Just bought a bed liner because it’s a cheap fix for the rust holes in my arches. I need to buy metal so I can get some rock sliders built.

I just purchased an Artec Industries front bumper and lower control arm skids. Of course I couldn't install it without a winch so I added a 9500# Comeup winch and Factor 55 flatlink E. I really enjoy how everything blinds in like it could have been factory equipment.

What kind of vehicle did you put it on.

Just ordered a 2nd set of ORCISH Recovery Boards off E-Bay. The sale price was great, and on this 2nd pair I put in a bid instead, which was accepted for $65.00 with free shipping.
I've been looking at the same ones. For as few times I actually go somewhere I may get stuck (beach mostly), I can't justify the price of the Max. I'll never use them as a bridge or any other extreme situation, so as long as they hold up on in the sand, I'm fine.

Picked up a transmission mount to add to the pile of maintenance parts for the wifes Sierra while my JKU got an oil change and a new PCV valve.

Hoping the new front springs for the Sierra's coilovers get here this week...

We have 2. One old and one kinda recent. They work forever.
For a wedding gift my wife gave me one of the Coleman grill/stove units and its been very solid in the almost 10yrs we've had it. Its been on a lot of trips and camp outs! I'd like to have something with two burners but the one we have with a griddle works well enough and haven't seen a reason to get something else.

High pressure side AC hose. It's only hot hot for about 2 months out of the year in Idaho, but we're in it now and no AC is terrible. One day I'll get done with the maintenance on the truck and built out some cool drawers or something.
Glad you got the a/c fixed and out of the way, it is needed in this heat. What kind of a rig do you have and what are your plans for the interior build. Will you be sleeping in it or using a tent or other means of shelter. Post us some pictures as you go along on your build.

Installed the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform and got in the FSR Adventure Series hardshell tent last week. Had to come up with a good way to mount it to the Platform since the mounting rails of the FSR just didn’t mate up well at all to the Platform.

Everything came out great, and I absolutely love this setup. It’s so much easier to set up. And I can’t even tell the rack and tent is up there. Super quiet!

Very nice, super clean. What's the accessory rack over the spare?

Thanks @Tupenny ! It's the Smittybilt rack, with a Fuelpax/Rotopax mount I attached on the drivers side of the rack, and a Hi-Lift base that's also attached through one of the existing holes in the rack. It's perfect for hauling fire wood!

It's a 2004 nissan frontier, crew cab with the 6ft bed. I've got a century shell on the back, but two people and a big dog make sleeping in there an exercise in claustrophobia. I may sleep in there when it's just me, but right now we just use the ground tent. I plan to build a set of side by side bed drawers where one can convert to a mountain bike slide for times I have my bike. I don't want to put a hitch mounted rack on because this truck is long enough already. I'll probably start a build thread when I get to building the drawers and some other more overland-y mods. Next step though is replacing the two front catalytic converters. That *should* be the last large maintenance/repair item before she's long road trip worthy.
