    Nope no stick. Maybe i didn't heat it up enough? I put some dabs of glue on the underside of the hood, wrapped it and taped it so hopefully it'll grab.

    Meh.. the wrap looks good, but doesn't want to sit down on that leading edge. It wants to pull up. I put some gorilla tape on the under side of the hood to keep it from pulling up. But thats only going to last so long. If I cut it back 1/4" from the hood on the top, it'd probably be fine.

    Decided to ditch the solar on the hood idea since the one I ordered was not as flexible as they made it sound. It was mounted to a piece of plexiglass, which is more flexible than my other panel, but not the completely flexible thing I was expecting. I'll still be able to get another storage box up top with it up there.

    Also ditching the anytimebackupcamera.com setup. After goofing with it for way too long, getting two replacement harnesses because the originals didn't work, I was not thrilled that it included two RCA cables that you need, but left out one, and you need two switches to make it work correctly, not one. It was time to put the dash back together, and it didn't make the cut. I think I'll grab an RCA switch, RCA to micro USB, and work on running it through the tablet instead.

    I'll get to test the KO2's in the snow tomorrow! It looked like there was a good 5" of snow out there so far and it should continue all night.

    Wrap is holding but has a few bubbles at that front edge that didnt want to hold down. :/

    K02's did well in the snow/slush/mud the past few days. No issues, and did great on an icy area that I hit with a bit too much speed.

    Just ordered the CB setup and a second Plano box for the roof.

    Debating on a propane tankless water heater for the hot water capabilities instead of the heat exchanger that I was planning on going with.

    Just from personal experience I would go with LED such as Bajadesigns. I started out with IPF offroad lights on my bumper just to help out my already anemic headlights. Than got a pair of BD to use as foglights. The BD fog lights are brighter than my headlights with the IPF's. I have never looked back or regretted buying better quality the first time. I do try and wait for a group buy or discount. So far I have X 3 sets of BD lights and I now have a semicircle of light out to my sides all the way to the front that have helped me avoid innumerable maniacal/suicidal deer.

    I did pick up a set of the Hellas, put HID bulbs in and did a few comparison pictures at some point in this thread. Although the lights are complete and I have the mesh for a grill, I have never had a chance to try to mount them. I really wish 9" circles would fit better in our grilles... I guess thats ONE good thing about the massive 3rd gen grilles!

    I converted my 8" round LA Paz lights from Baja Designs to HID. Simply awesome. I am gonna sell my light bar and the mounts here soon. Gonna replace it with some BD squadron pros up there.

    And the deed has been done...

    Water heater stuff, and a new ham antenna (to get rid of the magnetic one) have ordered.

    UPS/Fedex are going to be busy.

    Camp chef water heater. Has good reviews like the one i was originally going to try but a bit cheaper. So we'll see how it works.

    Why would you need to heat hot water?
