Somewhere to put your nuts

Wallymander · Oct 16, 2008

And bolts, screws, other items.....
I bought this for a road trip in a rental truck that had no cupholders.
Nos i found a VERY good use for it while working under the hood. You can wedge it on either side of the engine bay, and put whatever you formerly sat on top of the radiator cross brace in there. Source, Wal MArt. Under $2.00

there you go folks. A Place to set your nuts while working on the Jeep.....

I use a magnetic tray that always lives on the underside of my hood...

My nuts won't fit in there...

Yeah, I'd feel the same way if I had a gravel driveway.

The gravel must really chaff on your nuts!

It's really not that bad, until you step on them.

I bought a magnetic parts tray at Sears after I dropped a bolt in the intake. Love that thing.

I have a pink [don't laugh] twin sized wool blanket, that gets thrown down on the ground then I drive over it, a dropped piece sticks out like crazy on that thing, then when it gets nasty it goes to the laundromat, I'm not putting it in my washing machine... or I'd have the same problem shorty has...

So long as the truck isn't pointed into a strong wind with the hood up

(damn near took it in the skull a couple months back when a strong wind started picking my XJ's hood off the prop rod:shiver

One of the hazards of being lazy on the TJ's, I tend to just throw the hood all the way up against the windshield. Never paid it any mind till one day I had my back to it and was reading the FSM, when BAM, down it came. I musta jumped about 4 feet. Now I have this godawful long bungie cord that gets attached to one of the rear D ring shackles and the hood.
