    @EatSleepTacos has great things to say about the Titanium 170. Super helpful when I was pondering the same road.

    Wheels should be finished early next week. I'm going to have to wash the truck after this weekend mini-wheeling sesh so the clean wheels and new tires pop

    The 4 days with KYTLCA the following weekend.

    Hopefully some spindle gussets in the interim. Lots happening

    I had an awesome weekend with the KYTLCA. You'd be wrong to think these guys just cruise around on gravel roads. Oh no, they wheel the shit out of their trucks.

    I pushed mine further than I ever thought possible and it didn't even flinch.

    Short review of recent additions:
    - SCS F5 wheels with custom powder coat. Looks great
    - Yoko M/T G003 285/75r17. It's like cheating. These tires are so freaking good.
    - BAMF shackles and hangers, took a beating
    - rear bumper delete is awesome, debating if I want one now (kidding, still going to build one)
    - OVTune 2.0, a little twitchy off road. I need to dive into VF tuner and play with throttle tip in.

    Very limited pics from the weekend to follow. I didnt take a lot, was too busy driving and rescuing land cruisers, haha

    Replacement tail light(s) are on the way, to fix the one I smashed.

    The smashed light will be a test dummy for a few projects.... Can't wait to cut it open.

    Also getting excited for the bumper, hopefully making some progress in the next couple weeks. Goal is a complete bumper by Rush.

    It's been running non-stop for a few months. 3 successful camping and wheeling trips and many COLD ciders/seltzers consumed.

    Honestly though, the solar portion itself is overkill. If I did it again I'd get just the DC-DC converter and call it a day. I rarely take advantage of the solar.

    The battery will run the fridge for about 4 days sitting in my garage. Fridge set to 37 F.
