Congrats on wrapping up at CSU
@ Flemster
, and on getting out. Dying to get out to the desert myself for some banging around and biking. Nice new rig (def. beastly) and will look for you pulling your runner along I70! Soon enough...
Did you follow anything in particular for your storage drawer?

Some fun stuff going on a week before a trip as per usual.
Ripped the whole front end down to do some maintenance and add some fun parts.
The runner finally has a garage to live in.
So naturally,
Time to give these a revive.
Some
@ eimkeith
goodies from Opt Offroad
https://optoffroad.com/collections/eimkeith
These are LCA Reinforcement Kit
Install is straight forward if you can weld. The fitment on his parts is second to none.
I also put new Whiteline bushings in the lowers.
Next is new spherical bearings in my Kings and 333Fab Cam deletes so I don't have to worry about my alignment shifting anymore. Should be all good to go up front soon.

The LCA braces look awesome.

Also need to add a projector, screen, and a few game systems for maximum effect.

Kegerator with a good beer helps everything. You'll even save money on beer too!

Ah yes, a good friend used to have a house with a 6-car garage, lift, triple kegerator, pool and spa. We even got work done sometimes! (where my 4WD swap was performed)

Found some time to work on some recent upgrades.
I finally installed a switch panel, it's no Switch Pro or SPOD but it'll do for what I need.
It's an Amazon cheapo something or other. Linked here Amazon.com: 8 Gang Switch Panel, YCHOW-TECH Circuit Control On-Off Led Car Switch Panel Relay System Box Waterproof Fuse Relay Box Wiring Harness Label Stickers for Car Truck Marine Boat ATV Utv: Automotive
Comes with the switch panel, mounting hardware, a fuse block to run all the wires through, and a 60amp circuit breaker. It's not bad for the price and everything seems to be of really nice quality.
I also picked up a bunch of 14awg wire, connectors, braided sleeve, and some plugs to make everything consistent and neat under the hood.
Just screwed it into the fuse box and mounted the breaker on the wheel well.
I then mounted the switch panel on the dash.
And, here is a hint of things to come...
Got all my lights back on and wired up as well.

I've got a similar Switchpro knockoff from Amazon, it looks identical other than the LEDs being blue. I'm a huge fan! Glad I wasn't the only one to just put it on top of the fuse box, man these engine bays are lacking any extra room for fun.

There is just no space haha. Thought about making a nice mount but honestly, it would have made it more of a pain to get to the fuse box.

I love the rack. My 2000 came with no rails. So gotta figure that out.
Thanks
