Installed a storage net as an attic today. It's a 9 Moon net I got on Amazon.

I found I'm going to need more bungees. The 2 I have are not enough

Started gathering what I would need so that my neighbor and I can build a Storage Drawer / Sleep system. I decided I want one drawer to be slightly wider than my Coleman Classic Grill (about 13"). This drawer wouldn't need to have a guide rail as long as the other side, so I went with a 24" guide rail from Home Depot and will build that drawer at 28", and should leave an open compartment roughly 6" deep. The other drawer will use the 34" Firgelli guide rail.

Shopping List:

1 - 4x8 pine 3/4" plywood (local hardware store $40.49)
1 - 4x8 pine 1/2" plywood (local hardware store $30.79)
1 - 1 1/4" wood screws (Home Depot $6.47)
1 - 24" guide rails (Home Depot $19.98)

1 - 32" guide rails @ 400 lbs (Amazon Firgelli 800MM-32ZN $42)

2 - drawer handles
4 - mounts to tie-down cooler or other items
4 - turnbuckles

Here's the current drawings - some measurements aren't correct in pics:

I'm going to cut the grill to fit the light bar.

I cut the grill, used different L brackets, and installed everything.

What's the benefit of installing an AIP? And how has that worked for you since then?

Also, how do you like the OME suspension? Have you taken it off road at all? Comparison between on and off road?

There’s some info out there about the AIP for the V8 engine that can explain the benefit.

I really like the OME lift with the AT2 tires. It’s got the height I wanted and a comfortable ride. The only off-road has been some gravel/dirt roads, and I enjoyed it.

I finally finished my Drawer Sleep System. I used some Ace Hardware $5 Catch latches (2 1/8”), so far they seem ok holding the drawers in place while driving. The section over the rear seats, I used Home Depot corner brackets and L brackets to secure the supports.

Impressive!

Installed Treaty Oak OffRoad Front Recovery Points. Though I’m not sure I like how the Rhino shackle sits against the factory tow loop. I know they say for ‘06 and up, you should cut them. Maybe I should do the same.

I posted this solution to fix the broken bolts for the Sway Bar bracket.

Added these two bags to my center console, purchased from Blue Ridge Overland Gear.

I decided to go with the Gazelle T4 over the T3, figured for the price difference on Amazon, it was worth getting the larger tent. Mine is the orange one.

Next thing to add on this new 8'x9' (roughly) awning, I've ordered. I am considering selling this product with any of these three options:
