Using a $12 HarborFreight “pelican” case, $8 aluminum bar, misc hardware, I built a removable case for some air tools that can hang on my molle panel.

Picked her out Friday

I found a relatively rust free 2010 SR5 with some upgrades from the factory. Light rust (a miracle in N Wisconsin for that age of vehicle), very clean, no accidents, and in the color I wanted! Magnetic Grey.

I can't wait to dig through the countless 5th gen pages now!

So far, I started Fluid Filming the body (not much to do on 2nd inspection), took the tailgate apart and derusted that (light for the miles and area). Next will be inspection of the tranny fluid, differentials, and then making a list from the 5th Gen info and build pages!

Got ten years from oem Panasonic battery

Replaced the oem battery on my 2011 SR5. Picked up a Walmart 24F Maxx series for $100. They've lasted the 5 yrs in previous vehicles. I probably would've gotten more out of the oem if I had taken care of it. All the cells were at the minimum line.
 
More trails in the Ouachita National Forest

I hit some more trails today. Met up with some friends, and we explored some new areas none of us had been to before. Had a great time, and the weather was awesome. 68 degrees and sunny. Not a cloud in the sky.

I'm not totally sure about this. I've always liked wood, pistol grip shift knobs so I got this one. It fits good and feels good in the hand but since there's no other wood in the interior it looks a bit out of place. I'll live with it for now. I think Ill probably keep it.

Changed oil and both air filters after out 4K trip along the Cascades, Sierras, and Rockies.

Oh, cleaned out the food wrappers!
 
Installed 18W - 6 LED fixure to light up winch during night time use. Connected to SwitchPro 9100. Took about an hour with most of that time getting the correct bends in the aluminum bracket.

NICE!
Can you provide a link on the "misc hardware" that connects together?


Here you go…

6 Pairs Flush Mount Bracket,Interlocking Furniture Connector,Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Photo Frame Hook Picture Hanger for Large Picture Display Art Gallery Wall Mount Hardware - - Amazon.com

They fit perfectly on the back of the HB case.

And some #6 machine bolts, nuts, washers.

Then bolts/rivnuts to attach bar to the FinnFab molle.

prinsu back plate

made a backplate for my prinsu fairing out of recycled plastic.

1. cut a piece of useless plastic in the color you want, or buy some acrylic sheets.
2. either use lots of double sided tape (make sure you press it down for a while) or screw it down.
3. thinner the plastic, the easier to cut (with a razor blade) or a dremel if its thicker.
4. revel in your artistic masterpiece, while you enjoy a cold beer.
