What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

JCWages · Dec 5, 2018

I used it for work...

We used to have an '04 F250 V10 crewcab with a 4" lift as our work truck but it was huge and sucked gas to the tune of 9mpg. None of the office staff wanted to drive it and our lands stewardship team only drove it when they needed to tow or haul heavy loads. So we sold it and replaced it with a 2017 GMC Canyon SLE 4x4 like mine but dark grey. Now everyone uses the work truck so I'm still using my rig for work so I don't have to coordinate with everyone to use the work truck. lol There are definitely better rock crawler and overlanding platforms but for my lifestyle it's really tough to beat the utility of a midsized pickup. With an easy to remove rack system and RTT I can bolt on or remove accessories quickly and be ready for whatever life throws at me.

Started to redesign the back half of my build and took out the last top accessed storage compartment, now I’ve built a couple pull out drawers one for the camp stove and another to house the pots and pans. So now I won’t have all my kitchen sitting up on the roof rack [emoji1303] View attachment 78138 View attachment 78139 View attachment 78140 View attachment 78141 View attachment 78142 View attachment 78143 View attachment 78144

That's a really nice setup! I keep seeing these awesome drawer setups and its pushing me toward building a set for the X. Yours is one of the nicest I've seen! Where did you get the slides from?

Do you have a build thread that I could follow? If so can you post or message the link?

Hello! First post here! Today I installed new seat bushings for my passenger side Jeep TJ seat that are known for failing and causing problems. I also installed new door switches so my interior lights come on when the doors are opened.
Ill get my profile set up and going soon! Thanks!

Installed a Street Rays sway bar relocation bracket today. It's a nice kit for $27 on eBay. The bracket moved the sway bar down and forward. Now the sway bar sits at the stock angle and I'll have more tire clearance should I ditch the 1.25" wheel spacers for something thinner or new wheels.

Did a dump/thrift store run...

And figured out how to properly fold out the "bed" in the CR-V:

The last two days: cut off Evo rock sliders so I can install poison spyder rocker body panels. Drilled 42 holes for the nutserts/ mounting bolts. Had a few spin/not line up that great. Cut the bolt heads off and glued them in place. Then beefed up the sliders by sleeving them with 1.5”x .25” wall DOM tube going the length of the mounting tubes. Not my welds, beautiful nonetheless. Extended the sliders about a 1/2” for more of a step. And it snowed last night.

Turned my snow covered truck into a bird feeder. Clear underneath for sunflower and peanuts. Keeping the birds warm.

Really beautiful place. I like how you set up the shade for the Jeep. Doesn't seem to help the lady and the shot much but you have to have priorities right. [emoji6] [emoji106]

Did some exploration thru the Southern Arizona desert this past week. We found some really cool places to shack up for the nights we were out. Fun times.
