While not installed today, the last notable upgrades was the front recovery points and 2in receiver. Hi-Lift jack mounts for the rear roof rack and a new set of Duratrac tires.
What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Installed my door sill protection plates.
When I bought the vehicle these areas needed to be re sprayed

Oh and this is to remind me that I have a Land Rover. I want just blank plates

Took the afternoon off and took my Xterra out in the desert so it could turn 150k in a proper way. In the dirt and in 4 wheel drive.
May sound sappy bit all 150k are mine as well as the dents and AZ pinstripes.

Congrats! I love the look of those Xterra's. Here's hoping you make 150,000 more and then some!

I added cup holders to my 80 series Land Cruiser, installed new rear lift gate struts, and changed the oil.
Went on the mistletoe run, Pisgah forest. Some snow, mostly mud.
I found some compacted snow drifts and got grounded out. Even the extra secret extended high lift mode didn’t get me out. Right away.
And now the height of the secret mode.

Went for a run through the foothills and came up to Long View Alberta and the whole town done there Xmas lights. This was in there centre.

Played around with some chalk. Just a quick test of tire pressure with the P285/70/17 Wildpeaks. General knowledge says that with a tire that has a lot more air capacity than the oem tire (255/65/17) may require less air pressure. So at 36psi-35psi (measured with a good gauge) I chalked the tire tread and drove back and forth on my driveway and then checked where the chalk had rubbed off. The fronts wore more evenly than the rears but still showed evidence of overinflation, particularly the passenger side front. The rears showed even more of the chalk still showing on the edges of the tires and were clearly overinflated. I'll do more testing when I have time but for now I felt ok with dropping the pressure back down to F33/R30 where I had it before the dealer raised it back up to placard levels (35psi).
Front Driver side was fairly close to evenly worn but the edges still showed more chalk. The photo makes the wear look more even than what I see in person.

I have a few posts about the front section but haven’t done a single all info one yet. May do a. Quick video of the layout soon
I've had 7" light bars mounted on my roofrack for a while now. 1 on each side and 1 over the rear door. Today they finally got wired up.
Used the ol' through the roofrack bolt hole trick and a liberal application of silicone.
The wires from the front meet the wires from outside under a conveniently placed random plastic piece.
Room for 1 more wire if i go down a gauge. Maybe future front bar? Ran a second wire all the way back just in case.

No pictures but spent 4 hours trying to find out why the ECM had no communication after installing a switch. Turned out the main CAN BUS wires in the main harness snapped. That's what I get for trying to wire my lights the right way...

Doesn't that reduce the integrity of the rackk? Just thinking out loud here.[emoji848]
Maybe a bit, but its 1 out of 12 bolts and i barely ever put anything up there. I can and will move it to a roof gromet if it ever causes an issue. Seems many others have rocked this without a prkblem. Some even with rtts.
