Finished the rear seat platform/storage. Still need to install dividers but this will house an inverter, 18v air compressor, battery charger, recovery gear and emergency items. Also a flat spot for the Labrador to ride!

Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Finally mounted my battery with out a bungee cord lol. Found this cool mount plate on Amazon that clamps the optimas by the bottom flanges. Worked really well, billet aluminum, $48.

Finally spent the time and started building my switch control panel in the bronco tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll trim out the plastic bezel and make some filler panels.

I installed Airlift 1000 air bags today on my Mojave. Took about 90 minutes with a second set of hands. We did not remove the springs and it went pretty well overall. At 10psi the bed just started to lift a little. I have a long 800 mile trip tomorrow so I'm going to leave it like that to see how it rides.
I have a bed rack and fridge/slide totaling about 270 lbs in/on the bed right now.
Heading to the mountains to camp in May so I'll bump up the pressure and test off road then.
If you're considering these, don't let the install scare you.

Towed my kid's first rig home...'97 Ford Explorer with only 99k miles. Paid $1250. Only issue mechanically is fuel pump...that should run us $65 and a couple hours of work. Then we'll start on some cosmetic and interior issues and the fun stuff...lift, tires, brush guard, etc.
The real question though...do I dare call it Chuck Jr? If it was a Blazer or Jimmy it'd be a no-brainer. But the Ford gives me pause...

I'm running a 95 Explorer. It has been a very capable rig. Even better with the latest mods. Just don't expect to find much "bolt-On" parts. If you like to fab, this is the platform LOL.
