Anybody want to mount shovels and axes to their rack, use these quick fist clamps. Yakima wants $50 ea. for their clamps. I picked up 4 of these for around $20. They will mount to anything, made of UV resistant rubber.

Bad night time pics with freezing fog. But Soft 8's are on. I'll get better pics tomorrow. Liking the look so far.

Went and found some snow today, or should I say white concrete. Man this stuff was hard and slick. But my 4 year old had fun wheeling in the ice.

Found that my sway bar link bushings were toast when I was under my Jeep yesterday. Don't know why I haven't noticed them before. Anyway, ordered the Daystar bushing kit today.

Nothing too exciting, just mounted my firestick. One day I will get the cb mounted maybe, but for now I have the antenna on.

I use those same clamps for a mag light holder and put it above my driver door. Under the plastic trim is two factory holes for an Oh s**t bar, I just drilled holes in the trim and bolted them into the factory holes.

Good idea, never new they had holes for handles. I'll have to check that out. I mounted my mag light in the back cargo area.

Thanks, that's what sold us on this house. Only problem as you can see is that our driveway is an incline, and I hate that. Otherwise we love it.
