Just curious as we are spending money getting this, that and the other how often you use your stuff.
When was the last time you used your hilift jack? I used it about two months ago to straighten out a large cactus/tree in my backyard =)
When was the last time you used all your "offroad" lights? I like to turn these on every night when returning home down some of the narrow roads near my house.
When was the last time you utilized your snorkel in super deep water? Water scares me.
When was the last time you used your _Winch_? The last time I used my winch was about a month ago and that was to stretch out the cable.
I try to buy functional things for the FJ but Mod Madness is a very difficult infection to cure
When was the last time you used your life insurance policy...

Cool post idea!
When was the last time you used your hilift jack? Last time I went rock crawlin... there was a turn in the rocks that was way too tight (most vehicles that do this spot are buggies and they just go straight, which wasn't an option for me), so we had the brilliant idea of doing a a series of 3 point turns in the wrong direction and backing over part of it... it would have worked, but the rear tire skipped off a rock and I ended up with a huge boulder stuck in between the rear axle and the inside of the frame!! Good times...
When was the last time you used all your "offroad" lights? Well, I've only had them for a few days so I'm using them way too much since they're still somewhat of a novelty... but I did use them exploring a new area at night after SedonaFest, and then on my way back to the highway which was about 10 miles through the forest. It's really to have some light for once!
When was the last time you utilized your snorkel in super deep water? I have not this snorkel that you speak of...
When was the last time you used your gigantic flagpole that doubles the height of the FJ and brings happiness to all the children of the countryside? Just last weekend, that gets used every time I'm out of course!

I only have the lights and I use them almost daily. where I live the deer are thick. They can appear out of nowhere. I use the lights (KCs) to try and get an advance warning with a reflection from their eyes when they are near the side of the road.

Never yet -- they're insurance.

I've got 2 PIAA 520 fog lights and use them whenever it's foggy or the road is too dark to see otherwise.

Don't have one and never intend to go into "super deep water" where I'd need one.

ehh.. about 2 weeks ago to check something on the truck.. the last time I really used it was when the wife got the FJ stuck crossing a gully the wrong way, she got the front bumper stuck on one side, the rear bumper on the other, and all 4 wheels spinning in the air...
When was the last time you used all your "offroad" lights?
Last time it was dark while wheeling!

I don't have a snorkel on the FJ.. I had one on the Tacoma, but never found water that deep in So-Cal!

Pull Pal...? (from another thread..) I've never need to use mine in pratical use.
