    Added a ceiling cargo net. Should be good for jackets and random light stuff.

    Saw that you had that one in your build thread. I went the Amazon special route, must say I am impressed for it only being $20. Next I need a table for the rear door.

    Test fit the Kammock awning with the prinsu low profile mounts and it turned out really good! Now I need to sand off the terrible powder coat Prinsu did on the mounts and repaint them. Also tested out the kayak hoist for the ikamper and it works. I think I will swap out the 2x4’s with some unistrut since I really don’t trust the 2x4’s in the humid shop.

    So Honda makes a rodent tape that has capsaicin in it - they haven’t chewed my GX yet but I’ve used it in an old jeep I have. So far so good

    I have them in my truck. I think they do. I don't have any more lower back issues. But other things could be contributing to that too

    I think they are worth it, coworker has a GX and swears by them. Never really had an issue with the stock seats but the price was right so I said why not. Drove over 400 miles last weekend and was comfortable the whole time.

    After 5 years of not being able to play music through the front speakers I finally decided to replace the front woofers. They sound great for the price. Now I have to replace the rear cargo door speakers because they are blown and rattle.

    Looks like it’s time to install the dorkel. Mice got into the air box and made a nest clogging up the filter and dirtying up the maf sensor. Caused a check engine code to pop up and make the engine run like crap. Vacuumed out the nest, changed the filter, cleaned the maf sensor and reset the ecu and it’s purring like a kitten again.

    I bought a Amazon special over a year ago that I haven’t gotten around to installing yet
