What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

Last rig item I purchased would be JL taser Lite. Still waiting for it to arrive.

Next on my list would be the Dji mavic mini and/or the Rugged Ridge Snorkel for the JL.

After years of sloshing ice and soggy food I finally bought a Dometic CFX3 55. A bit larger than I probably needed since the lack of ice frees up a lot of space, but I didn't want the hinge on the short side.

Next up will probably be a deep cycle battery so I can ensure it won't shut off so quickly. The safety mechanism seems to turn it off within an hour or so with the stock 4Runner battery.

Last thing was a Comet SBB-1 antenna for use in groups. Still keep the CA2X4SR behind the seat for when I need the range but otherwise, the shorter antenna should be better for avoiding damage through the trees.

Next thing is rock rails... yet another Rubicon take-off someone is selling for cheap but they're enough to let me get out on the trails now.

I have been camping out of the off road trailer and not using the other gear lately. We went for 5 days in the drift boat for the first time since last summer. Found out it was time for some gear upgrades - the old Coleman camp stove finally gave up the ghost, the left burner no longer shuts off and you can't adjust the flame and my 15 year old Therm a Rest leaks at the seam. So today:

A new Camp Chef Everest 2X and Therm a Rest Basecamp are on the way.

I need to purchase a Flywheel, starter, clutch, and driveshafts... maybe some other goodies as well...
 
Last thing I bought? Does a 2018 Tacoma TRD Offroad count? :) yes since this is a newish truck I have had less than a week, I have not bought much else recently... I still have to pull things off my old Ranger and see what is compatible and what is not. Then I have to look at what parts on my list are in budget and what my shopping priority should be. I want to get protection items (from seat covers to skid plates) first then functional parts, then look good parts. I also have a LOT of DIY projects planned for the truck. if I have the ability to build it, I can usualy make it better (or at least better suited to my wishes) than the stuff I find commercially, and often at a third the price.

Couldn't wait! Headed to home Depot for a 1 inch holesaw to knock yet another hole in the firewall.... What dummy puts giant connectors on a wire that's gotta cross walls.... Oh well! Loving the setup!20200608_185028.jpg20200608_185238.jpg

if you already have a gromet available, you might want to cut the connector off and reattach it instead of drilling another hole in the firewall, but since I can not see where you are trying to get a wire through, it is just a thought. that said... what model vehicle is that... looks like a van, but I have not seen a van configured like that before (I also have not looked at van interiors in a LONG time)

I don't know how to crimp the uhf connector so I just knocked a 3/4 hole in the firewall and finished it with a grommet.

It's a Honda Element! Super super giant empty box inside! Aerodynamics of a box outside!

Crimping the wires went hard... it’s having the correct tool for the job... punching the hole was probably your best bet... I love your interior btw.

Yeah... it tends to take crimping tools that are not so common at the home improvement store... I always bought solder on connectors when i was building antennas or installing my 706. I got lucky with my last Ranger. There was a HUGE grommet in the back so I was able to remote mount the head on the dash, the body behind the seat, and run power under the carpet and antenna between the cab and the bed. but I also spent the last few years inactive, and do not even know if my 706 still works, much less what I plan to do to mount it in my new Tacoma. I mean it would be a great excuse to get a 7100, but that $1500 would be better spent on a set of skid plates for the taco :)
