You are welcome.
I did not get to review any new gear for this summer even though I bought some.
The day before my trip I got up and could not walk.
Turns out my sciatic nerve on the right side was pinched from one of my discs.
Missed two months of work from it too.
I had my ARB bumper and a Warn XD9000 installed on my FJ by ARB at their warehouse/shop.
With two people it took them a good chunk of the day, so six hours seems fair.
On the 4th I repaired a fastener used to secure the canvas door on my Autohome Maggiolina Airlander tent, and also test out a Tepui shoe rack I bought after last summers vacation.
Happy with how my repair came out, but not so much with the shoe rack.
The flaps do not secure over the shoes very...
You are welcome.
Without measuring it, I would say the nice thick heavy duty bag it comes in is around 8" diameter, and around 30" long or so.
If I get time I will dig it out later and get the dimms and a pic in the bag of it.
You are welcome, I think you will enjoy the chair if you buy one.
Yes, you have to think of the FJs interior as a puzzle board, and get every piece to fit nice.
It is the most expensive camp chair I have ever owned, but the quality is that this will be a keeper, and not a throwaway like so many in the past I have owned.
It is also the most comfortable chair I have owned, and it fast to set up.
And while we are talking about rigs packed for trips, I...
Blhlerflex Perfect Bungee Test 4/21/2018
In the past I have used cargo straps and ratchet straps for securing my camping gear in the rig.
This year I bought some 36" Bihlerflex "The Perfect Bungees" via Amazon.
However they were out of the two packs for the cheap price listed below, and I paid...
PakMule Added 3-21-2018
The FJ Cruiser is known for not having a ton of room inside, and last year I was able to fit only one bundle of firewood to take on vacation.
Fortunately Mount Rainier National Parks campgrounds has a vendor there that drives around before it gets time to build a fire...
I thought I had seen this done before with a hitch mounted hoist.

I am sure I saw on another site last year where this had been done also.
Anyways, it is a very cool idea for sure.
Relocated Fire Extinguisher & First Aid Kit 3-17-2018
With my Outer Limits Supply First Aid kit on the rear door it protrudes too far into the cargo area when you shut the door.
In order to relocate it I had to move my fire extinguisher to a better location, and I choose next to the fridge on...
You can see here how I had shade, but it was more towards the rear of the vehicle.
I was parked there for several days, and all we had to do was pick up the chairs and move them, but there way always coverage under some part of the awning.
My Bat 270 has three poles, and you just stake them...
I have to disagree with one thing he said, and that is that a 270 degree awning is not great if you are going to leave your rig in one position the whole trip.
When I used my Eezi-Awn Bat 270 awning at Mount Rainier last August, I did not move the rig, and I had very good protection from the sun...
Relocated Backup Camera 3-10-2018
Almost two years ago I had my rear ARB bumper installed, and the shop moved the backup camera to the spare tires center cap.
Although it was a great spot to see everything centered behind me, the camera became useless once I installed my Maxtrax on the spare...
