Nice shower...i'd love one of them. I'll get the details next week from you guys at the Springs.
did you upgrade the TCase skid plate?
What about the front of the diff? did you guys tack on a plate?

I don't think we have done either, but we might need them more since we have Rubicon in between now and Alaska. @bkcruiser
 
^Uh yeah^
 
So what is the story behind this truck? Was it one that was just secret squirreled away? It looks bad ass! Y'all are going to be some legit Overlanders!

What are you guys doing with the old tires? I'm still on the lookout for a good used set of 16 or 18 in to step up from my Maxxis.

@fountainhead was thinking about going to ATs...hound him.

Fing Jrob is a hoarder :)
 
I bought the truck in stock form out of Oklahoma about eight years ago and "built" it up for the 2010 Alaska Cruiser Trek. Unfortunately there ended up not being room on the trailer so I made the trip as a passenger while it stayed home. Made a few trips out with it but finally sold it to Fountainhead a few years later. Jenny used it for a while but wisely moved on and the truck was sold to JRob and SRob. JRob and Bodean have taken the build to a whole new level in preparation for the 2016 ACT. Really nice work guys! That's one truck I wish I had back!

Back when I owned it-Moab,UT
 
This build has been fun! Don't recall getting greasy but one time!! Easy when you have a good platform to work with ;-)

Shower install and washer resivour relocation. Quick disconnects (blue hoses) for the supply and shower hose. Pump and hoses all fit in a bucket that can be used for the supply water if we need it.

We had already begun disassembling the set up when I took this pic. The bottom hose is the supply hose and the top connects to the heat exchanger. Bracket hooks up to the ARB bumper. Power and ground to the battery and you're set. Works great!
 
One thing still left...front diff protection.
 
Found a flask for Tolleson. You know, its gotta be unbreakable and space saving.

I tweaked the logo design a little bit more.

Got too much to do to fool with t shirts Rick. Too many paying jobs between now and then. Maybe when we get back...
