    Any of you awesome overlanders interested in a patch set for 20 bucks? I am going with a horror theme on my headliner.

    Wow. Didn't know you could go to jail for that! Judge was right about the pebble, but damn it! That's too bad. I bet you miss it. Get a nice cruiser or something. I've been up to about 120 on mine (Speedo stops at 100 I think) and that was too much. Too much for the bike, not me. I can easily see myself doing 150

    The bike I had made it too easy. I knew I had to sell that thing before I killed myself on it. I used to want a cruiser after that, but not anymore. I've known too many people that have died while riding to turn me off of it. I'll stick to off road for fun. Hopefully I can move back somewhere with good dirt biking and get the best of both worlds.

    Can you keep them all and just change them out according to seasons, mood, upcoming holiday ect?

    It would be interesting to see a spring inspired headliner

    @EatSleepTacos

    I am going to the auto parts store to get new wipers for my Taco. I want to pick up the easy slice, female connector & wire for the FL anytime mod. What gauge wire do you recommend?

    I'd pick up small wire, like 18 or 20 gauge and get the appropriate fittings for that size (they're generally the red ones). So far this is my favorite wire tap of the various types

    How did you connect it to the relay? Is this what you meant by you just stuffed the wire and pressed the relay in?

    On mine I was lazy and didn't use a wire tap. I just shoved exposed wires into the green wire plug and taped it up. A wire tap is much better.

    Create a small wire, maybe 10" in length and put a female tip on each end. Connect one end to the bent relay, and the other to the wire tap (on the green wire).

    I have an iPhone 8. Just learned that you can use the compass as an altimeter, level, and get exact gps coordinates. Can copy and send them to someone.

    Wednesday! Then I'm just waiting on my longer brake lines to come in. We're going to have a mod day Sunday and install bumpers on two trucks, and do my brake lines and shocks. Also fix our fog light mod

    @bski22 @ADV4R @fatfurious2 @HCJ You guys want to try and hit Rausch or AOAA on the 25th or Mar 4th? I want to try this new stuff out. May even be warm enough to drive up the night before and camp.
