What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Installed a new radiator, hoses,t-stat, and alternator.
Come to find out that after everything was installed I was sold the wrong alternator.
Apparently in the early Toyota's they used 2 different types, one used a 5 pin voltage regulator and the other uses a 6 pin voltage regulator.
Neither one works with the other.
So now I have to pull it all back apart and now replace the alternator and voltage regulator because they both went bad.
So there's always something to do tomorrow.

2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ. Earlier this week I changed diff fluids, spark plugs and cleaned engine up a bit.
Reorganized my recovery box, tool box. Organized my camping gear in the rear and on the rack. Finally mounted my Fire Extinguisher. Strapped up my single man tent. And I painted my hood flat black to reduce light reflection from light bar.

Being last in line on our run to Poker Flat. Just kidding.
At one time my truck lived above the snow line where they used salt.

Got home after my QEI Course and started to take the jeep apart. Then my wife got home and said lets go out with the kids and eat. So you know what that means! Happy Wife Happy Life plus Jeep parts, can't complain on that. Lol

Got one of those bear stickers also. They look good!

Hit the trails with my brother and his X. The Subaru performed flawlessly on all sorts of trails and I have to say that X-mode is pretty awesome when you bolt the right tires to the car.
Had a wheel a lot higher several times but it was teetering on two on a steep decline here. Almost perfectly balanced.
"Brush" guard did its job today. Weight of the car against a rock and I thought for sure it was going to be more than gouges in the powdercoat.
Pin stripes galore. My car has a date with a buffer but had a great time getting out there and seeing how capable the car truly is.

New bumper and spare on back.
Took another pic of my Outer Limits Weekend Warrior first aid kit and added it to my build thread, and also added an item to the kit.
Updated picture from 8-27-2016, added some Celox to the kit, and showing how I organized my kit
Ordered some of that blood blocking stuff for wounds from Amazon.
Celox 2 GM package of 5
Added a few more patches today, just waiting on my member numbered Overland Bound patch to add when it arrives.
Waxed the rig Sunday of last week, and wiped it down this morning with Speed Shine, makes it look like it was just washed.
Also cleaned the whole interior.
Would have had a major mod to report today, but the shop I was at yesterday was so backlogged I ended up leaving and setup a new appointment for next Friday morning since I have had the day planned off for several months.
So stay tuned for next weekend...

We *finally* got the C4 Fabrication rock sliders mounted on my 4Runner. They look fantastic! I was #4 on the group buy, but they spent two months at my powder coat guy! Shoulda just had Caleb do them for the $25 I saved... Thanks to #ohio_hawk for the guidance and massive amount of help. It was 90 with 96 heat index while we did this!
