    Solved my Foxwing awning support pole storage problem.

    I was getting tired of the poles laying crossways behind the seats, always in the way when the seats are folded down. Built a tube with 3 inch PVC. Now, they're always there, but not in the way inside.

    That's Jack, my "micro coyote." (He's a Pomeranian, with "wolf sable" coloring) He has to supervise what I'm doing. He'll bark at the shop door until I let him in.

    I used the rest of the pipe and made a longer one on the other side, and now my walking stick goes into that one. I've always expected the thing to punch a window out on a hard trail from its sliding around. (or poking someone's eye out) I've put it on the roof rack, but then it gets plastered filthy, and I have to clean it off before using it, so half the time it gets left behind on a hike. I need the thing for flipping rattlesnakes out of my way if nothing else. My stick is 5 feet long, and I've had it forever. There's badges/medallions from about every national park nailed onto it.

    One more thing I did was make a "wrench" for the caps with a piece of oak 1x3. I used the milling machine to make a 1 5/8" square hole in the middle of an 8 inch long piece, and rounded the corners on the belt sander. I can torque the caps tight real easy, so the average parking lot thief can't just walk up and unscrew it/them. The wooden piece goes into the mesh storage thing on the driver's side in the back. It's very light and not like packing a heavy pipe wrench.


    On edit:
    Oh yeah, last night I tossed the factory jack out. With an ARB X-Jack, why bother? Besides, would YOU want to use that silly unstable thing on a dirt trail which is where the chances are highest to get a flat? The things are a death trap on perfectly level pavement. The X-Jack is an airbag that lifts the Jeep 30 inches if needed, and mud or sand, it doesn't care.

    That left room in the back for winch stuff like the snatch block and the like. Now I don't have to dig it out after unloading camping gear first when/if I need to winch something. My J-hook hitch piece, a shackle, a folding shovel, trucker's triangle reflector, and a few flares are crammed into that space now.

    Over this last weekend, I remodeled the storage area. I figured it out too, ever since I bought the X-Jack, I've ended up with the under-the-floor space AND a storage box on top. I've HATED it for the last couple of years. So, I started rethinking it all. The X-Jack took up about 85% of the under-floor space, shoving the rest into the locker box.

    The X-Jack takes up a lot of space underneath, and both jacks (the factory one and a floor jack) have been thrown out. So... I rebuilt the storage by removing the old floor jack partition, then making a "well" for the X-Jack.

    The storage box is now GONE, no longer taking 40% of the space back there!! I did the math: after redoing the storage space with the new X-Jack well, there's 5,913 cubic inches of box space. Now, EVERYTHING is underneath, and I have my cargo floor back again! THe X-Jack only takes up 4" of space from the side.



    The lid had to be notched out for the new well.


    Added a P clamp to a trim screw in the grab handle. (Which was for the 3rd row seat, and will never get used again) That way, a bungy holds it in place.


    The X-jack removed.


    And, the spaces crammed. That's plural because the one by the door sill have ready items there, such as road flares, the winch control, trucker's triangle, a folding shovel, etc. The Turbo 360 is an LED "road flare" with a 'rotating' pattern. (Some fire depts. have them)
