THANKS to @ddog45 this one is in the books. I appreciate it man. Let me know when you get the stove and it all checks out.

Thanks, I hope to get a few hours on them over the next week or two and wrap them up.

I think you should go out camping sooner than Thanksgiving then! Haha All work and no play makes @ramonortiz55 a sad adventurer.

I have an awesome 18" Partner Steel Stove with the built in wind screen. I am looking to expand my cooking surface now that the family (of 5!) is coming along more often and GROWING up! I will add cash/pay for shipping both ends and or add gear to strike a deal. I'd like to see if anyone wants...

Here is how the ol' gal sits as of Sept 2018 with 330k on the clock...

It's official, LED's have taken over the world. I just got these 130w Halogen upgraded bulbs for my Hella 4000's (the on ce undisputed KING of off road lights) for about $1.50/bulb... shipped. The amount of light these produce over their 55w originals is insane. I have a set on my FJ40 but...

After a late night trip home from a trail the other day I realized my lights up front needed addressing. I hadn’t plugged the Hella 4000’s into the new auxiliary battery system and they needed some adjusting. I made up a new wiring harness to tie into the auxiliary power system and bumped up the...

Ripped off my HAM antenna my trusty Comet SBB5 again... I think I am going to go to a hood mount. I am also exploring new antenna options for trail work for the dual band HAM. I have a SBB-1 that I use for trail work, but each time I have forgotten to swap it out when on the trail I have yanked...

After playing last weekend I got a slight vibration in the driveline at 60mph and above when I came off the throttle. Putting the truck up on stands revealed the rear u-joint had some play in it... maybe 1/16" but only when it was unloaded. With the wheels on the ground it didn't budge. Anyhow...

The CV let go after slinging too much grease without me addressing it. It did let go in amazing death wobble fashion! Scared the poo out of me. This was the last straw in terms of me keeping the 35's... back to the 305 x 65- 18's for me. Anyone want a good set of 35x12.5-18 BFG K02 with 5k...

The drawers aren't done yet. Maybe 60% or so, but man the space is already so handy...

You can see here how the spacer fills the gap to allow the platform to rest on the back of the seat. This will eventually get carpet to keep any chaffing of the leather to a minimum. The platform was surprisingly solid... no movement at ALL. I was stoked. Here's the view from the back, I made...

A little update on the drawers... before a 5 day trip to NE Montana for the Outlaws Run, I finished up a sleeping platform. It worked so well on the trip. One night we had a storm roll through with lots of lightning and rain... I slept like a baby in the 100, watching the lightning and grabbing...

Next up was tackling the drivers side wing. Getting the fit right took me a while, but I am pretty picky. I want the sleeping platform functional for an off road trip I am doing this up coming week. I made a profile out of cardboard to tweak the fit. Then adjusted it and transferred it to a...

I got a few hours to work on the drawers (I am pushing for a long trip this weekend/next week with some friends from Rising Sun 4x4. Today I wanted to get to mounting the box, building the side wing for the sleeping platform and the platform extension. I finished 2/3 so not too bad. First up...

Next I had to cut the top, easy enough. I just ran it through the table saw up without going all the way through to the other end. This kept the strength of the one piece top and will help with keeping the drawers square. I left the front edge of the top 1" longer for an overhang. With 3/4"...

Snuck in a few more hours on the drawers today. First order on the list was to fit up the fridge compartment and cut the top to the correct size. all in all it went well. It was a balancing act of how tight to make the walls for the fridge enclosure but in the end I think I will have plenty of...

I scored a great deal off the "scratch and dent" rack at my local lumber yard. I nabbed two sheets 3/4 sheets and two sheets of 1/2 birch and one sheet of 1/4 birch for $60 out the door. It was my lucky day Time to start chopping. I made some quick measurements in the back of the 100 and...

For the hardware I decided to bite the bullet and spend the $$$ for the good stuff. I picked up a full set of Accuride Slides for this build. I picked up a pair of the 500# locking slides and a pair of their non locking counterparts (they have yet to arrive). I also picked up a set of 100#...

So I have finally found the time to get started on my rear storage setup in the 100. I have wanted a rear drawer setup for about as long as I have had the 100, I just wasn't 100% sure what I wanted... well, I take that back. I wanted a set of two full length drawers that gobbled up all the...
