Picked my wife up from the airport at 9pm in Jackson wy. Grabbed a pizza and beer. Found a killer camp sight up in Bridger Teton NF. The 80 makes this stuff so easy.

Installed a bunch of L-Track on my Prinsu Designs rack:

Modified my Tepui telescoping ladder for quick disconnect using L-Track:

Reworked my side illumination with a single 11" 50W LED bar on each side. Amazon.com: MICTUNING MIC-5DP50 2X SR-Mini Series 11'' 50W Single Row CREE LED Light Bar COMBO Spot Flood 5000lm 500m Visibility: Automotive
I had to get creative with the mounts given the 11.5" width. Used only the brackets the kit came with and a few nuts and washers for spacers. Very little clearance on the front end of the light.

Yours is so much cleaner than mine. It looks polished!

5 yards of the Thermozite will cover the entire floor if you are willing to piece it together. I'm using carpet tape on the insulation side and metal tape in the foil side for all the pieces. I may have enough for the wheel wells if I get creative.

@Dissent , I have the 8" version of that light. It fit perfectly on my Prinsu rack, and held up all rain season with no leaks.


Very nice! I looked at those but went with the 11" because they were going in the front bumper slots (until I saw the brace I need to re-work) :rolleyes:, so I put them on the rack instead. :p The 11" was really easy but took a few hours of staring at them and fiddling with different brace hardware. Oh, be sure to paint the brackets, they are black oxide but will rust. I hit them with a couple of coats of roll-bar paint which matches the semi-gloss sheen of the light and rack. FWIW I aimed them at 95* to get the light more forward where I can see it better from the front seats.

Mine project really far out but I may pickup those 8" and install them forward in the front cutout by the spoiler aimed closer to the truck.

They are so bright! I wanted to mount one behind the OEM hatch spoiler (with a cut out) but it seems overkill. The 2x2 cube I have now doesn't fully cut it through the window tint.

fixed the ABS wiring that got ripped out two weekends ago exploring an overgrown forest road, thankfully it pulled the pins out an didnt do any other damage.

That's some ambition right there. How long did it take you to gut the interior?
