    I'll let you know! I'll play around with how I'm going to set everything else up in the truck to see if it's feasible to relocate the fridge. I have so much left still to do before next weekend. I'm pretty bummed I didn't have enough RAMM mat to finish that job this weekend. That would have saved a ton of last minute stress that I'm sure to endure in the coming days. Shit, I still need to pick up some trail books for CO and UT. I knew I was forgetting to order something.

    Damn man, those are the ones on my list, along with the northern CO book. I appreciate that! I think it's time that I get my own though. I go up there a few times a year but have only stuck to stuff I know up until now that I'm built for more of the fun stuff.

    I bought them when I made my first trip up there after buying the truck. Being completely stock I needed something to tell me where I was going to be pretty safe with no experience. Didnt make it to N CO so I held off on buying that one until I end up in that area. I found them easily when i was in the areas. You can probably save a few bucks on Amazon though. If anything changes and you want to borrow them just let me know. I can give them up for a few months since I dont have plans to travel that way again this year.

    I've got a question for y'all...

    I'm gearing up some spare parts to take with me on my trip in case I get myself into trouble. So far on my list I've got tie rods and a CV axle... anything else that's a common point of failure when wheeling hard that I should look to bring along?

    Tire valve stems, I've ripped one out on a rock before. Used a hilift to break the bead, changed it out and reset the bead with a ratchet straps.

    Can you get a standard valve stem that will fit in place of the TPMS?

    Sounds like an effective method to fix a valve stem. I should have mentioned... I'm covered when it comes to tire repair and recovery gear. The last bit of CYA I need to address is truck parts/fluids for the things that can break and be replaced on the trail. I've never had to fix anything on a trail other than a winch rope, so y'all's experience is welcome and appreciated!

    Edit: I'll be on trail alone most of the time after the first week, so I have to be sorta careful.

    Yeah, you can get them for about a buck at a car parts store. I forget the proper size but that's easy to find here. It's good cheap insurance because while a nail in a tire will leak slow, if you shear off a valve stem that tire is staying flat. I've lost valve stems twice, both were metal stems for TPMS that caught a rock and broke, no Band-Aids for that.

    Standard cheapo valves will work just fine. I keep some of them as well as some of these valves I picked up during a group buy hosted by our buddy Ramon.

    Finally got around to doing the 400w anytime mod, and while I was at it went ahead and added some outlets in the console to power all the goodies.

    looks good! I may need to do that sometime. Would be nice to not have a power inverter plugged into the cig lighter and just have a few regular outlets in the cab.

    ^ and that picture made me realize I put the console down over the front lip of the rear floor liner

    Right!? Lol I'll fix it tomorrow. I got some longer seat bracket bolts in the mail today that I need to install tomorrow. I'm going to add some 3/4" spacers under the brackets to raise the rear of the seat a little bit to hopefully increase comfort on my upcoming journey.

    Interesting. I never thought to look at instructions for installing the floor liners... guess I should have!
