Plastidip on the grill, lower door trims, and rear badge. Haven't dealt with the Windows, door handles or rear chrome yet.

How did you plastidip the lower door trims and badging? Remove, spray, replace or tape and hope for the best?

i taped off the rear logo (1” overhang) and peeled the excess off after it dried. Works surprisingly well.
On the door trim, I pulled off one side to paint and it ended up being a lot more work than just spraying it in place.

it’s held up well, and easy to touch up if you get a scratch.

Thanks. Gonna go crazy with the plastidip over the holidays.
 
What are you planning? Drawers?

Ours are still in place but not sure for how long.

Single drawer cabinet mainly to create a flat sleeping platform. Will also mount my LiFePO and 1200w inverter.
 
Step 1: use all the tools to make a template

Step 2: cut it out and screw it together.

I plan to use 2 of the captive nuts that held the seat in to lock it down. Also need to cut it shorter so the second row can recline a bit, and the. I’ll let the animals Paint/decorate it....
And at some point make a drawer, but I I’ve always hated making drawers 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm curious why you went on the 40 side instead of the 60 side?

Mainly air circulation since the rear blower is on the driver side. Also, is there really a 60 side since the 2nd row arm rest folds down? (Either side can be 60)?

yeah, that's a good point on the hvac. My wing isn't nearly as close as yours and can get a good whistle going. I found the 40 side a bit easier to flip up for kid access, but it probably doesn't matter too much.

ahh, we can’t flip up the 2nd row due to booster seats - They just climb over...
 
I present you with a Portable Private Pop-up Pooping Pod with Propane heater. You guys (@grinchy) that are rolling with a bag-less unit are maniacs! One ED and it’s toast 😂

What are the odds we have the exact same color and brand of tent? Crazy.

My kids are older, so they can usually message the activity ahead. The Ironman potty takes bags, but as it's 'bottomless' they aren't required; I didn't bag for #1s, but I expect to for #2s.

Love the heater.
