What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Converted my Metalcloak 2.5" Overland Elite w/Rocksport shocks into a Metalcloak 2.5" Gamechanger lift today by adding all 8 control arms, moving the sway bar back up to where its factory position is, adding the longer rear sway bar link and extending the rear brake lines. It drove great before, but now it drives awesome. Can't wait to see how well it will flex now that I'm rid of the factory arms and now have the Duroflex bushings.

Raptor lined the rocker panels of the Yukon. Paint was wearing through and starting to rust. Sanded her down, and sprayed her. Maches the black so well you almost can even tell.

The trailer got an up graded battery as well. AGM sealed and designed for solar useage, should get some good power out of this one.IMG_20180630_074545304_HDR.jpegIMG_20180630_074558417.jpegIMG_20180630_095502661_HDR.jpegIMG_20180630_113351754_HDR.jpeg

I am seriously considering doing one of those for my tundra. How do you like it?

I think it's great so far... I can get a lot closer in my garage without bashing my license plate :) I'm still waiting to see how well it works on the trail but I feel like any added visibility is a bonus.
 
It's not what I did to my Rig today but what I did FOR my Rig today.
I finally ordered the Slimline front bumper with lights and winch, Rocksliders, and the new TrailGater bumper. All from SSO.
The sad part is now the waiting. [emoji849][emoji41]

^^^ Nice Joey! Pretty sure I picked up a few today myself, but it was raining when I got home, so didn't bother looking. Price of exploring and having fun.

Took a quick Independence Day run with my daughter through Ocala National Forest while Mom and brother took a nap. We spotted seven deer and had a great time, as usual. Sorry, didn't take a single pic.

Worked on my Autohome Maggiolina Airlander roof top tent to fix a few things before vacation next month.

Shoe holder is a great idea. We usually stick our shoes in a bag and take them in the Maggi. Got to check that out.

I have used a cinch bag/stuff sack before and kept it in the tent, but it is just one more item besides the duffel bags to get in the way.
I think I will like the shoe holder, but I am going to have to modify it to stay closed at the top.

Today I loaded up the rig some more for vacation next month, not much left to load really, just the dry food box, stove, solar panel, dufflebag, and load the fridge and freezer.

Also tested out my Overland Solar 120 watt solar panel I bought after Christmas, and I am very impressed with it.
It is overcast here, and it had my auxiliary Optima Redtop battery up to 14.3-4v in no time from around 12.5v.
His panels are famous for gathering in more usable sunlight.

Vacation is getting close, cannot wait to get out for a whole week and test out a lot of new gear since my vacation last year.
