    home brew spare tire mount

    Ive seen something like this for $100. This is a work in progress and im into it for $20 and 15 minutes. Gonna cut some slots for the strap and go to a 2" strap. The nuts on the mount grip the tire very well and this thing isnt going to move.

    bbq?

    How many of you bring a bbq? Even a mini one. I currently do but feel it could be left home. Unless we have a fire ban on. Just curious if anyone else does too. Feel free to vote and/or comment.

    If you are looking for a way to navigate, heres another option that works well for canadians. The free viewranger app has added easy links to backroad mapbook basemaps. Not bad price either.

    fj cruiser rear door

    Some stuff always comes with me. Makes sense to keep it handy. Mollie racks are cool but dont fit my budget of "close to free". Hence the DIY. I used quick fists for the axe, saw, and the small upper mount that frequently carries a fishing rod or flashlight, but now holds my snow...

    fj rear light

    this is nowhere as involved as most of the sweet projects on here, but it serves a purpose, so i dig it. needed more light in the back of my fj. i have the bandi mount from allpro, so a bit of drilling and wiring and an led light and there it is. the shadow in the reverse cam makes it unusable...
