Picked up an Ironman 4x4 awning today. Really like these awnings. I’ve not seen other brands in person but the build quality is great and there are some convenient features. It took us about 5 min to setup in the parking lot.

And next week...

Spent a nice few days out in the Cotopaxi National Park. The weather was perfect it’s rare to see the volcano so clearly. Too bad I wasn’t climbing. Completed a 500 mile gear break in over the last couple weeks and this was the first outing not babying the rig. Huge difference in accessible power with this weight and at these crazy elevations.
4.88 are great. People underestimate the advantages on steep up and down
Pictures of Cotopaxi brings me back to 2011. Cotopaxi Mountain is a Tough Hike! Every step upward is rewarded with a half-step downward. Loose volcanic gravel is tough. You and your LC are on a great adventure. Thanks for sharing it with us.

My daughters and I made it about half way to the Cotopaxi refuge. They are 5 and 7 they were leading the way and I was the one that made us turn around because mom and baby brother were in the cruiser waiting. We hadn’t planned on doing this hike at all
I ran a 60k ultra around Chimborazo that was the hardest thing I have ever done. We started as 14k Elevation and went up to the refuge at about 16-17k then Back around the other side of the volcano. I try to summit Pichincha at least once a month to maintain Acclimated to very high altitude. This place is wonderfully beautiful but running and racing here is the most challenging thing I have done.

WOW, 60k run at 14k + elevation, that's Beast Mode for sure. And getting the little ones trained up on Cotopaxi, very cool. Great pics.

Finally got these goodies in. See how this install goes. Raingler cargo net and attic, Escape Gear seat covers. 120lb Primary reason for install pictured.

Installed the Raingler cargo barrier and the attic net. Was not the easiest job but doable. I’m not convinced Raingler sent me the correct net as it really does not fit properly at the bottom. I made it work and honestly just didn’t feel like following up on it. The attic is awesome. With a 5 person family we are very loaded down anytime we go out. The attic is awesome for convenient soft item storage. Build quality from Raingler is very good.

Also put in the escape gear seat covers. Apparently equipt had an ordering mishap and accidentally ordered me a set for a 2016+ model year. The covers did not fit my ‘13 properly but equipt did a fantastic job rectifying the situation. They immediately shipped me a replacement set for a 2013 and were kind enough to give me a bonus dash cover for the mistake.
Anyway, these seat covers are great but not the easiest thing to install. Probably took me around 2.5 hours to do the whole thing. My one criticism for the covers is the buckles are brittle plastic. I busted 1 buckle when I was cinching it down. I tied it off so it worked out in the end but I was a little disappointed that the buckle busted like that.

2 hours? What makes it difficult as I am contemplating ordering these?
Thx

Well learn fro me
There is very little space beneath the front seats and there are 6 or so straps you need to get from the back to the front buckles. So I did each one of these by hand the first time. And that was hell. The second time I smartened up and grabbed my fish tape and that made things a lot easier. Then I realized that if you pull up on the seat control it actually raises the seat
so with the front seats raised and a fish tape you could probably cut the front install down to 30 minutes. The second row just took time figuring it all out. I think they included instructions but I don’t read those 
which quite possibly could make things go even easier.
Man just found this thread. Awesome rig. It looks very similar to what I have envisioned for my rig as far as upgrades, vinyl, and such. Will probably do Slee armor though. And the fact that its a LX. This is by far one of my favorite 200's with very tasteful and useful mods.
