Things I'm NOT doing? *) A lift. I might, when the current shocks need replacement, upgrade and put on the parabolic springs, which should provide a modest 1" lift or so? But I'm not going out of my way to do this. *) A snorkel. I think fording depth is like 14" or 17"? I wish it were better...

My work is now complete. I added a Starlink Mini to the new roof rack. This is in a Striker Fabrication mount. The thing only draws about 45 watts, but it has a 50 foot power cable with a 30v DC supply wall wart. This is because the cable is fifty feet long/voltage drop. The dish specs say it...

I added some trim boards to the side of the bed. The drivers side is purely decorative, hiding the drawer side. The right side folds down, with leather straps, to make a hatch for my clothing storage I tried this once before, with a thin board and velcro. The board warped and the velcro was a...

Gas skid from Z1 is on. Also, I put on a 500 watt Pure Sine Wave inverter. Which I'm sure is not pure sine wave, but, also, it's close enough for what I want to do. Which is to make a cup of coffee in the morning without getting out the stove, hooking it up, getting out the kettle, etc ... all...

Diff breather is on with no issues. Tank heater and batter heater are now installed also. Tank heater is under the water tank and battery heater is on top of the battery. I had to dremel off some of the battery holddown because its very clear about not being contact with anything conductive...

I put in a 13 gallon fresh water tank. This is based on the design @Dan Grec used. Basically there's a water pump (with a prefilter before it) attached to a home water filter. In front and behind it are L Valves. This allows me to select my water source (the water tank if I want to drink water...

I swapped out my 6' MDF bed drawer for a home built 5' aluminum one. It now weighs about a billion times less. I used the thinnest and smallest aluminum angle I could find at Home Depot: 1/2" sides and 1/16" thick. This provided the box frame and used some flats, same thickness and size, for...

Added a second, interior fuse panel, on the left side of the drivers feet. Now there's room for more goodies! The add-a-fuse thing wasn't going to work out anymore, so, I bought a split fuse panel from Blue Sea. There are 6 powered slots on the top half and six more, separately powered, spots...

I would appreciate any feedback. It's under my passenger seat of my Nissan Frontier. Yeah, I've taken a few online courses. StopTheBleed, Mountain Man Medicine, Red Cross. Hemostatic bandages Triangular bandages CPR shield 2 chest seals Glucose packs Bandage scissors Thermometer Cold packs...

Mounted the Element 100 second fire extinguisher to the drivers door, right beside, but preserving, the cup holder. Put a first aid kit under the passenger seat: Hemostatic bandages Triangular bandages CPR shield 2 chest seals Glucose packs Bandage scissors Thermometer Cold packs Hand warmers...

Conan, what is best in life? "To have excess manufacturers payload leftover once your build and loadout is done!"

Nope, I'm using it ham bands. Works fine for me, but I'm sure it sends others in to apoplexy. But, then again, you already know I wasn't using for GMRS ... that would be wrong.

Mounted up the LP detector, right under the tank. About 3" from the back door. Which I think is not great, but, closer to the tank was important, I think. I crimped the wiring because my stupid battery solding iron can get hot enough to do AWG12. I need to get a gas one, I think. My new...

Propane part I I pulled one bed support and cut a piece of chipboard to size and screwed it in to the top of my 80/20 rails. Then I put on a piece of rubber on it that I had leftover from the compressor mount. I put a pop rivit through 2 new d-rings at bed rail height and put on a velcro cinch...

Mounted and wired up a Pelsee p12pro rearview dashcam. I was kind of missing my rearview. The backup camera to the headunit works well, but, I was missing having a rearview during traffic. And, I was kind of interested in having a dashcam. Finally, moving the backup camera to the rearview gets...

I just popped in a Vero VN-N7500 50w duel-band with a Midlands ghost antenna. It's got no display on the headunit so you can do a hidden mount on it; everything is controlled from an IOS or Android device via bluetooth ... except for volume/channel up/down on the hand mic/speaker.

I got my radio installed. It's a Vero VN-N7500, a 50w duel-band unit, paired with a Midlands ghost antenna on the front winch mount. The unit is interesting because it's a ham radio without a display. You use an Android or IOS device to connect with and program it. Since I'm using an ipad mini...
