Looking good! Ditch the hub caps! Looks way better (IMO)

I thought about dumping those. I don't really like them at all. Considering the rears as well.

Could probably sell them for some beer $$. They are not cheap.

I ditched the fronts, left the rears for now.

They are worth something?!?

When I bought the truck, they said the caps were pricey. They had added them before sale.

I kind of like the look of no front or rear caps. Especially with the service body setup I have.

Huh I'll have to look into that! Fronts bothered me because of how far out they stuck

Added/relocated a 12v four port on the front of the center console.

BOOM. Done
Some rusty looking lug nuts, but I like the look better already. Now, she just needs a bath.

Before and after:

 

[PNWINFERNOPRO]

These happened.

After 12+ years, the original PC1700 camper house batteries are starting to struggle to hold a charge. They had a great life, and experiences from Baja to BC. A small service will be held for immediate family only.

Camper clean-up day, after last trip to BC. Removed the rocker panel decals I had installed a few months ago, as well. Got tired of them.

House battery power clean-up day:
• I don't have the ability to plug-in to 110 when the truck is parked/stored, so some battery maintenance is needed.
• Started with a slight house battery wiring nest.
• Separated the two batteries' wiring, to test each. Both tested good, just needing a good charge. Have two new batteries that get to stay in house on trickle charge, for awhile. SCORE
• Added military style terminals, for easier accessories adds.
• Installed external SAE solar connection, and charge controller, with line splitter to each battery.
• Using a 35w charger/maintainer solar panel, set on the roof. A 2nd panel, temp setup, charges the Odyssey starting battery.
• All working well, with a max charging voltage reading of 13.4v in today's hazy Seattle sun.
It was a good day.
