Have a Pozo Martini for me!

It's funny how our rigs are paralleling each other. I guess a Jeeper and a Toyota nerd are gonna do the Subaru thing in a very specific way. I was just thinking about reaching out to you, now that we're getting some rainfall, I'm hoping to take my daughters up to the Knoxville-Berryessa OHV...

I like the radio cubby. Did you build your own sound system?

Next up, I'm adding lighting and charging to the interior trim on the liftgate. This was something that I'd wanted to do to the fleet cars when I worked at a big Home Inspection firm, the extra lighting inside the liftgate for grabbing or putting away tools or getting changed into boiler suits...

Major progress recently, and almost no photos to back it up! After deciding that 1" of lift wasn't enough for my purposes, I'd decided to add in an extra 2" lift kit with subframe drop brackets from ADF as well and extended travel front axles from NAPA. While we had it apart, I replaced the...

My most recent mod: I've roughed in some jerrycan holders for a JK using L-tracks and rivnuts. They still need some adjustment, and I want at least two through-bolts per track that goes through all layers of sheet metal and are braced with washers and locknuts. The proof of concept definitely...

I'd also scored a cheapie tailgate tent that hangs off the liftgate. I'll take my daughters to the beach on my weekends and we'll just pop the tent up and chill in the back. It's really fun. The tent didn't ship with guywires or pegs, so that's why it looks so deflated here.

I also built a custom radio panel for my homebrew sound system.

I've been tinkering constantly, but I'm horrible at documenting my work so I thought that I'd just dump a bunch of updates on this thing. I got tired of the fake burl wood interior so I pulled the panels, scuffed them, and short them with Rust Oleum Hammertone finish. The cutout is for a...

Thanks. All of my end links are hashed, so I might just toss 'em and try it, but keep the sway bars on in case I want them back on.

Those King springs are a game changer. I'm currently running them with a 1" spacer lift. My DR swaybar link keeps ejecting nuts, so I think that when I overhaul my suspension this month, I'll probably just chuck the sway bars altogether. How do you like it with the Kings and now sway bars? How...

Running a bit late, the kids delayed me a bit.

I'll be there, and I'm kinda hoping that it's raining because I love geology. I may or may not have my chaos goblins with me.

It mounts up in the little coin tray in the fuse box door in the dash. It's a really clever design, even if it's too narrow for our generation outback.

That sounds badass! I love that it came around full circle!
