What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

Yeah... it tends to take crimping tools that are not so common at the home improvement store... I always bought solder on connectors when i was building antennas or installing my 706. I got lucky with my last Ranger. There was a HUGE grommet in the back so I was able to remote mount the head on the dash, the body behind the seat, and run power under the carpet and antenna between the cab and the bed. but I also spent the last few years inactive, and do not even know if my 706 still works, much less what I plan to do to mount it in my new Tacoma. I mean it would be a great excuse to get a 7100, but that $1500 would be better spent on a set of skid plates for the taco :)

Yeah I can crimp RJ45... But not whatever this coax cable is. Problem is solved now either way and the install is super tidy how I like it. Nothing exposed anywhere. Mic can be stowed easily when parking in not great areas....

yup... looks like a good setup... as for crimping RJ45... I might have to get you to make an extension cable for my 706 mic. it uses RJ45, and while I USED to be a computer tech, if I wanted to crimp RJ45 these days I would have to swipe my dad's crimping tool and look up a tutorial as it has been long enough I do not remember which pair goes wear :)

I've got a 300 foot spool of Kevlar jacketed Cat5E....

Just purchased some new shocks for my truck....have to balance it as a DD/Kid Mover and part-time off-road camper. Plan on installing them sometime in the next couple weeks once all the rain stops.
 
Continuing on...just installed Vector's GGB for JL. First time I have been at this point; no parts to get next! Wait, what? Will tidy up wires, take inventory, and weigh everything.

Making campsite reservations will be the next thing to buy.

Last thing I bought was some take-off rock rails for the Gladiator. Didn't really plan on doing lift/suspension and good thing I bought the rails because some light wheeling over the weekend made me realize just how long the wheelbase is. Probably going to drop a chunk of coin on a 2.5" lift and some Fox 2.5's at some point toward the fall.

Most newer European trailers have simular looks. Our Hobby (yes, Hobby is the brand) is a 2020 model so can't be more modern :P
There is a small overview of the inside on our YouTube channel if you are interested :)
Yes 2020 can't get any newer. Love trailers and van conversions, thanks for sharing your video.
 
Bought these 17" OZ racing wheels for my hatchback, will pick them up on sunday.

4x4ing/overlanding isn't for me at this time and I can't afford the expense of owning 2 vehicles either.

Starting from scratch with all of the camping gear since I'm new to all of this. Now I need to find a toilet.
 
Just put some pro comp ds5 dual flood/spot lights on the bumper. Next will be flush mount pods for the rear
Those look really nice on your rig. On the second picture it looks blue. Is the light on or is there something special that makes it like that?
 
Fortunately I’m in an industry that has thrived through COVID, but it’s kept me from hanging out on OB!

Did a full Goose Gear plate system. I absolutely love not having anything to setup now! Even added some sliding rear windows in the hardtop for ventilation and did one of Vector Offroads new aluminum rear interior shelf’s. Love this setup!

Thank you! I am definitely happy with them. The second picture has the protection film that they put on for packaging. I forgot to take it off when I took the picture.
