Put in a Speski Offroad cargo barrier and Wagongear tailgate lid - installed in Eugene OR by Mr. Wagongear himself.

Add some sound deadener. It takes away some of the noise I was hearing when driving. The tailgate is still one of my favorite mods. Dying to install the barrier but my wife doesn't want it in. So it's only for road trips. Boo
 
Woke up yesterday morning to my wife screaming that the garage was on fire. It was already to far gone to do anything but watch it burn. Lost my HDJ81, the parts truck, my snowmobile, and the wife's car that was in the driveway, and everything inside. Probably the worst day of my life

We are in a hotel for now due to smoke in the house. Not sure where I'll go from here. Thankfully everyone is OK, and the house was saved. Fire investigator feels it started in my truck, but I have no clue how that could be.

Not the greatest anniversary we've celebrated to date.

We feel for you dude. Hang in there. Glad everyone is OK.
 
I went out to continue my first winter adventure and was pretty disappointed about my performance. I still have regular truck tires and let me tell you that they just don't do a thing no matter what kind of 4-wheel drive system you have. It seems that 4 high is way better than 4 low even with both lockers on.
Well time for some real tires to do this rig some justice. I was in the Chequamegon (http://goo.gl/maps/UUbzm) on some forest roads...some plowed some not. Ran into some dog sledders that were not too happy I was there. Well so much for it being a public road for everyone and multi-use. Maybe they think that it means only for them. Things got a little bit heated but overall it was great fun.

No problem, i don't mind sharing. This area is known for it's trout fishing and hiking. It's the Wilson Creek area, or Brown Mountain area. It's just off the parkway from Boone and Blowing Rock in the mountains of North Carolina. Do a map search for Mortimer NC and you will be right in the middle of it.

I've been in that exact spot you shot the picture of on the rock in my 80 as well. Beautiful area
 
Finally got a few seconds to sit down and get some pics off my phone. As you can see, there is nothing salvageable at all. We hope to be back in the house by next weekend, there is a strong smoke odor in the house, and a lot of cleaning to do before we can get back in there.

3rd pic is what's left of my Cruiser.

Real sorry to see this, best wishes for a good out-come. At least everyone is okay !
 
Sold the 80, but will hopefully be in another by the end of the week.

What what what...

Ummm I smell a project brewing...
 
Made a handle keeper from tool hold down clamps left by the the PO. Also found a WWII trenching shovel for $20 and mounted it on the rear pillar.

Nice fridge!

Thanks!! It works almost too well. If I turn it even close to freezer setting then it will freeze all liquids in it
 
how much did you pay for the used charger kit? I'm jealous
