Favorite tool: Risk Racing magnetic light - very simple and very effective

Strattec Security Corp. - Locks utilizing vehicle ignition key - very handy to limit the number of keys to manage / organize / etc.

ARK Corporation Battery charger/carrier:

Hermes MVR rear view mirror with integrated multi-source video display; ideal for multiple chassis cameras

 

[dhackney]

Baja Designs submersible LED light, good for bicycles, motorcycles, etc.

Extreme Outback submersible air compressor.

Favorite product name so far: Hose Candy, by Oomph! Labs

This color coded vacuum and liquid hose would actually be very handy to color-code various circuits.

And the winner is...

Best 4x4 / off-road product: Jack Mate 2.0

Black will reportedly soon be an available color.

More glamour shots.

And speaking of glamour, some people would consider the two subjects in this photo to be incongruous, even disconcertingly so.

Others...not so much.


More shots tomorrow.

Expedition One Tundra; I'll try to get back over to this and shoot some more close-ups.

I love the idea of a full size four door pick up truck as an expedition rig. Great size inside and a short bed for equipment but how practical is one really? That space comes with obstacles in width and length. Any thoughts? For me, a Ram 2500 with a Cummins would make a perfect base if it wasnt so long and wide.

Keep the pics coming. I love SEMA. Only wish I could be there too.

AEV Booth Shots needed

ExPo got a first look at these new items from AEV.

......

This is a great new product. Bumper mounted Hi-Lift and Pul-Pall

Rafiki is a great place. We stayed there on our trip to Panama

Bump for some more shots of this swingout! (How the high lift and Pull Pal are mounted?) Love to see some shots of it open if any of you ExPoer's are at the show...

Thanks

Hey! I resemble that remark

I'm looking for a good pair of MK's this year 36 x 34

I looked on AEV's website before I posted, but they don't have anything up yet, or I missed it somehow.

Thanks again.

Search on AEVs forum for Savegre,its the name of the wheel.There are several good indepth threads about it.

"not a Brute. It's an Unlimited with a Brute top."

LOL. My batting average is worse than Mark Teixeira!
Thanks for the corrections.
