    Changed our the air in the tires to a fall/winter air mix.

    Not really but I did have to add some air to the rears since the tpms said so and they were actually about 2 pounds low.

    Too many bwb's (basic white bitches) in my area. They were out of the pumpkin soice when I went to buy the air from the local artisan vegan air dealership.

    not today but a few days ago, havent had time to post.

    Installed my switchBROs chinese switch panel (only thing it controls for now is the light bar, the rest are wishful future installations)
    switchpanel.jpg

    Fuse box has different mounting holes and I didn't want to drill unnecessary holes so I made an aluminum bracket adapter
    fusebox.jpg

    Installed headlight relay harness per @crashnburn80 recommendation. The harness is beautiful.
    headlight relay.jpg

    Pasted on a 10hp sticker in rear window, installed d rings in the bed, holes in bed mat, and tested out the loadout in general through 12 miles of bumps/humps of the crossover trail by Ocotillo Wells. Cooler stayed in place surprisingly, maybe I'll bring a gas can next time.

    can't offroad without the mandatory poser pic.

    How did you get up into that upper switch panel? I'd like to add a light switch there.

    Hey someone asked for front seat pictures of the carhartt seat covers. Here they are.

    Came pretty wrinkled out of the box but smoothing out and going to tighten/adjust once they break in a little. Overall very happy with the purchase.

    I pulled out the little drawer that's in front of the fuse box. Reached in and pushed out the mirror controls. I used the hole to route the wires. I couldn't get my fingers behind the switch blank I wanted so I used a plastic trim knife that I had from a previous install to pry out the blank. As you can see in the pictures, I was a little rough and marked up the area around the switch but if you are careful you can do it without messing it up.
