar from bending back if I hit a deer. The hole is for the wiring to the lights. I have bent the shackle point on the bumper so I have modified to help prevent them from bending again. This point also makes contact when rock crawling so this will help that also: Added tabs for license plate. Added tabs to bolt lower bumper skid to. I needed to do this after cutting the ends off the skid so it would still fit: Added gussets to the bumper wings to strengthen after cutting the contour. [...]]]></description>
