Shrockworks rock sliders and a full set of their skid plates. I didn't have a jack... that made it very interesting when I was doing the gas skid.
 
I finally got around to installing a charger. I went with a ProMariner Prosport8 and mounted it behind the front bumper. I don’t drive a lot throughout the week, so I wanted to show my batteries some love.

And finally, the plug. I could have hidden it, but with everything else, what’s the point.

Shortly after permanently mounting my ram mount I figured out that the one bolt mount might not be the best way to do it. It was difficult to get it tight enough and even if I did it is just plastic. So today I super glued a large fender washer to the back side of the radio bezel and used a lock washer. Tightened it down pretty well. Hopefully this will do the trick. If not I might have to mount the 2 point one with rivets.

not today, but in the last 2 months-ish I . . . .

removed AMP power steps. ($250 takes them! need new motors)

installed ARB drawers.

covered up the shiny bits with some black overlays.

wrapped up dual battery set up using the Shrockworks relocation kit, Blue Sea stuff, Odyssey extreme w/ HKB voltage booster.

integrated a Switch Pro off the house battery.

installed power panel in rear to power the Dometic fridge and hot USB ports.

took it out for a test run down to Fossil Rim in Glen Rose, TX.

had, (as my son described him...) "genius" giraffe abscond with our one bag of animal food! I guess the Gobi wasn't quite as tasty.

ordered and received C4Fab sliders and lo pro bumper, only took about 5 weeks

dropped them off at powder coat place a couple days ago and ....

today, I am waiting for the call that they are done.

updates to come . . . and many thanks to all the members and write-ups that helped and inspired along the way. . .:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Woke up to ashes from the Holy Fire. Prayers to the frontline guys fighting this thing.

Did the giraffe snatch the purse?????
 
Rear hatch release switch - Antman inspired

I was bored at work so I wired up a switch inside the cargo area to open the back hatch. Look forward to trying it out.

Haha, that would have really sucked. . . that is the paper bag full of animal feed. You throw it out to attract the animals closer, but you can hand feed the giraffes. I was feeding him out my window but he saw the bag on the center console and came in through sunroof. Helped himself to the whole thing, ate the bag and all.
 
Last night, actually. Replaced fuel pump.

The fuel pump was working just fine, but the check valve in it had failed, allowing gas to flow back into the tank, causing a long crank condition.

I really, really wish I had used anti seize when installing my gas tank skid. Snapped all of the welded nuts inside the frame off and had to drill and rivnut them all.
