06 stormtrooper

So I had another productive weekend
Finished up my platform and drawer/ table version 2.0






Should hold a couple more camping chairs and misc stuff along with my roll up table and tarp awing shown here

With room for my bedding up front

It was tax free day in town and I had a gift card to the local outdoor store. So I picked up this table I ended up only paying $30 for it with the discount no sales tax and a the grift card




No on to my DIY awning


THis was just a test run nothing was really tight. When I go to use it, it will be a whole lot tighter and better attached


All rolled up and attached to the roof rack if I want to keel it there


And it will fit inside the cover with the table


Finally I got pretty much everything I will need to wire up all my roof rack lights and back up camera. Also going to put a 12v constant outlet in the bed near my factor bed plug

 

Very nice truck...obviously putting some love into it.

Thanks for your service.

 

Thanks bud it's my honor.

And ya I've defineately put some love into it, but it's never done. I've still got stuff planned for it

 

Did some wheeling it's one of the guys from the local offload group.

 

Got a new sleeping pad from cabela's and some maxtrax

 

Got this for a bday present for myself. 1/2" 18v impact wrench

It's part of my set I'm adding too

 

hell yea looking good.
hows the CG treatin ya?

 

Good man just been flying a lot and working on our helos like crazy. We just got a 6th jayhawk here so with that comes more flight hours and way mor maintenance! And we have the standardization team here too, so everyone is extra anal about everything. But it does make it interesting. I def do love flying this time of year tho, everything is starting to turn green but the mountain tops still have snow.

How's the CG treating you Kyle?

 

Did a day trip to a private beach camping spot the coast guard has here with some of my buddies from work. Would have stayed and camped the night but my wife is working the night shift. it was 75* here today which is hot for Kodiak so it was a perfect day to go out there.

Got this in the mail yesterday. Going to replace my uniden 510, hoping to install it this weekend will I'm on duty at the hangar.

 

Picked me up a two seater and single seater kayaks today. Going to clean them up and paint them. I got a killer deal on them.

 

Had a productive day. I changed my rear diff and transfer case fluid. I added some more gasket material under my topper hopefully that will stop the little leak I had upfront. Mounted my new cobra 75 and mag mount antenna and I bent up a panel to hold my blue seas aux fuse panel.


My truck looks weird without the topper on it. But thank god for using the over head crane in the hangar made it pretty easy.


Ran the coax the same as my last antenna


And where it will be plugging in and in its holder when in use. But I will just keep it in the center console when it's not in use .

 

Mounted my shovel via quick fist mounts

 

Installed some tuff country universal shock boots on my icons


And I got my new battery tray by pelfreybilt for the group 31 diehard I'm going to be getting

 

Finally got my pelfreybilt battery tray and got it all painted up. Going to install it next week once I get my group 31 diehard.

Got to love having a paint booth
