Nice!
I’m running up Lemmon after work to test out the new camp topper for the night. Just me and some beer and a book.

Not sure where you are at but Apache Sitgreaves National forest is on stage two fire restrictions. Coconino moves from stage one to stage two on Tuesday.
I’m fourteen miles east of the Ferris fire in southwestern Colorado.
Wildfire smoke makes beautiful sunsets tho

Found even more pines & a few aspens

Probably for a good reason. I remember getting up to 80 in a FJ40 before. This was years ago even then I thought to myself what was I thinking. Last forty years closest I've had a FJ40 up that speed it was being towed.Yeah, the Taco goes a might bit faster than the FJ40
almost rolled….. then my buddy rolled Lol. Hot as ballz to be wheeling
Finally got everything buttoned up & installed! 200W Roof Mounted Solar system with a Renogy ShadowFlux running to a solar charge controller in my rear QPM (courtesy of DVS), wired directly up to my 2nd battery for some static charging capacity, with a separate line from the 2nd battery to the rear QPM now hosting two 12V ports & 3 USB plugs... Looking as factory as I can make it.
Additionally I have my Bluetti Battery Bank & separate 200W folding solar panel for extended camp spots.
Also, cut into the ARB front bumper to install some flush mounted Baja Designs Squadron 2.0 Pros which came out looking great. Lastly, paired up those with some BD Squadron Sports in the rear for work / chase lights!
Picture #1 show the solar panel is thin enough that you can't even see it from normal viewing angles. Picture #5 shows the full QPM system before I added a kill switch for the second set of ports and reattached the panel.
Heading up to Montana next week for three weeks of camping, trails, fly fishing, and photography along the way!
