Swapped out the cheap 3 spoke steering wheel on my Suburban for the factory original.

Didn't really do anything to the Rig, but spent several hours cleaning my recovery gear. My tree savers where a bit muddy.
Reinstalled the Rola Rack after finding out the aftermarket brackets from 4xinnovations was bare steel. One day of rain and rust formed. Wet sanded it with 220, a couple coats of rust reformer, and a couple coats of flat black paint ought to do it.
Then took the family to the park for a Sunday picnic after church and used the rack for the stroller. No more jamming it between the second row and all the car seats inside!

Nothing special.. Just did my first checkup of the vehicle.. opened up the hood and checked oil and stuff.. Never really did that to the last vehicles I owned as they where brand new and I know they didn't 'use' oil.. Well I'm glad on the first 1400 KM's I drove with the Cruiser it used 0 as well :)
Over the past few years I've veered away from the bed towers and went with a cap. I loved the simple set of with the towers however I didn't like getting dirt/mud all over my gear, especially living in the south, I have a pelican case that has been stained by the red clay mud.

Spent the weekend camping with friends and hanging out at Pineview Dam. The water is the only way to beat the constant 100 degree weather we keep having.
Too busy having fun to remember to take more pics...

Route 37023 (roper hollow rd) at South Mountain State park and gameland in western NC. Narrow, muddy and beautiful views. Unfortunately it doesn't go all the way through again unti this fall due to the fire damage from last year.

Few additions going in next couple of weeks. Bestop pet barrier and a cargo rack (waiting on the backbone system to be delivered).

Haha yes just installed my Rola Rack so it's low profile. No $ for lift or full length just yet!

May not seem like much. But I'll take anything close to a win. We got solar power, ARB refer and duel battery wired up. And....actually got the winch working WOO HOO! Also got jack mounted on front end. The plywood block you see is where the battery will sit. Yes, sealed and vented:)

Not what I did TO my rig but rather FOR my rig. Project "solo install" complete. No more burdening friends to help install and remove the roof top tent. Turned out pretty good!

I finally got my OBA permanently installed.
Finished Product First
A shot from the underside before I finished the wiring.
A shot of the test bed to check the plumbing and electrical before the install.

This beats my 'Trebuchet' apparatus hands down! Makes mine look like its from the Primitive Technology YouTube Channel.Not what I did TO my rig but rather FOR my rig. Project "solo install" complete. No more burdening friends to help install and remove the roof top tent. Turned out pretty good!
