1shotkllz Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 But how good do those stay up there when you open the rear door? Wouldn't that add more weight to it and make it harder to keep open?I actually ended up going back and getting bigger conduit hangers. they automatically come with a nut and bolt to keep it in. The shovels on the other hand are light, I haven't had a chance to replace the liftgate shocks since they were already wore out when I bout the pathy, but they hold up good. 80 something cents for a hanger and some screws and thats it.

SpecialWarr Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Park Tools Frame Alignment Tool....it's a huge piece of chromed tool steel, slight arc about 20" long with teeth cut into it welded on a handle about 26" long..... it looks like something a ninja may have left it in the truck after i dropped him off somewhere and it does not get used except under extreme duress. So not used....yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) no point in using the FAT unless you've got a ***, Frame Alignment Guage. and remember it only works on steel frames. in reality the DAG is really the only useful one.

k9sar Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Another thing you should always have with you.... a red flag and piece of rope. You never know when you will need to haul something longer than your pathy and have it stick out the back past the tire carrier. Yea, there's the roof but the rack claims a limit of 80lbs and those Mammoth Tusks are a bit heavier than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecialWarr Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I don't know what movie it is but I'm going to join him with a shoulder-able 105, a MIDI for back-up and maybe a 6 shooter in .458 Rigby..... and a swiss army knife.... 'cause ya never know when you're going to need a corkscrew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Yeah totally...I get pinned down in firefights all the time. If only I had gold bars to deflect the bullets and redirect them at the shooter....and then ride my shark with lasers and chop everyone's head off with my sabre, which I also always keep in my pathfinder.
