    Well its a land Cruiser with a diesel so I've got that going for me.
    I still think there is more value in a full bedslide for 800 than an ARB fridge slide for 300...

    Will probably pick up a group 31 battery within the coming month or so. OBA setup is still in progress, I want to get a bigger tank and find a better place for the compressor so its not in the tool box. Skids and rear bumper will be built over spring break in March. Bumper plan is identical to ATO using 3/16 for the main section and 10 gauge for the sides. Tire carrier will swing up like , be able to hold a 35, and have brackets for a set of reverse light pods.

    Going to measure the pelfrey to see if I can squeeze a 30" led bar inside or on top of it. :spy:

    Current plan: Compressor in tool box, 2.5 gal viair tank under the truck, manifold with secondary regulator for lockers and pressure relay in the larger bed storage compartment, air line running to open bed cubby area for easy access.

    -Rear bumper
    -Skids
    -Rock lights
    -OBA completed
    -Change oil
    -Paint bumpers, sliders, skids, frame with rust reformer and rustoleum
    -New (smaller) ground harness for otrattw switches
    -Epoxy top radio bracket
    -Permanent windshield GoPro Mount
    -Group 35 Diehard platinum battery
    -Diagnose shorting? problem with otrattw panel (sometimes power is activated to them when parking lights turned on) not really sure whats going on, going to try a different source for the dash light tap.
    -Reverse light pods

    Going to have me some work to do over spring break. Hopefully I can get all of it knocked out.

    Yeah just installed it over Christmas. I have no idea what the problem is. I thought I solved it after undoing all the connections then doing it again but it's started acting up again. They are wired for the indicator to come on with dash lights but sometimes after I hit a bump or something the switches will indicate they are switched on and the fog lights will come on (since they're the only things currently hooked up). Then it'll go out and back to the indicator. Only happens when the parking lights/ halos or headlights are on. I currently have the dash lights tapped to the factory fog light wire so I'm going to pull that and use a fuse tap to a blank spot instead as well as wrap the three connections where the harnesses run to the single wire. Hoping one of those two things solves the problem.

    Only drive once a week so hoping the salt doesn't molest it too bad :eek:

    Just ordered LED strips to do the rock lights. Steel order will happen within the next couple days. I'll pick up other misc stuff when I get home.
    Decided not to jump to the 2.5 gal tank. 1 gal isn't really going to make much difference and may as well use the tank included with the puma. Whole setup is going to be divorced in the tool box, kinda makes sense since I have to get into the tool box to get the air hose anyway.
