So far so good! Just have to remember to charge the switch panel itself, but even when dead you can use it as soon as you plug it in. Happened once, ha.

Hundo got some new shoes and a new matching spare. Went with Falken Wildpeak MT 255/85/16 pizza cutters. So far I am thrilled with the on-road behavior. Road noise is fine, not must different than the 315/75 Ridge Grapplers that I can tell. I still haven't taken them off-road, but people seem to...

Overall amazing trip with the kids from central Texas to New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado and back! - Four Corners Monument to Blanding - Blanding to Manti-La Sal NF - Elk Ridge Road to Briger Jack Road to Moab - Rim Rocker Trail in Moab to Buckeye Reservoir - Buckeye to Telluride -...

Decided to pull the trigger on solar. - Renogy 120 watt ShadowFlux panel (16bb) - Victron 15 amp 75 volt bluetooth solar charge controller - Updated power box wiring I decided to try locking pins on the front panel mount so I can rotate the panel when parked. My concern is the rattling when on...

Learned a lot about Hundo since the last update and done a few things along the way. Mostly routine oil changes and fixing things here and there. Ive been enjoying just driving, ha. Heading to Utah with my two youngest kids early July. Since the last update: - Replaced the other CV - Fan clutch...

Hundo did great in Moab! Hit Fins n Things and Hells Revenge. I did not attempt Hells Gate this trip. Other than realizing a snorkel would have been great, trip was amazing. Here's some wheeling videos from the trip. After I returned, got my results from last oil change from Blackstone...

The landscape and terrain was so diverse. I want to go back with the kids and explore more!

I had a heck of a time finding pictures for the fabricator to use for ideas. I wasn't sure since I didn't see a ton out there, but I am very happy with how they turned out and they did great in Moab. I had a little rubbing but nothing needing immediate attention. I still can't decide how to...

Despite some last-minute wrenching the day before leaving (replaced alternator, battery, and a coil), the trip went amazingly well. Hell of a first wheeling trip!!! Day 1 - Fins and Things / Hells Revenge Day 2 - Monticello Day 3 - Blanding Day 4 - Valley of the Gods

Eventful day before I leave... Hundo died a couple miles from the house. Pulled the battery and Autozone tested bad, ok not so bad. Buy replacement and install, yay 12.3 volts. Drove home, volts no bueno. Alternator no bueno 😢 Back to the zone for the alt. Watch YT, try to remove, watch more...

Final workday before trip! Got my front and rear bumper done at ATX Offroad (@atx_offroad on IG) and couldn't be happier. Many thanks to TTTS&M (@AverageTanner) for helping with the winch wiring and wiring cleanup under the hood.

Latest round of updates! Prime Day got me and I just finished the install. Got a front bumper cooking too 😏 - SetPower PT45 fridge/freezer - 600 watt pure sine inverter - Blue Sea isolator - 100 Amp breakers - 100 Ah AGM - Battery Box - Samout fridge slide with cutting board - 3/4" birch drawer...

Went with my two youngest kids on our own... This was the first long distance trip with the cruiser and the kids camping more than one night so it was pretty tame in terms of wheeling. Good news is, the kids loved it! Just need to adjust the logistics. They like base camping rather than moving...

On my own with two of my kids. It really is visually stunning everywhere.
