I have 4 tabs welded to the bottom inside, and some access holes on top. Problem is there is no room at the windshield and in front the tabs are off a inch...lmao. So.............might have to reweld the tabs up front, and use a thumb wheel (which works) on the windshield. Design flaws are my speciatity...ahahahahahha. Oh, and screws into the plastic tray of the dash, so perminate scars. Always throw a rubber pad in there and call it good, but I'm keeping the truck until they offer me 7K more than I paid for it, like the Tacoma I just sold...lol

Got a fender painted on my one day off. Hope to get some more knocked out tomorrow but we're looking down the barrel of 4 days of rain so probably not.
Added a CJC intercooler guard a couple of days ago. Got rid of the factory air dam before I knocked off on the trails.

New Tires. They still haven't gotten the TPMS to sync but for now I know they are holding air. Will go back another day.

I helped put a new top on @Hattyz's JKU. And finally wired my radio up to the trigger controller.

Jump started it because I accidentally left the CB radio just barely in the on position, and sometime during my three weeks in hospital, the battery went flat as a pancake lol It started up first try and I drove around for about an hour and a half, so hopefully all good now.

I walked in front of the rig with a flashlight for the better part of 20 miles in the middle of the night on a dirt road in Big Bend. It was Oct so the weather was perfect for a walk in the park. We got back to base camp around 2 AM. Got up to kayak the river the next day, just epic. The day before we learned about having fix a flat, tire patches and better comms with two flats on the river road. Over all it was about four days of fun and $1.5k of upgrades and tires after. LOL wheel with what you have, so you learn what you need. We had maps, plenty of food, water and humor to spare!...uh oh...sounds expensive...

Thank you, kindly! It was great to get out for a little drive. Also, I was greatly relieved that the battery seems to be none the worse for wear, as it's an almost brand new AGM. I really wasn't looking forward to replacing it.
