I got what I thought would be a nifty way to secure and lock my little 2.5 gallon NATO can, but maybe not so much. Also a small coated cable and another pair of red locks.

A large screwdriver could easily defeat these locks but they just let me not be so paranoid if I leave the tonneau open during errands.

Forty years ago I'd carry two 5-gallon Jerry cans on mounts on the inside of the small rear swing doors on the FJ40. I always took the main doors and top off in the summer, and folded the windshield down.

One day I popped into Walmart and came out to find the straps cut and the cans gone. Maybe they were hard up and 10 gallons of gas let them get to work that week ...

It's a pretty nifty mount with rubber pads to protect the can's paint

A 3/16" cable that could be cut with my first-aid sheers, but ...

Dang, the mount doesn't fit into the space in front of the wheel well, but could fit this way I suppose, but I don't wanna have a crew cab size bed =p

Be gone mount! But I really should put something like a couple of plastic dowels underneath to let the BedRug dry out

The Velcro strap is long enough to hold the lock captive so that it doesn't rattle and scratch up the can's paint (hmm, maybe I should graphene it! I know the one formerly known as "damper scorpion" would endorse that plan!) =D

Even my beloved tire chains are secure =)

What payload? I don't think I have any left! And those are soft loops threaded through the tie downs to make it easier to ratchet strap brush or cantankerous dump loads. I'm gonna pick up a dozen foam insulation panels soon, they're so light, maybe I'll just ratchet across the top of the swing cases? Or not be lazy and pop the cases out ...

After getting a large one that was too big to put anywhere, I discovered smaller versions. They won't go on until warmer weather but I wanted to see what they might look like.

Corny and hokey, probably, but I likes it. =p

Apart from up my butt, any suggestions for better placement on Soupie?

That position seems to be the best location David. I was thinking one might be okay under the EcoBoost badge on the tailgate, if you have one, but the space is kind of narrow.

These badges made me think of the member doing a King Ranch version of his Ranger - heading to the search tool to find the thread. ?

Valeo wiper blades. Heard they're good so why not.

And of course, the magnet per rock auto standard.
Tell me about the rock auto magnets ?

Nice.

I thought about cheating and buying their 5 pack random assortments, but it's not as fun as slowly collecting them as you broke ordering parts.

Thanks! =)

That's one deleted item I have not replaced, the EcoBoost badge.

David, I like the ecoboost moniker and replaced mine on Pepper with this one from ebay...
That would make a good place for a longhorn underneath it on the tailgate. The other, I'd put on the dash over the Ranger on the right =p

One of the few snow brush/rake's still made in the US.

Seems like these foam head things are the rage and I tend to remotely de-ice, so the snow is the big thing - especially on the roof and the tonneau.

Plus we have a law that all snow must be removed (it's a shame that it needs to be a law, but a child died years ago from ice flying off a tractor-trailer). =(

They have several size handles, this one's 48 inch and fits in the cab.

https://snorake.com/products/sno-rake-105

Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZWHFKLP $34.95
(now $38.97 - saved a few bucks with a temp coupon)

My last snow brush seemed awesome until the telescoping handle buckled like a cheap tinfoil hat - so an old-school wood handle seems like a safer bet for me (and I'm not worried about scratching with it - I use Graphene - plus I've been known to use an aluminum snow shovel on cars ...). o_O

seems like it'll do the tonneau nicely

US made and even has a Canadian patent, so it must be good! =p
20231212_085419.jpg


nice fit under Cheech's bed (and his blanket, of course) =D
20231212_085533.jpg


the handle was hitting something hard when I first passed it through, so I went to see and found this! LOL, Kate used Soupie a month ago to get groceries and this fell between Cheech's bed and the passenger seat! who says Christmas isn't magical (hey Santa, up the magic quotient a bit, whiskey resist freezing better than wine, just being practical ya know) =D

That's a cool foam tool...plus a bonus from the snow rake fairy! =P. We had a guy at church who used an aluminum snow shovel to de-snow his dark blue Dakota truck and you should have seen his hood, in spring...sheesh...

No. no, no - I'd never lie about why it's there, I'm a sharing-and-caring kind of person - I'd offer them a glass and toast our boys in blue!

Besides, I often have a secret tool to charm anyone:

I got this!!!

GEN-Y products are the best out there.

Not a paid endorsement. They gave me ten bucks back on my order! I was super stoked about it. Not a lot, but they sent cash! Wow
