What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

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!

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.
