Dean at H&H by the Charlotte airport. Great guy, knows 80’s inside and out.

Good to know about drain time, thanks!

Purchased a 270 awning that claims to be freestanding — I don’t know about that. Comes with poles etc so will test that claim on a trip out west here in a few weeks. Brand is “open road 4WD”, which I realized after ordering is pretty much a direct copy of the new Ironman 270 awning. Wouldn’t be...

Few more small updates A pillar mount, believe this came from 67 Designs. This will eventually be for a SwitchPro. Fumoto drain valve. Always a controversial piece but I’ve been wanting to try one so we’ll see. Changed to a Factor 55 Flatlink E shackle. Before was just running the...

Good shout, and I have mounts using tee nuts off the base plate, but the problem is the small M4 machine screws holding the top plates to the drawers are the weakest link with anything mounted to the tops.Once I figure out something better here, a lot of mounting options become available. I...

Okay, due for a bit of an update here. Little has changed up until recently, but some bigger ticket items are on order and I’ve been knocking out a few small projects here and there. The majority of my time with the car over the past 9 months has just been spent using it how it’s meant to be...

Dropping this here for those who haven’t seen, believe they released this somewhat recently. GX460 Single Swingout Steel ***Plated*** Rear Bumper - https://nguyenworksusa.com/shop/ols/products/gx460-single-swingout-steel-plated-rear-bumper Not my thing but might float someone else’s boat...

Here you go. I used several floor jacks as well. Found that pre-installing the fairlead gives a leverage point to tilt the front plane perpendicular and get it tucked up properly into the grille while the rest is supported with other jacks/stands Install turned out pretty good. I have...

They are. I’m not a huge fan of attaching them this way since the t slot nuts will rattle like crazy on the bottom drawer when they’re stacked since there won’t be a top plate on that drawer, but for now it works.

Drawers are mounted. Tolerances here aren’t perfect and I definitely need to redo the hinge brackets but I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. I kinda mailed it in on the faceplates for the drawers since gorilla glue absolutely does not stick to marineboard at all. Should have realized...

Chopped the front bumper expecting my victory bumper wouldn’t show up in time for my next trip. A day or two later I get this: Been studying the install video for the past few days, really doesn’t seem that complicated or time consuming but after reading @Thed351W and @LWC install write ups...

Man that’s a really good save. Glad you caught it when you did

Aftermarket, but after chasing blackline part numbers for something else I realized that the OEM part number was barely more expensive than the aftermarket options. Only benefit to going aftermarket on a pre-facelift grille is they (the seller I went with anyway) know who’s buying these grilles...

Thanks. If you decide to go that route hit me up when you do. Hopefully I’ll have them more dialed in by then.
