The last thing I bought, besides my new rig and a whole bunch of replacement parts, was a half-decent air pump for the tires.

I think the Dometic is going to be the next big purchase. I have my first "overland" trip in the new rig coming up in November, and the Dometic is the only luxury thing I would really like before then.

Not nearly as exciting as most of the rest of the stuff here, but I got a ZJ windshield washer fluid bottle to retrofit into my WJ. The WJ has the bottle down in the front bumper, and I hit the pumps and wiring when flexing offroad. The ZJ unit will fit up under the hood and accept the stock pumps, sensor, etc.

Yeah, that's what I use to tell my wife when she gave me the stink eye with raised eyebrow !
Too bad about your Jeep, very glad that is all you lost. By the looks of the jeep it must have been pretty severe accident. I lost my Lincoln 5 years ago this month.
Yes, injuries and recovery for the most part. The Lincoln was totalled when I was T boned. I wouldnt be here today if it had happened in my Ford Escape.

Yeah if I had been in the explorer I don’t know where we would be. I was just sitting at a red light waiting for it to change next thing I know I am looking at some guy in a uniform asking if I am okay. Apparently the kid that hit me just wasn’t paying attention hit me doing 45 mph. My wife is to the point of sending my daughters with me whenever I go out so I don’t go buy more stuff and if the trip involves the hardware store I get to take cash only LOL.

It arrived this week, but I haven't had a chance to put it in yet. I might get to it tomorrow, but I'm going out to Tamarack Lake Sun-Mon so I might not. I'll update my thread when I do the swap so you'll know if it's the right one and fits.

Bought some ActionTrax boards a couple weeks ago and just got around to building the mounts for my rack. Installing today once the rain lets up. Bought some webbing to make my own leashes for the ActionTrax, so I'll sew those up maybe tonight. I plan on buying RAM Mounts parts for my iPad nav setup (assuming it works as desired this weekend).

Which Gazelle did you buy ? My wish list isn't filled yet either. I like to pay as I go but it's hard with many item's being soooooo expensive. On top of that every time I buy something, something else goes on my list. I consider my list must have items not want items. LOL

I purchased the T3 Gazelle since it will be primarily for me and my wife. It is hard, as you definitely can go crazy buying products. I just start with the primary needs and leave the wants for a later date.

Complete exhaust system just purchased from eBay... it's gonna last 4 years, just as the last one did. No doubt a rock or big log will end it's life prematurely.
..and a pair of rock sliders/impact bars from a well known ( in VW T3 circles) guy in Scotland. These things are manly, not the girly polished things.
They even have hi-lift jack anti-slip points built in.
Edit:
Almost forgot the jeep hi-lift jack mounts I bought, Gonna attach these high up on the drivers (UK) side of the van to a new rack I'm having fabricated :-)
This is almost like christmas presents to myself :-)

Ordered a Add A Leaf kit for my lift. I notice a one inch sag in the rear. Could be an issue with Pro Comp or rear is just heavier now with hitch tire carrier etc. I measured distance from top of tire to bottom of wheel well.

Very nice rig. If the spare tire lowered it 1" then your loaded weight will bring it down quite a bit more. Overload is in order me thinks. :<)
