Builds 2018 Premium 460 build (4 Viewers)

Dude, I’m loving these outdoors pics. Really motivates me to finish not only my 460 overlander but the 470 too.

As the Cable Guy says, "Get-er done!"

Those puddle/undercarriage lights look very functional, are they?

I really like them. I don't care for headlamps so I can run these versus a headlamp. Inexpensive Wurtons off Amazon, somewhere in build thread.

Look at #344 for full details of Wurton installation.

Pod Lights – Wurton Offroad LED Lighting

WURTON Off Road LED Pod Lights feature three, 1-watt LED lights mounted in a sealed polycarbonate housing that is attached to a black electro-coated metal base. Each Pod Light is attached to a 12-foot wiring harness for ease of installation. Use them for your rock crawler, or other off road rig...

Preparing for a trip to CO/UT we wanted a proper shower space that didn't require a tent set up thing. The Quick Pitch En Suite is the original En Suite made in South Africa and available from Quick Pitch North America.

I am currently working on fabricating brackets so I can install it exactly where I want it, so it doesn't interfere with other items located on the roof rack.

Stand by for more bracket pics and final build installation.

Pretty slick if it all folds down to a small enough package! Is it also your potty-privy?
Anything to prevent breezes or a wind from blowing that curtain on the person inside, and then sticking to them as they're trying soap or rinse off?

You can peg the bottom of the curtain out, two would be plenty unless its real blustery. Guess I need to post the gusseted brackets. I have 2" square aluminum tube on order, need to space the whole thing away from the vehicle. The straps can also be adjusted for height of the curtain.

Completed my En Suite brackets. My initial designed worked but I needed to space the whole assembly out so I ordered some 2"x 2" square tube aluminum as a spacer. The GX is bulbous and I could actually use more spacing but then you run into sticking it way out in the wind and tree branches. I sprayed the brackets with Krylon but when I send my new front bumper in for powder coating these will get blasted and powder coated.

Mounted the En Suite up added a rubber pad under each outboard attachment point to mitigate squeaking. One of my scene lights lines up and will work for night doody operations.

Night light.

This turned out well and won't interfere with my shovel access or scene light when the En Suite isn't deployed.

Field test will be conducted this weekend, main concerns are wind noise at freeway speeds and tree/brush contact on the trail.

Major mod, upgrade coming. Laying groundwork for this mod this weekend. Location, location location…

As the parts have trickled in for front, rear lockers, gears and day 80 on the Victory front bumper. I have had a fairly busy summer.

This last weekend we went up to Bonners Ferry ID for a small overland rally and conducted a bit of training Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday consisted of Hi Lift Jack, powered winching and basic trail drive. Sunday was recovery equipment review and tire repair. Titan Truck equipment in Spokane sponsored the training and we were happy to conduct it! Jeep, Truck & SUV Accessories & Equipment | Titan Truck Equipment - https://www.titantruck.com/
