I installed a pendaliner, hood deflector, sidesteps and undercoated the floor pan on the rig. Also bedlined the light pods and wired pigtails to them, getting ready for reinstall.

Getting ready to install new winter boots on the pat, plus some maintenance items that need to be taken care of again. This spring, there will be some new goodies coming for it FINALLY. Can't wait to get it all sorted.

Went Cub Scout camping. Was a brisk 21f for a low Saturday early morning. Had to cut short due to my son developing a roaring head cold but even he said he had fun and wants to do winter camping again!

I redid my breaks. New rotors on the front, drums on the back, pads and shoes, a spring kit and new studs to mate the rotors and hubs.

No pictures yet… I just started installing my ICOM IC7100 into the adventure machine last night… I have it working on UHF/VHF. Next is to install my tuner and see if I can get the HF side of things to work before I finish the rest of the install.

Probably Thursday. I also have to find a mounting solution for the head unit… I have two ideas that I’m playing with at the moment… just need to see which one works the best

That's what I was most interested in. It's a bit of an odd base for a mobile if I recall correctly?

Yes it is… but it makes for a cleaner install if done right

Ok I’ll give that a look. Last time I checked there wasn’t much, but that was before I got my license.
