Nice wheel/tire setup! Mind sharing?

Today was a bit busy as I decided to do step 2 of my aux battery install first. Because once the 2nd battery is in (Rago tray), there is less room to work with to get the wire through the grommet.
This install was a bit involved as I removed all of the sliding tray pieces, the 60% side seat, door sills, B pillar bottom trim and passenger side rear panels.
So ran a 30A fused lead through the firewall grommet and backwards via the harness racetrack under the door sills. Decided to install the Anderson Powerpole outlet unswitched and AND wire in switched Blue Sea 4363 panel. I'm planning to plug the fridge lead into the Anderson outlet as I've never trusted the simple 12V outlet to not "eject" the plug. The CSI fridge does have a low voltage cut-out.
Here's the Anderson outlet at the stock 12v/110 spot...
Here's the Blue Sea in the access panel...
Once I got it all buttoned back up, I finally got around to installing the CanvasBack kit...
Next up is installing the Odyssey 34R AGM in the Rago tray and wiring it up to the REDARC BCDC1225D mounted on a C4 accessory bracket.

Swapped 2019 TPMS for 2021 TPMS
I recently purchased the TRD Pro black wheels and Nitto tires from a 2019 owner but had to swap the 2019 TPMS for my 2021 TPMS. They are different parts so the 2019 TPMS would not work on my 2021 TRD Off-Road Premium.
Drove it for about 3 miles at 25 mph and now they work!

Nice! What compressor is this? Thanks!
Extreme Weather
On Thursday morning I was awakened by a pretty extreme weather event. Not happy about taking the 4R to a body shop but, fortunately, all the damage looks pretty light and no glass work is needed. Just had my windshield replaced on Wednesday too. Should be a paint-less fix, but we'll see. Roof on the the house is also likely to need work. Freaking Awesome! :rant:

Installed the aux battery in the Rago tray - tight fit but very well engineered and perfectly fabricated - color me impressed.
As part of the kit, they provided two accessory brackets to mount up a Blue Sea ACR (and other stuff) AND even a surprise bracket designed for a Redarc DC-DC charger. The only thing is - the accessory bracket hangs the Redarc over the heat of the engine. The Redarc shuts down at 175F -- so that is something to think about (I didn't choose to use it and will be mounting the Redarc elsewhere).
I chose the Odyssey 34R so that the positive terminal would be away from the fender wall.

Took her on a family trip to Zion. The fresh lift came in handy, and actually got to use four-wheel drive a few times! [emoji16]

Awesome. We’re planning on going in April. Towing a 19’ TT as well. Where did you end up boondockin?
Great set up. I’m get ready to do the same Bilstein set up as you - if I can find any in stock. Do you run airbags ?

Sure.
Helo 878 in 17x9 and the Falken AT3 Wildpeak 265/70/17. I did have rubbing due to the 9" wheel but simple fender liner push and a very minor lower fend trim along with the front mud flap removal. Now the I have a 2.5" lift and an alignment I can easily fit 285s on there.

DIY'd a drawer. Spent $200 in material from HD. No prior wood working skills, just followed some online DIY's.

That’s great!
Tried to figure out why my rear hatch/window/wiper/defogger will not work, fuses are good, bought a new rear ecu, checked connections. Still nothing. Guess there is a short somewhere? Driving me nuts! First electrical problem I’ve ever dealt with automotive wise so I have some learning to do.

Tied my rear diff and rear locker breathers together and routed it to the engine bay. Built a manifold with a breather vent made for gearboxes and extended the other breathers in the engine bay into it as well.
Would have loved to been installing my lift, but like others I’m patiently (as patiently as I can) waiting in the Eibach Pro lift.
Instead I installed a set of the plug and play PoerBass speakers (font 6x9s, reader door 6.5” and an MB Quart 6.5” in the hatch). Not a bad audio upgrade over stock for just a few hundred dollars.
