First thing she is going to say, "You don't like the way I make sandwiches then make them yourself!".
What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

Last things I bought for my Tacoma: 2 core radiator, larger trans cooler, grms radio, and an auxiliary power kit from Overland Equipped. I still have to install them.

Still a decent number of folks using CB in the USA especially. Certain parts of Canada as well, mostly the praries where it works best. In the mountains, CB isn't as good. I have one in my rig, and I use it when wheeling with certain friends of mine. I plan to install a UHF with the Resource Road channels programmed come spring, but not taking my CB out.

I see it used as well. GMRS has definitley gained a lot of ground since I started using it, but still run into a few groups still running CB. These days I just run VHF/UHF and GMRS (also UHF technically lol).

Bought and installed a Warn M8000 winch over the weekend. It may not be the biggest but it didn't hurt the wallet and it'll do fine with a snatch block and some tow straps in series. Glad to finally fill the hole in the bumper.
Next up is a suspension refresh with a 2.5" AEV system and a RTT Utility Trailer Build. Gonna be a fun and expensive couple of months.

Ordered these so I can carry the bike (or the carrier) without having to remove the hitch.

I’ll have to look into those. There’s a topic in here about radios, correct?

New iKamper 2.0 tent. Went exploring on some trails around central Washington state today and did a test setup (not camping this weekend unfortunately).
In this picture, the camera is level, but the Jeep is not. Thankfully, the new tent isn't coming loose! The new Rhino Backbone system and crossbars are doing great!

There are several for various different types, I think. They also vary somewhat between US and Canada.

Recently purchased a new to us Jeep JKU which has been unmolested by its former owner and completely bone stock for a clean slate for a build. Spent this weekend making the rounds of our favorite shops spending our children's inheritance on the first round of "necessities" for overland exploration:) Now have a huge pile of boxes stacked up in the garage to keep me busy with installation.

Trail Forged WJ Track bar on it's way. Currie Johnny Joint one end and Trail Forged special bushing on the other, good to go for 9/16" hardware. I expect no binding, less stress on the frame bracket, and a lot better longevity. Tired of getting less than 6 months out of polyurethane bushings on the JKS.
Last thing I bought was the red arc revision. I love it so far. Rigged up some rv water tank heaters to keep the batteries warm and it just works and reduced the wiring a ton. Next on the list is a GMRS radio.
