Are those sr5 seats in good shape? it would be a shame to see them go to waste in a hunting truck. ;)
 
Finished up the floor. Felt good to paint it!

Something is amiss with the rear window in that Mustang ;).
 
Not my wrenching, but Jolene got some new shoes.
I don't pick tires for aesthetics, but her new heels look great.

Ram Mount, Bad Elf dongle and Gaia GPS turns the kids' brain rotter into a functional trail tool.

I have been using Lifetime Trail Maps (look at their site) for mapping on my SxS ... their coverage is pretty freaking awesome and includes many 4X4 trails

Nothing on their site showing mapping for NC though...
 
That looks great! I take that iPad didn't have GPS built in? Ready for Vermont, wicked!
Correct, low end mini.
The Bad Elf is good all over the world and accurate to 8 ft.

You are correct. But the mapping is done by members to some extent. Record a track and send it to them and they scrub it and publish it. Updates are free.

When I started with them, they only has the Windrock / Brimstone / Royal Blue / North Cumberland area maps available (April of this year). They have built their map database exponentially this year to include a lot of places.

The software allows you to download topo maps of where you want to ride and record your own track and turn them into maps ...

I bought a cheap refurb Android tablet and got them to program it ....
 
Turned quite a few wrenches this evening. Feels good to assemble fabricated parts for the last time!

Next, and last, fabrication project (before Logan's Run), changing my exhaust to suit the new crossmember layout.

Are you going to put some metal on the bottom of the crossmember to protect the case or is the case strong enough to take some hits?

I will build a skidplate, yes. Right now I'm out of time, so I won't have it for Logan's run, but I do plan to make one.

205s are strong, but not break a rock with it strong.
 
Man I love it when a plan comes together. This is better than my last shifter setup for sure :lol:
