The Gazelle tents are cool (I've seen them up close), but when folded, they are almost six feet long! That won't fit in my trailer or my Jeep.

Yup, that's a roof rack item for anyone with a SUV or pick up rack. I'd buy a T4 except I would need a crane to get it on my roof or a gorilla to put it in my LRD2.

Luckily not there yet, switched out my alt a couple weeks back and changed up serpentine belt that's when I noticed it was a lil loose, only a very faint whine right now, but the idle shivers suck
Last thing I bought was a snorkel and pre-cleamer. Mainly trying to keep the air filter clean. On the last two Death Valley trips my check engine light came on due to the air filter getting clogged and IAT sensor getting dirty. Also, changed spakplugs and wires. The pre-cleaner is not shown in picture, my plan is to only use it while off road.

I'm not at that point yet but down the road I want one just for the cleaner air. I wont be going fishing in my rig for sure. I don't know if I'm brave enough to be cutting holes in my fenders but the videos make it look easy enough if you hold your tongue right.

Just added a snorkel - 5hr install - before, during and after.

By pre cleaner do you mean the cyclonic head or do you mean the unifilter droopies that go in the snorkel head? I run unifilter droopies on the head and a k&n in the air box my k&n never sees dirt thanks to droopies and if you carry multiple you can just switch em out when they start clogging. This is a droopie if you dont know.

Nice another colorado ready for scuba. Dont forget to seal all of your electronics. I used marine amazing goop for mine but regular silicone would be fine also run all diff,trans, fuel tranfer case vents into the airbox.

Mainly for dust on the trail. I have a predicted coming. My air box gets pretty dirty so this was recommended to me. Besides, I like cutting up a perfectly fine truck whenever there’s an excuse to do so. Will look at waterproofing and vent mods you noted. Didn’t consider that. Thanks!

Its only required if your doing heavy water crossings a quick shot through water youd be fine at most youd need to change fluids after. Look into pre filters the snorkel will suck a little less dust not much though, you will however be trading sucking in dust for bugs and leaves. my wife even managed to knick a bird, there were some feathers in the droopie filter last time i swapped em out and lots of sand from our thanksgiving beach trip. If you do go the rout of sealing everything up dont forget to seal the dipsticks too, i use t rex tape and some plastic bag when i know ill be doing crossings the rest of the time i leave the dipsticks open playdough or even better sillyputty also works in a pinch.

On my to-do list. Just not confident on how I'm gonna wire from engine bay to second battery in the bed of the truck.

Run the wires on the inside of the frame rails. There are zip tie mounts with 3m tape for just the occasion. I wouldnt run in the frame because you could chafe a wire and have a short.

Any exterior wire should be incased in a flexible plastic like tube wrap. The one that looks like a wrinkled worm.

You dont really have to for quality 000 to 4 gauge there is plenty of insulation especially if you are wise about where and how you run them unless there is high heat or a moving part i wouldnt bother. 6 to 18 gauge id put the corrugated plastic on them for sure anywhere they are going just for the added wire managment aspect its never ok to see a rats nest of wiring. With high voltage wires like to the battery id prefer to be able to visually inspect them quick and easily, that corrugated loom stuff also holds dirt and mud like you wouldnt believe. If i absolutely had to have extra insulation on a larger wire id use some thick heat shrink tubing on it though that can get a little expensive.
