Not really overlanding or off road related but I added a new cheapie Bluetooth radio last night.

Thanks! I've also had my eye on the Move Bumper kits. At this point I'm still undecided.

Here she is on the maiden Voyage home with our Brand new 2017 Rockwood Roo 21DK Hybrid

I may eventually go with the flipped hitch and actually remove the bottom part of the bumper. I've been contemplating it. As far as the winch right now it's a smaller winch that I'm going to keep mounted to the hitch plate so I can swap it between my Blazer and the Avalanche. I hope to...

Some other little work this weekend. Installed a new frame strengthening hitch, relocated the tow electric connection from the hitch to the bumper on the left of the plate and acquired a hitch mount winch that I test fit and am working on installing.
