vibe ACCESSORIES!!

Post by vibedrivermatt »

Hello! I got this nifty accessories pack for my vibe. Initially I just wanted to get set of jumper cables but ended up getting this instead. This is one of the less expensive ones. It costs about $30, seemed like a good thing to have. Here's whats in there! Blanket Jumper cablesFlash light Orange coneBatteries Air Compressor/various tips Tow Line- EDIT: BAD TOW LINE- I tired the tow line and since had to edit my description of the pack a little. The tow-line that comes with this pack is not very good. Gloves Simple First Aid Supplies- this part of the pack could use more stuff..Rain Poncho Zip ties There's velcro on the bottom of the pack so I put some velcro with adhesive backing down in my vibe to keep it stuck. There's also velcro where the first aid kit is attached. This is nice because you can rip it off and take it to whoever or where ever its needed. I also backed the pack up with a can of fix a flat and tire plug kit. These coupled with the air compressor should cover most flat tire that situations that may arise. There's even a reflective triangle sewn onto the back of the pack. Thats a very nice safety feature !! Anyways I was impressed with this thing because of how much useful stuff they managed to put in there and thought i should share. I think peeps should have at least get some jumper cables if they don't have any!!Have a good day!!

Great idea with the velcro! I have one too but haven't put it in my Vibe yet because I didn't want to hear it roll around. Ill be sure to do that later today!

Will the tow strap fit through the hooks on the Vibe?

Quote, originally posted by star_deceiver »Will the tow strap fit through the hooks on the Vibe?Good question. I didn't know so I just tested it out. It does sorta does but not perfectly. But, I'm really not a fan of this tow line. I think tow lines like this with big metal hooks can be dangerous if the line breaks and the hook goes flying. I'd rather have a hookless tow line. I actually went and bought one like that.
