Hole in the Rock trail with Bluecruiser and on to the Kokopelli Trail to Cruise Moab. Good week.
Awesome photos! Where is that water crossing? We were out that way a few months ago, made it about 2/3rds of the way down the HiTR trail but ran out of daylight so had to setup camp and turn around in the morning.
That's not far from the Dewey Bridge off the 128. It's actually the Delores River by Roberts Bottom. Utah has some of the best trails in the Southwest.
Jesus, i honestly cant follow that. I swapped out my rusty front skid plate last night, and will be installing a 30mm spacer lift and fox 2.0 shocks this weekend.
Drove 1 1/2 hours to visit these guys.
Picked up this
Gotta give a big thanks to the guy behind the counter, totally cool. Helped me load it for the trip back to the 719.
SLEE, you guys rock! Great visit to the store, good looking showroom and super helpful. Thanks again!

Technically it will be done next week but thanks to Beno
So I can get rid of this

Replaced my driver-side mirror that was side-swiped earlier this week.
Ran a 4 awg power line to the rear so I can power my new Dometic fridge and future toys / lights.

Installed my spacer lift and fox 2.0 shocks. Took me way longer than i thought, although i was by myself. Turns out rust belt vehicles are the bane of my existance. Thank god for cordless impact wrenchs. I had no intention of cutting the floor to get to the rear shocks, but the holes in my floor will tell you how far that idea went.
I had every intention of taking a full regiment of photos, but that was abandoned soon after. I will say 30mm does seem like much, but i like it.

Cleaned my moms house and loaded the back with 7 trash bags. Threw them in at my jobs dumpster. Shhhhh
Can you describe how you did this? I need better juice for my fridge
love your awning, who makes it if you don't mind?
Sure, it's easy. You need about 20' of cable, directly attached to the battery at one end with a fuse (I went with a nice, 100 amp AFS-style fuse), then I ran it under the truck to the back, tied to the top of the farm rail all the way back. In the rear, there's an oval 1"x3" plastic cover just below the brake light - pop that off, drill a hole (sealing with silicone when done if the fit isn't tight enough around the wire) then feed the wire up from there. The wire will come up in a small cavity behind the trim in the interior (just tug at the top of the rear corner trim and the clips will pop out) and viola, you have power to the rear. Tomorrow my Blue Seas fuse box will show up (allows for fused distribution of power) along with a 12v panel-mount power recepticle - just wire it up, pop a 1" hole in the panel and mount.
Running the wire took about an hour, front to back, and the final wiring tomorrow will probably take about 30 minutes. Each upgrade and now I have up to 200 amps* (with the appropriate fuse up front) of power available in the back.
* 200 amps is near the upper limit of current a 4 awg cable can safely transmit 20' @ 12v. But I cannot imagine needing more than 2,400 watts of power back there - 4 awg is absolute overkill for just a fridge.
Did you run both ground and Positive ? appreciate you sharing the route as I'm thinking I'll use the wire part of a 2ga 25' set of spare jumper cables to run power for an inverter and blue seas junction box.... thinking a 1500 watt inverter is about the max for that.
anyone else put an inverter in the rear and have any suggestions of best place etc ? I did it under the passenger seat in My 80 using just 4 ga and it was perfect , but think in this rig it's better placed in the rear...

No, just ran the hot back, I'll ground it to the chassis somewhere in the rear, likely a seatbelt anchor or similar. I prefer grounds as short as possible.
Drove it.
Get some gas, man!
