Stereo amp relocated. Fussy work and glad to have a spot for it now.

First pass at this cabinet was too big. Gave up on the extra storage, took 5" out of the width, and much happier with the fit now. It'll still accomodate all the core items and on the interior side if I need to add MOLLE panels or something to the skin it'll be easy to do. Definititely...

Makerpipe-based side cabinet roughed in. This will sit behind the driver's seat by the rear door and hold: - 12V Fridge - (3) 2.5 Gallon Scepter water jugs - Ecoflow house battery - Zip-Dee lawn chairs (standing up in the narrow center space). - Switch panel for all house electric circuits -...

Yep!

Starting the interior build in my 2000 Suburban 2500 overlander using 3/4" conduit and MakerPipe connectors. Planning two main pieces - the bed platform then a side cabinet for water, fridge, and house battery. I didn't like the idea of blocking the rear windows for storage cubbies, so designed...

Rack/light project phase 2 complete. Started with Z71 rack, added Makerpipe platform (including built-in towel rack). Used 2" muffler clamps to secure platform to rack. Added ditch lights, side/scene lights, and rear lights in the Z71 corners. Wired up the system with a 6-circuit wireless...

A few updates, now that the weather is favorable to working on the rig again. I sourced a Z71 rack and swapped it on. It sits ~2" higher than the regular rack, plus has beefier side rails and a rear roller bar for loading long things. And I am planning a tandem kayak at some point. I put LED...

Grocery bags - double bagged if need be.

Some, yea. I've documenting via YT videos: Current status: All back together after the sound deadening. And now on hold while I wait on the weather to get tolerable again.

We're still adventuring! Sold our MO house, been living in an apartment downtown Tulsa for a couple years, built a DIY camper out of a Toyota Sienna but have started a Chevy Suburban build so we can go a bit more rustic. Also in the middle of another job transition and looking for a new gig...

Small steps...getting snow just delayed everything I was planning. Got the final LED's for the doors, and a different bug shield than the one RealTruck could sell but not fulfill. The real purpose for the bugshield is to mask the 3" dent on the hose of the hood. Figured this was easier than...

With cold weather and snow in Tulsa I haven't gotten much done on the 'burb. But I do feel like I should comment on a new vendor I tried for this project: Realtruck.com. Realtruck has been acquiring a lot of brands you might recognize including ARE, Bushwacker, Lund, Superlift, and especially...

Dang...I think I have about that exact bag stashed away somewhere. Coulda saved $20...

Smashed TP > No TP. ;)

I don't think the paracord was intended to be a TP hanger. Not sure what it was meant for actually.
