    Drill and mount water fill housing
    Drill and mount pot filler
    Mount water accumulator
    Weld in 2 more light tabs for up front
    Order two more lights
    Leds underneath
    Install 2000watt inverter
    Fab up sliding drawer (500# 36" sliding hinges) for rtic cooler and future fridge
    I'm sure theres more...
