New rear wiper arm and blade - JDM "Prius" mod

Thanks, @cruiserpatch !

Also replaced fuel pump, strainer and submerged fuel pump wiring harness along with some new kick plate fasteners while in there.

My Cruiser mentor, Steve Powers, wired my ARB front bumper indicator and driving lights. And we changed out the fuel filter with new OEM.

I like the sentiment and the comment...

The RTT is for the wife and kid, I'm too fat to get up and down that ladder
and I can't sleep anywhere near my wife...she SNORES loud and can fall back to
sleep after being woken in less than 10 seconds.

I have a Gazelle T3X Overland Edition pop-up tent and a cot for myself.

How was the packaging from shipping? Also, did you have to have a lift gate truck or did it deliver in a regular UPS truck? Looks great!!

Packaging was good...there was a dent on the roof but not a biggie for me.

I get the feeling it kind of flummoxed the UPS guys because a manager made a special trip
in an otherwise empty regular/small UPS truck and needed me to help get it off the truck (178 lbs.)

It was protected by:
Plastic corner armor
foam sheet inside
thin particle board inside
wrapped in plastic

It sat on the side of my house in the box over the winter and while there was a little mold
on the thin particle board, none made it's way to the exterior or interior of the tent.

All in all, very impressed with the quality of the fabrics, stitching, sleeping pad, shell seal and hardware/accessories.

It's literally the exact same footprint/size as the Gamiviti roof rack
