    Don't mind the cushion...only temporary. My hi-lift is wrapped in the gray blanket. Fits perfect for now.

    Picked up one of these reliance 6gal cans thinking it would fit right here. It does like a charm.

    My recovery gear, compressor, and tools all fit here perfectly

    Hope you enjoy. More to come. I put up the camo curtains today that were in my Flippac. Looking forward to getting out on the trail ASAP.

    So far the fridge is working out great. I've recently had the 2nd battery system finished and I can take only food instead of two frozen water bottles. May get an actual test this xmas holiday.

    I hope you don't poop in that tent! Or if you do, do you keep your windows up after you fart? :)

    It has been used for poopin but that is what wag bags/cat litter are for. Mainly for showers when not in Saline of course.

    Well a suspension upgrade/enhancement has happened with the advice and help of Crom. First off he has inspired me and many others with his trip reports. Second his meticulous attention to detail is amazing. Thanks again for making this happen!

    More pics will follow after my next trip. All these new shiny parts need some dirt on em. I'm hoping it wont settle too much. Especially in the front. I think the front is actually a bit higher than the OME set up that the Bilsteins replaced. Right now I'd also say that the drivers side lean looks leveled from the rear of the truck. Measurements support this claim too. I have a half tank in the truck so that may change with the next fill up.
