I found that my suspension has a huge issue. I have a recall that was not dealt with by previous owner. Structure on driverside. Rusting out and separating.

Added CB mount for antenna that is now 5 days overdue. But I'm ready when it gets here, new CB and all the fixings. Also Plasti dipped all the chrome white, grille, emblems and back bumper. Black plastic dipped the wheels. I hear that it protects against scratches for offroading as well. First things done were touch screen radio with back up or anytime camera. Also steps, I'm short, but do not have a need for rock sliders at the moment.
Before and after.

Clean up from Quarantine Jailbreak #2 (a fictional story of isolating in real isolation)
Returned from an alleged 3 day camping trip last night. I did put up another post on the trip planning forum "Nat'l Forest Rd 81" report or something like that. It's allegedly still below freezing in the wee hours at altitude in the Sierra Nevada by the way, and the high country roads and trails snow is still a problem.
Today vacuumed all the wood gathering debris out of the carpet. Also had a tire patched that got a screw on the trail (go figure... allegedly way out in the middle of nowhere and get a screw in the tire).
Fixed gear as I put it away. Coleman stove had a mystery rich burner. Found and removed a wad of spider web from the mix tube. Modified main upright poles for my Kodiak 8x9 tent (a known complaint, the locking mechanism stripped out and we allegedly had to use a stick carved as a wedge and a hose clamp to hold it together under tension). Replaced very cheap hardware with standard hardware today. Added an eye bolt for a tie down or foot peg to help in setting up the poles. If you have this tent you know what a PITA the system is.
Also the cooling mod did ok, I think I finally have a happly set point for the electric fan controller. Never hit 210 degrees, bounced between 195 and just below 210. And if you decide to make an alleged trip, we allegedly packed everything inside the WJ behind tinted windows with nothing on the roof, and wore collared shirts and such and looked like we were headed to work as we allegedly broke the blockade and allegedly drove all over the Sierra National Forest.
Some pics for the fun of it. Photo shopped of course. PS, the Ranger station in Prather had a notice that you are welcome to cut as much wood as you want without a permit since they are closed. Since wood is essential for heating your house- work the math.

Quick late afternoon install completion. Wired the LP9s to the sPod. Took all of 15 minutes, including chopping up the Baja Designs harness. Gotta love sPod.
Roadtest to follow.

Didn't do it myself as I don't have proper tools and knowhow.
I got a small lift installed.

Finally got the final piece of my dual battery mod, which was the isolator. Done for now.
Next step re-run some accessories to the aux battery.

Looks like you have same isolator I installed in my LR5! Works like a champ.
