I want that sweater... and I don't even wear sweaters.

 

[RaggedViking]

That is a pretty excellent sweater.

Here's a sweet gear / clothing organizer from Tepui: http://tepuitents.com/products/tepui-expedition-series-gear-container
I use it for damn neither everything - bedding, clothing, camp furniture.
It helps me keep down on the bulk, keeps gear at the ready, and can be stored on the roof or in the rig.

And here's another thing - and you can laugh and poke fun all you want - but I swear by this little bugger: http://mountainsmith.com/the-fanny-pack.html
If I have to jump out of the truck, I have all of my needful things on me - and though it's small, it can store wrenches and sockets so I don't have to fumble around in my pockets and whatnot.

Here's a picture of me wearing it in a kilt.
Come at it - throw the jokes around. You haven't lived until you've got a kilt and fanny pack going in this day and age.

Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp XAVT - $379

I've always loved these Smittybuilt seat covers.

I've always loved these Smittybuilt seat covers.

Are you running those, or know someone that does? I have ALWAYS loved the look but think they might be VERY uncomfortable or look "baggy" or not "right" -- I'm just a little picky and love the idea but would like them to be functional and look/feel good...

Thanks!!

I recently put this on my drivers seat - a gift to myself! (the best kind!)
This is the Blue Ridge Overland Gear molle seat panel.
I really can't decide if it's really as functional as I need it to be but it works OK and from the drivers position I can't tell it's there at all. Good price, too, made in the US of 'Murica, etc.
I think I could put as much molle crap on this as I could the Smittybilt one.
The one drawback is if I need to roll my rear seat forward, I have to move my drivers seat forward to accommodate it if I have any bags on there, and I usually do now.

Gotta love made in America BROG! I forget the size but I have these on the back of my seats as well. I'm definitely pleased with them but with very knee friendly concave seat backs there's a decent sized gap in the middle with only top/bottom attachment points. That wouldn't be an issue with the smittybuilt ones but the issue there is the headrest and airbags.

This posted is going to end up as my wish list! Lol

Can't say that I know of anyone that runs them yet. Amazon gives it 4 starts which is decent, it's just a toss-up with "universal" items. At least you can send them back to Amazon for free if you didn't like them.
