    Streamlight Strion LED charger/holster mounted in the glove box. Good to have a nice flashlight handy! Also added an OCD glove box organizer.

    CSF:
    120oz
    Dual row
    Aluminum end tanks
    2” taller than stock

    Coolant temps last summer would slowly creep up while not moving. I was considering doing a Ron Davis radiator, but @Roostfactor found this one.

    $350 vs $1,200. Worth a try! :fingerscrossed:

    This is very cool. I have the same light and typically bring it wheeling. Cause it's an awesome little thing.

    How do you have it powered up?

    I drilled a hole in the back of the glove box. The wire runs through that hole and its routed over behind the 12v cigarette lighter ports.

    I stripped back the two wires on one of the 12v outlet plugs and connected the flashlight wires. I even added a little R/C car connector right behind the glove box, so if I ever have to take out the glove box the flashlight harness will easily unplug.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074TD5Q28/

    I didn’t take any pics of the wiring, but all of the connections are soldered and then covered with heat shrink tubing.

    For anyone trying to remove the cigarette lighter sockets, this tool makes it super easy:

    Even with a mild 2” lift, the stock jack doesn’t go high enough to be of any use. So I bought the Omega jack from Amazon that Safejack sells. Also picked up the Safejack starter kit.

    The bottle jack has a pretty small footprint, so I got a 10x10 steel plate and made this foot for it. My weld skills are quite noobish, but it should hold well enough to keep the jack from sliding around on the plate.

    I think my wire feed speed was too high so it looks pretty messy, but it’ll do.

    Rear bumper upgrade is happening now... SOS Offroad Concepts standard Rear with swing out carrier and find down table.

    Won’t miss the dumb ass spare tire winch and the dumb tools that go along with it.

    SOS makes some nice stuff. I think you will be happy with the results.

    Only thing left is to install the license plate and lights. Also taking the spare tire winch off.

    Made an attachment for the swing out to carry my mountain bike. The bike fits inside the bed, but it gets a little cramped carrying tools and stuff. Way easier to carry it outside. #shortbedproblems

    In the pic the bike tire looks close to the ground but in reality it’s about 10” off the ground.

    1 1/4” square tubing
    3” x 3/16” flat bar
    1 3/4” U-Bolts
    Old Yakima wheel track
    Delta Cycle thru axle fork mount
