Where do you guys keep your recovery tools? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Swagopopotamus · 07-17-2016, 10:43 PM

I just traded in my FJ Cruiser on this here FR-S and I haven't figured out how to mount my Hi-Lift Jack, Shovel, or Axe. Where do you keep yours?

As you can see the Hi-Lift barely fits with the seats folded down.

Also, who makes a good winch bumper and LED bar mount?

Welp, I'm ah feared you are just going to have to get more compact/downsize.

For a shovel, use a military type entrenching tool.

For a wench get a light "block & tackle" set up.

Instead of an ax use a hatchet.

OH, MY ! ......... maybe you should have gotten the "Rally Package".....

But I read on the internetz that this car has a subaru so it is already full "Rally".

NO..no..no.. you got an FR-S, which is/was Scion which was/is Toyota.

Now, if you had gotten a BRZ ...... then Subaru - full rally.

That's a bummer because the dealer said I could take it off some sweet jumps.

That's exactly what I need. Then I can put some gas can mounts on the other side.

And the four spare wheels with off-road rubber can go on the roof racks.
Best of luck fitting the transfer case.

All the wenches I know only work hourly, and don't appreciate being called "block and tackle".

I hear there is a mod out there that you can mount your highlift in replacement of your stock rear spoiler.
