What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[vagabondexpedition]

From Sunday.
Stayed on pavement for the day and ventured out to the Calgary Jeepers for Vets annual Veterans food bank drive.

We filled numerous large boxes of food items for the area vets in need.

Dig the tire size and low stance... curious how well they tuck up into the wheel wells and what if any modifications were necessary to make that happen.

Installed a second battery to support the winch and other future add-ons. Got the bumper welded up, grinded down and started painting. Cold weather is making the paint almost impossible to dry :/ Stock bumper is removed waiting for the new one.

Installed a 100w Renogy Solar Panel and wired it to the Odyssey House Batt thru a Solar Controller.

Just undo two wing nuts and the 20lb gas struts prop her up and face the setting sun.

Do you happen to have a parts list? I have a front runner and have had thoughts of doing this.

Renogy panel, gas struts and hardware were all from Amazon, Dual Batt System was sourced from Offgrid Engineering as well as a Switch Pro to control all the goodies.

Why are the new shocks mounted with the rod down? I've always wondered this but have never done it..

According to Paul at PRG where I got the shocks, they can be mounted in either direction with or without the boot.

I went without the boot because living in a dry dusty part of the world i have had boots collect sandy abrasive type of material and figure the way it will fall away for the most part. If you look at a lot today the Off-Road racers in the area they run with out the boots for similar reasons. Plus they tend to fall apart after a while in the desert heat. If I still lived in the swamp I probably would have come to a different conclusion.

I inverted the shocks for similar reasons plus this protects them a bit more keeping the more vulnerable parts further up away from rocks and such.

I am sure there is plenty of debate to be had here and welcome it. This my logic on the decisions I made for my Xterra. Not really based on anything more than my own experiences.
