Got a little upgrade install party this weekend with the boy on the jeep!!! 2 out of the 4 parts have come in already and hopefully the rest comes this Friday. I wanted to upgrade the jeep battery with the dual battery genesis kit, for two odyssey batteries, and picked up the snomaster CL56D dual zone fridge/freezer. This is definitely going to be a game changer for the jeep and for us as well! will most likely be redoing my rear storage set up to accommodate the fridge better

Got my rusted front bumper off and got it sand blasted. It’s getting powder coated now.

I finally got around to putting on new shoes. After alot of research I found that there are alot of great tires out there and you just have to jump in. I went with General Grabber A/Tx. So far I really enjoy the ride over my big mudders I took off and the mileage gain is a plus also. We shall see when winter comes and mountain slop.

I installed AutoSpring 1" - 1.5" add-a-leafs. With the weight of our camping gear and bikes the rear of the truck would sag enough to aim my headlights too high and I got tired of adjusting them everytime we went camping. The payload on this truck is the highest in its class but you still lose a couple of inches in height when loaded down.

The AALs "increase load capacity" by 750lbs so while that doesn't increase my total load capacity (1,528lbs), it will help reduce the squatting when under load.

I left the 1" Silverado lift blocks in to see how much rake I'd have. They are easy to remove if I don't like the look. With the RTT, rack and traction boards there's a decent amount of rake and I'm ok with that. I prefer some rake to no rake but we'll see how much the rear comes up without the RTT mounted. Now if I could only stomach the idea of getting new UCAs and lift the front a little more, then larger tires....

With about 220lbs or so on the rear. Camping gear and bikes adds about 300lbs or more.

Now lift the front. There's no going back. ;)

Haha tell me about it. The front is actually lifted 2.7" already. Ground to fender is 38.5". With the back end up it makes the front look stock.

One of the things I love about my area of Arizona is I am a block off the Colorado river, surrounded by mountains and trails, Kingman is 30-40 minutes away and the Hualapai Mountains are maybe an hour, decided to take a few trails into the Haulapais, light 4x4 ing and enjoy the 6800 ft elevation:

Rachel and I replaced both O2 sensors this afternoon after it threw a code on and off since we got the truck a couple of months ago... I broke one O2 sensor bolt off...

Going to have to take a trip to the muffler shop next week.

Today I added an anti-hydrolock system to Red Five... AKA a snorkel.

My Hi Lift Jack is mounted passenger side, Axe & Shovel are mounted on drivers side inside bed over wheel wells under bed cover (for security).

Installed bed rack and aired out RTT

Still waiting on RotopaX 4gal fuel cell and 2 Two gal white water cells to mount on bed rack.

Updated DIY Road Shower today....added 12v mini pump and QD multi function shower head
