Added a DC/AC converter to go from my 24V system to 12V. It's 1800 watts of power. It plugs directly into the military slave cable port, auto shuts off if the batteries are getting low, and puts out good, clean power.

Just installed today. Just add sun, now. Check their site.
"1Derer" has one as well. Maybe he has some input.

After my ICON's started leaking, put back on stock front suspension.. Sits alot lower, but looks really good. Looking forward however to having them back as the ride is not nearly as smooth..

Another of those 5 minute (3 hour) jobs done. Rear carrier bearing replaced. Now I can get in the back of the Cruiser again [emoji2]

Fridge Monitors, Rotopax, & Awning 4-29-2017
Worked on a few things this morning.
Added some fridge monitors, lowered my Rotopax so they would clear the awning when deployed.

Wash & wax the truck and installed this awesome receiver tow point that MULE Expedition Outfitters had made for them!! Looks sharp and no doubt provides another 5-50 hpw!!!! [emoji33]
That, and rearranged my headliner patches -- got rid of "tactical" and went all Overland.....

My brother put together a video of our trip from a few weeks ago to Capital Reef NP. I think it turned out pretty good. Capital Reef is amazing. I can't wait to go again.
Got tired of my easy back oven, so I ventilated it

I went to a buddy's house who works at a large pipe company near by to scour the very large site for a 2x6 piece of steel to fabricate my rear bumper with.
No luck but on way back spotted a dirt road leading under a flood zone over pass.
Had to check it out and in doing so got to stretch the Ol Taco legs a bit.
But as I exited the quick side track of adventure to enter "civilization" again, wouldn't you know...my rig starts to complain to me...she didn't want to come out of 4 wheel drive.
After talking to her gently at first, I tried other approaches...I backed that thang up, I grabbed it and attempted to steer it in various directions, and played with her switches...nothing worked, blinking, resistance and complaining all the way home...
So after a few more attempts at coaxing her to submission in a local parking lot, I had to get under her belly to look at the actuator. Sure enough. Very nasty and unclean. Probably not supposed to look like this...certainly
no contact being made here...
Gooey with water inside the housing and all over the electrodes...
Rusty on the one area that were needing contact at the moment...
Also noticed her hose was flaring...
Two beers later, hose trimmed, chrome polished, and the contact seemed good....
Another beer, tested the status, and sure enough she was happy and disengaged... win!
