    Thank you, appreciate the comment. More additional parts to be added as soon as our weather gets a bit better here in ohio. Prinsu roof rack and CaliRaised light bar are patiently waiting in my garage.

    Weather is looking to be pretty decent this weekend. Hope to get my Prinsu rack and CaliRaised light bar installed.

    Any tips and or tricks on how to run the light bar wire into the cab. I watched a couple videos a while back, just thought I'd ask.

    Installed the Prinsu roof rack, caliraised light bar, and brought the CVT and kb voodoo bed rack out from winter storage. Was a good day.

    Added a GoPro mount. Although I’m not too happy with it and will make some modifications

    Went through the car wash last night and noticed water pouring in through the headliner. So made the appmt to get the third brake light fixed. Woof.

    I had always been suspicious of it leaking as its smelled ever since buying truck, esp when temps get hot, just was never able to see water. Hope its not moldy under that headliner.

    Came across some pelican cases. In the process of restoring. Goo gone for the stickers and duct tape. Plasti Dip for the finish. Here’s a progress pic. Plan to mount the 1720 to the prinsu.

    not sure what to do with the 1660 or the other smaller cases.

    Special thanks to @Mr. Excitement for crafting these grab handles for the prinsu. Now I need my truck back.

    Added a portable power supply for camping. Looking to eventually get a solar panel and put on the prinsu. Must say, this this is powerful for the size. Played my Bose portable and charged two phones from 32% for about 10 hours yesterday. Still has 12% when I woke up today.

    Added the grab handles @MrExcitment made for me and the Pelican case I refurbished. Think it’s looking good.

    Took the truck out in blistering 3 degree weather today here in Ohio. Did very well in 4hi. Not to often I use it but when I do, it’s fantastic.

    I'm liking the DIY shower. I suppose the sun would provide a little warmpth. I'm looking forward to seeing it painted. ;) How many gallons does it hold?

    Thanks man. Holds about 4 gallons. I need add a pressure relief valve set to 30psi and get a cheap battery operated air compressor. Plan is to run the compressor continuously at 30psi while the relief valve will purge any extra pressure. This way the tube remains pressured when in use. I found that I lost pressure pretty quickly when testing a couple months ago.

    Pretty neat stuff. I've never done any overlanding but I can see the appeal.... which would certainly fuel the desire for things Ike this.
