Your Roof Basket looks great! I really need to start welding. You have a good looking rig.

Ligths......

Some led DRL in conjunction with the ignition - turn the key on, they-re on.

Rear led light

And a "cheap" chinese led bar - dont waste your money with them - after a year, several leds have died.

It works pretty well, but with the use, and after I built a tool box tha goes on it I´ve had to reinforce it. But still working

Thank you.
As my daily driving vehicle, some upgrades takes time, but besides the excessive fuel consumption, is a very dependable SUV.
I will keep uptating untill reach the actual configuration.

Best from Brazil

After replace the valve lifters, my car has started with some backfire than the heads came out, valves are serviced and a new camshaft was needed.

Thank you.

Kids are the next keeping good experiences alive.

I truly believe that we can have fun with our families together

when you put a heavy constant load on your roof rack, you can have some problems as I had with the box on the roof rack

during a short trip, one of the roof rack suports just broke appart, under the heavy box

So I made a temporary repair just to finish the trip

Back home we did it properly

Naked

Other supports are broken, so we did an extra reinforcement on each one

A new supprt was made and we added extra two per side

Dressed again and ready to rock!
