Slee sliders
tough as nails and used far too often. I need to learn how to drive.
ARB Bullbar with Ramsey Patriot 9500 winch and Hella 4000s
I left Utah with 3 Hella 4000s on the bullbar. I now only have two. The whoops outside El Arco and my too hot welding broke my center mount and I now have my 4000 pencil beam in the back of my truck. I have used the winch once so far this trip. you'll need to subscribe to

National Luna Dual Battery Set up with dual Yellow Top Optimas.
Expensive for sure but for someone like me it's ideal. constant monitoring of my batteries. My fridge is the only thing attached to my second battery. There have been a few stretches during my trip where I have not driven for a few days and the yellow top has held up just fine powering the fridge. Only in Panama City did the battery finally fully drain. I had to ditch all my perishable food before shipping anyway so I turned the fridge off and after the two hour drive to Colon the battery was fully charged again.
Safari Snorkel with filthy pre-cleaner (just 2 months of use has made me a convert)
I have always liked the look of the pre-cleaner and used my trip as the excuse to buy one for aesthetic purposes. However after only 2 months there is about 3/4 of inch of dirt in the cleaner already. I plan to clean it once I pick up the truck here in Colombia. It's amazing how much crap is in there. Vehicle reliability is at the top of my priorities for the trip and all that dirt not hitting my main filter is just one more step toward reaching Ushuaia. oh and yep i still think it looks cool.
