Installed some D ring mounts to the back where ill attach my tarp with a pair of carribeeners. I just have to fab up 4 3' poles and I'll have myself a nice tailgate trail shade.
What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Pulled some shrubs out to make room for a platform for my trash cans beside the house.
No problem at all for the truck of course, but I also pulled some old fence posts out of the ground and one flew into the back of the truck! [emoji32][emoji32] Could have come through the back glass if it didn't hit the tailgate first. Now I have a new dent on the top of the tailgate, but a new respect for things that are being pulled out of the ground. As they say, education is never free.
I am super lucky the dent is the only damage. Whew!

Finally installed the Genesis dual battery system today. Was an easy install actually....
Also changed out rear diff oil...front is tomorrow.
Swapped out the crappy ARB diff breather lines for 5/16" fuel line. Much better now and tougher. They should do that for the kit to begin with.

Lay a blanket across the middle of the line and that should keep it from flying.Pulled some shrubs out to make room for a platform for my trash cans beside the house.

Squeezed it into the back yard fence and used it to power my sawzall for a project.
High five for Factory inverter :-) good job yota.

So I installed a 2.5" lift when I first bought my jeep, then after installing the tire carrier and front bumper the added weight was making my tires rub when I would off road, but everything else was perfect, so I went up to 3" lift springs with a heavier spring weight last week, it fixed my rubbing but have me a death wobble and a drive shaft whine. So I replaced the track bar for a longer one and eliminated most of the death wobble and whine but not all of it. I think I need to adjust the toe on my alignment, it seems a bit toe out and the shop manual calls for a 20 degree toe in, I think this will fix the death wobble. Might need to swap the driv shaft or drop the transfer case to fix the whine. Can't believe .5" height difference is having this much of a knock on effect. I'm starting to feel like I'm just chasing my tail.

Finally got my CB antenna that I've been looking for. 5 footer. Picked up radio traffic miles away. Awesome!

I ordered a transfer case drop. Pretty annoyed by it, but if it fixes my vibrations and noise it will be worth. Of course I had to pick 4th of July weekend to order it so I won't see it until the middle of next week.

Traveler III
We drove to eastern Pennsylvania to drop our daughter off for summer camp, and did a little exploring in the area. We hiked a bit in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and at @Lipek suggestion, explored Worthingto State Forest. We found several miles of gravel roads to drive, and I finally got to put the new 4Runner into 4WD (not because I had to, but to make sure everything works as it is supposed to.)

Started to get my audio amp and CB antenna installed. Kind of scary to see it all apart like that.

Always love seeing a Subaru in its natural environment.
A downside to owning and modding an Outback is that few manufacturers actually make parts for the wagon and none of them are kept in stock. So while I continue to wait for my lift, bumper guard, and other parts I guess I'll just keep ordering haha. Ordered a #murderspork, a pulaski, and fourtreks dual mounts to attach them to my load warrior. While I was abusing my Amazon prime I also ordered the adventure medical comprehensive mountain series kit to keep in the car. I had wanted to get a better kit but after reading some of the threads here I decided to spend the extra money now for a complete kit.
