Rolling down the trail on whiskey ...

.. and there's no problems.?

Yay!. I hope. Guess just factory under-fill and a little too much offroad making oil slosh?

 

I have the Peerless Auto-Trac chains and I've used them on the trail before. They held up fine. I don't recommend spinning your tires with them, but they helped out a ton when I went snow wheeling. In my opinion, they are the easiest to get on and get tight. Taking them off is a breeze too. Just practice putting them on in your driveway prior to and it will be much easier than trying to figure it out on the trail.

 

Did a bit of boating.


14mpg @ 75 or so. Not too horrible.

 

Heh. Actually did some stuff to the truck.

I know, this is 'ultra slow build'.



Cali Raised MOLLE system. Basically used as somewhere to strap on some skis.



Added the (missing) back of the bed rail. Stripped two bolts doing so, getting new ones. yay..? Also mounted the swing out cargo box and maxtrax. Might switch out the config later.

 

Update on this.. in case anyone cares. There was some scratches in the cylinder walls. Factory fubar. Fixed under warrantee at about 40k miles.

 

Put the camper shell solar in on a temporary mount.





Gotta do up some brackets to get the ammo cans mounted permanently on that back rail, but this was mostly a 'it's dry and I'm going to get it at least on temporarily project.

Nothing fancy - 100w flexible monocrystalline panel, renology 30 amp charge controller, a old deep cycle marine battery I had lying around. Adding an 12vdc plug to the ammo can at some point.

 

Initial parts of the bumper install done - fit up complete .. just gotta go drill some more holes and do a bunch of clean up and electrical.

 

Bumper and relay stuff finished - DOT rigids got installed (OEM harness), trigger relay installed, winch properly wired via a relay (vs direct to the battery), and relocated the antenna to a drop mount.

 

Swapped the OEM battery hold for the OGE .. also swapped the OEM battery for the x2power.
