Made a Maxtrax and Shovel mount for my Slee ladder swingout. The system is removable for those times where you don't need the accessories. Includes cables to hold more securely and offer some additional theft protection.

Hey! Where'd the mountians go?!?!?
Spring cleaned the h*** out of it. Inside and out. Used some polishing compound to take off about 90% of my Colorado pinstripping. Was really surprised how well that stuff works. The remaining 10% of the scratches were much more faint in apperance. Would be interested to see what a professional polish job would look like.... but I'm sure I'll be scratching her up again in no time.
Installed a GlobalSat GPS Receiver and waiting on the 4G antenna's for better cell coverage out in the middle of nowhere. I looked into the LowRance GPS systems, but couldn't quite nut $600+, so the GlobalSat will do for now.
What doe's this thin wire attach to? Position Switch?
She was a dirty girl, so she got the hose.
Removed the 33" spare.
Pounded back the pinch welds and reformed the wheel well liner with a Wagner Heat Gun. No more scuffing!

The rear locker solenoid wire. It just gets baked with road/trail crud...or at least mine did...then it eventually broke; same symptom. Of course it could be one of several different problems.
Now...mine locks but the OEM rear locker light still blinks. But I'm fairly certain that has something to do with the t-case speed connector I pulled to get 4th/OD in LR.
I didn't do anything to her... But I bought her a tent! Some Chinese built, over priced buggar. But it beats sleeping on the ground and it's cheaper than a roof top. Lighter weight too. Cost $139 on amazon. And I kinda like it. The doors are kinda short in length. I thought it was a fault as I need to lower my top hatch a little to get it stretched over the bottom, but I think it's actually as designed for water shed purposes.

I dont have a platform built up. in the past i had just tumbled the seats forward and slept in the back with under 6 feet of space to lay down. ive dropped the tailgate to gain extra foot room and stretch out, but then the bugs came in... Now i have a screen/nylon condom i can snap on and ill be good to go 
Plus, when it gets hot in the car while its raining outside, rolling down a window isnt the greatest. while i havent tested it yet, im sure the extra ventilation will be one of the better benefits here in the tropics.

Wow I really like that tent. I think I may have to look into one. Got a link by any chance?
This one on Amazon looks like the one, same price.

Andrew, I have one as well. It comes in different models. I'm not sure which model I have but it seems to fit fine with the lift gate all the way open. If you have a platform, you probably don't need this, otherwise, it adds ~18" to the length of your sleeping area.
The material is cheap nylon. I wouldn't mind reproducing it in canvas. LBPtaco on Expo did just that.

Ah very cool thank you both for the insight. I'm liking this a lot.
I did this,
Cruise Moab 2014 Fins and Things carnage. Time to make a real skid plate to go between the bottom of the bumper and the rear of the winch cradle.
and this.
Saw these shift knobs in the Raffle at Cruise Moab. Cruiser Dan won one. They are schweet. The locking knob spins between lock and free.

I need to do both of these. Did you remove the liner before pounding back the pinch weld?
Here is how mine went:
1 pop two lowest plastic insterts (May also have Allen bolt holding them in) that attach inner fender liner to the body
2 pound away
3 peel away chipped paint, and hit with some primer, etc. (took a monster shard to the finger, so use gloves/be careful)
4 use Wagner/other heat gun to reform liner and flatten it out.
200 miles and no scuffs since

Adding some convenience touches....
A cutting board / work surface for my one of outback solutions drawers. It's made of Richlite and uses neodymium magnets (epoxied to the underside) to keep it in place. Thanks to 1407Driver for this one.
If you have a slee jerry can holder you know it has essentially an open bottom... I had some scrap HDPE so I cut to fit. When the cans are not living in it I now have a shelf to hold tools or whatever when I'm parked.
