What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[RoarinRow]

Replaced my older phone mount with a Qi wireless charger mount from Pro Clip. The previous mount was limiting how big a phone I could mount. Each year or couple years my phone has only gotten bigger/taller.

Also replaced my license plate holder attached to my Wilco hitch tire carrier. Didn’t like the LED bulbs/bolts I had previously. This has the LED light built into frame. Feels more solid of an install.

Quality of life improvements. Replaced cheap Walmart topper with the one off my bed. Tent barely closes with sleeping bags and pillows now, though it also barely closed before. Big thing I like about fiberglass RTTs: they can flex. Will be camping tonight to test it out

Yesterday I got the windows tinted!

That looks cool. Where i live were not allowed to tint the front side windows. But that looks sharp. I like it.

Thanks! This window tint percentage is illegal here where I live near San Francisco, but I’ve had all my vehicles tinted without any hassle from law enforcement. This particular tint is 5% but legal tint allowed here is 70% on the front windows. If I do get pulled over it’s a “fix-it” ticket and a small fine.

Installed a twin stick kit in the CJ5. JB Customs. Initially I only had 2wd, 4wd HI, 2wd Lo, but was locked out of 4 low. A call to their customer service people and they explained that on some of the short clocked twin stick shifters the factory mount would be slightly taller than others and the shifter channels would run out of travel before the interlock pills would clear for 4low. 20 minutes later I had it fixed after pulling the shifters and using the die grinder to elongate the channels a little bit. Threw it all back together and have a great slop free t-case shifter. The overly complex single stick linkage is waiting to go in the scrap pile.

Put new rear rotors and brakes on the Jeep.

Replaced fog light HIDs to LEDs. Thought I had a problem with the ballast. Got LEDs then Googled my problem. Turned out to be a popped fused so I pulled out HID fog kit for nothing. Oh well LED bulbs in amber still looks good just doesn’t have the power output (I think) of HIDs.

counting the days until my incandescent bulbs burn out so I can change out to LEDs without feeling overly wasteful...

I'm very wasteful lol. I'm sure I already have some LED bulbs around, was just too lazy to find them.

I probably would just not have been able to find them, bought new ones, installed them, and then found the ones I already had, then put those away somewhere "safe" so I'd remember, and then repeated the process a few years down the road.

Haha I too have many 'safe' places lol.

Must be a common problem. I have the same one

Ha ha, I know the problem too well. A few years ago, the following happened to me. I needed a riveting pliers while working on the Landy. Yes well, I have one. But not found at that moment. So I bought a new one. Immediately afterwards, the other one appeared again, of course. So I had two. And then a few weeks later the same game. I didn't find either of them, so bought another one. Now you know why I have three riveting pliers... yes, the "safe" places.

My father has a similar problem, which explains how my brother and I come by some of the tools we own...Dad ends up with 3 and then gives us one each. hell, I've ended up with 2 chainsaws because he can't find the other ones.

I put a new winch on my Sierra. I waited for a while for the RC hidden winch and they finally came out (about a year ago). Very well built and not too bad to install. There is some cutting and drilling to do but it can be done with a cutoff wheel if that’s all you have access to. I’m very pleased with the outcome. One other note is that the supplied bolts for the fair lead is not long enough. You’ll need M12x1.75x80 to bolt it on. Fun to find out on the last step.

After seeing the quality of their sliders, I ordered and installed the RCI engine skid plate. I can't say enough about the quality of their products.

Tire Rotation

 

[DaJudge]

Installed a PSC steering box. Considering I have been using it offroad since I got (bigger tires, lifted, etc); I figure i did pretty good getting 16 years out of the OEM one. (20 if you count the street driving it did before I bought it.
No pics, it's a steering box!
