We were amazed at how much snow there still was up high in the Sierras earlier this month. I haven't been to Silverton since April, but I know they're still clearing out the passes there and some of the roads aren't even going to open this year from the avalanche debris. Hoping to get down there in late August... there will probably still be snow.

I can't wait for the snow to come back. :) It's supposed to be in the 100s this weekend now. :(

I got my winch wired up this evening after work. It's operational now but I need to make a mounting bracket to hold the control box. I found a nice spot for it that will keep the wireless on/off switch and the connection for the wired input up front and easy to access. I was worked after connecting the wires to the back of the winch without removing the winch from the cradle so I had to call it a day. Zip ties will hold the controller for now. lol
I'll make a bracket and mount the controller box right here.

$30 on Amazon. They are well built and have an adjustable strap to fit short, as well as tall, cans.
My cans fit well. Snug enough to need to push them in, but not too tight that they scrape. Drove them to/from work this week and they did not move or rattle. We'll see about rough roads. The holders come with rubber isolaters, which are not the best, but do well enough. Everyone recommends (me included) to glue them in place as soon as you get them as they tend to fall off otherwise.

Well this happened. @Firemom and I installed our dual battery system and Redarc BCDC 1225D DCDC to DC charger yesterday. Fairly easy install, had to make our own mount for the Redarc charger. Used a C4 Fabrication dual battery tray and got the battery at Sears, but everything else was picked up on Amazon. Built the entire set-up for under $900.00

Over the past weekend I relocated my front axle 1” forward to fit 37’s. Full details can be found here. 80 Series, moving axle forward?
End result.
