A day late but who cares. Went out to Sandstone canyon via Fish Creek wash in Anza Borrego for the first time. Went nice and early to beat the heat and glad I did because my AC was struggling to keep up by noon. Note to self: don’t go by yourself like me. Ended up getting stuck and had to get creative with a rock and my bottle jack. My Trooper impressed and did well in the tough and tight spots. Snuck by with no body damage. Definitely recommend you check this out if you’re in So Cal.

Hooked the bike up to the back of the 'Hoe and headed up to Clemson to hit some bike trails. After a mysterious bloody ankle and later almost passing out I decided that I'm not quite ready for that kind of trail yet. Guess it's paved trails for a little longer

Getting ready to install the following. Rear tailgate table, morryde hinges, rear cargo tray, vdp high clearance corners, daystar 2" lift, 1.25" wheel spacers, painting my stock wheels aev argent color. That's it for now. Oh, new led headlight bulbs in the pat.

Finished the sleeper platform
I used wooden pegs for the front and rear section so it can be disassembled when (my wife swears by this) we transport more people than her, I and the kid,v and we need access to the 2/3 rear seat
Ultimately that seat-section is going away, the space underneath converted to a lock box/luggage area

I have a smittybilt x20 10k with synthetic rope on order from 4wp but it’s been two weeks and I’ve heard nothing yet. Everything is taking three times as long due to the ‘rona panic.

And while I wait for the paint to cure (Brownells alumihyde takes about two weeks to fully cure) on the carrier and then for the winch to arrive I installed a Midland mxt275 in the center storage cubby. Except for the little antenna it’s completely hidden unless I take the handset out.

Just completed installing a Rough Country 12,000 lbs winch on the Silverado. I used the hidden winch mounting system from Rough Country. Life made simple!

Thanks, it was an all day project.
BTW nice truck! My 2002 was one of the best trucks I’ve owned.
Cheers!

Thanks Bud, it's been fun putting her together and modernizing her to some degree.

I painted and installed this rack I put together the other day. I dont have access to a welder so I pop riveted some aluminum together to make a mount for my awning. I think it came out great, and its very strong.
I also hung rear pads and I think I hit a personal best of 35 minutes.
I am sure some of the more professional backyard mechanics can do it quicker!
