I just got the X less than two months ago and have plenty more planned for it. I plan to upgrade the suspension next, then will outfit it with a better front bumper, full skids and a rear bumper with a tire carrier. The build has officially begun ... stay tuned!

Talked (to myself) and researched my house battery/solar/shore setup/needs/wishes. More questions than answers at this point, but ya gotta start somewhere, right?

The X sans any mods (except the removal of the mud flaps) ...

Constructed a removable, leveling acrylic cutting board platform for the 50 qt in the Jeep. I am not able to permanently mount the fridge, and Grand Cherokees are not exactly spacious. Fridge is strapped forward, giving easy access to contents behind the rear seat, when needed. Should work well.

No time ... it would take me a month to find the time to do these things ... it was worth it to just get it all done at once.

The rear Pinion Race basically fell out when Joe went to remove it (it's supposed to be a press fit), plus the housing appeared to be slightly bent, so I took it to a machine shop to have it brought back to spec. AND, since we have it all apart, I ordered the rear adjustable control arms from Rubicon Express (to match the fronts).

Bummer. But good find, now, not in some very remote location later. [emoji482]
Out with the old Voyager Sliders (they are good, but rust and dont protect the air compressor or tank, they don't go inward all the way past the frame rails).... and in with the new "Tactical 4x4" LR4 Sliders! (I also continue my quest to clone the @finlayforprez and @gulfstreamchris LR4 rigs.)
They are white because I had them coated by zincnation.com which is some type of aluminized spray metal coating. I will get them powder coated satin black.

Left 4 kids behind and took the 3 week old with us on our 7th wedding anniversary adventures! Took a nice ride on our bikes and enjoyed the beautiful state park scenery at Round Valley, NJ.

Took the VagabondExpedition Jeep on a brief storm chase in Edmonton Alberta.
Decided to give a quick run down on my dash layout as setup for storm chasing. I'll do a more detailed video on this setup and how it all works and ties in with my cameras a bit later on.
