Enjoyed a few days out at Hatteras and Ocrakoe doing some surf fishing

Did a light refresh on the interior since it was too darn cold here in TX to do my Fatmatt or the monstaliner roof this weekend.....
found drawer liner foam and cut it to fit the cupholders and center bins ( and the darn glove comparment....that's way more complicated...)
Then bought "tread" covers from Lowes and cup to fit over - and glued it all with contact glue.... I have to say it came our really nice for $10.... I also put felt tabs on all the contact points and iit helped minimize a few rattles...
I also installed the finally parts from the CARID real wood kit..... stripped all the rest of the old trim and slap on the new - a HUGE difference for the money and it really lightened up the interior. Pics to follow tomorrow......
As a note don't forget to put away razor blades when you are done..... found one in my box of rags accidently.....off to the hospital to get stiches...!

Started on the lift
Installed a new PRINDLE bulb, then went to Burger King and watched a Heep in front of me blow up 
Making progress on the gears and front end.
Installed the rear third member.
Finished setting up the front ring and pinion.
tore down the front knuckles the rest of the way and Cleaned, cleaned, cleaned.
I got a small ultrasonic cleaner from harbor freight and put some degreaser in it. I took all the hardware and tossed it in there for a couple of min. and it does a great job of knocking all the grit off. makes reassembly way nicer.
I have a set of these off set king pin bearings that I'm going to try to add another 2 deg. of castor. Depending on the orientation when you install them you can also get camber if you want. I may set it up for a couple tenths of camber too.

We just released them recently.
iconvehicledynamics.com
They are 2.5" dia. 7/8" shaft and have a 20% bump zone in the last couple inches.
15-3/8" comp
26-3/4" ext.
11-3/8" travel
full up travel-no bump spacer needed.
These have the CDC compression adjuster. cant quite see it in this pic its jest behind the hose on the reservoir. you can also get them without the adjuster. We will be doing a 2.0" soon too.

Awesome, I was wondering when you guys would get this done, are you going to come out with in pneumatic inside spring bump stops?

Pics of the cheapo console rehab project - you can't see the rubber underlay but it make a diffence in feel.
Drove and charted some more forest service roads in N.E. Georgia. Oh, and amazed yet another Jeep owner with the features and capabilities of a basically stock Land Cruiser.
Are you still using the 55 watt panel that you did your write up on?Solar testing and some quality time with Sam the wonder dog
You read my mind.
I'm working in the fronts.
Rears would require cutting. I haven't committed to the rear yet.
The 55 watt was on our 100 series
This set up uses a 100 watt solar film
20" x 40" x 0.12" thick, yes less 1/8" thick
Thread hijack but with one engel fridge running and the stereo occasionally, I was thinking 80 watts is sufficient to keep the battery topped off? What do you all think?
