That's all you've been up too, huh? Pretty sweet updates! Looks good as always, I like the center cooler idea.

gracias gents!

Ryan- nice to see yours getting love too!
fridge should be a nice addition, location was really the only option with the toolbox in the back limiting vertical space.
I'll add some updates about the battery management system I'm using to keep the fridge and compressor on the aux/house batt and maintain reliability

Aaron- door bags are from AutoFab- pretty sure Darren stitches them up. Quality is top notch as is stand for them! Nice to have some extra storage with the center
console going liquid diet.
reservoir is an unfortunate necessity for the rear diff breather- the housing is drilled too close to the pumpkin so it was pissing diff oil out the breather tube
under certain situations. The catch can was the easiest solution as I didn't figure it out until it was already assembled. I had a batch off to powder
this last run so I threw it in the pile for shits and giggles. Ran a fresh line as well for cool points....

Fils, those were the 15 x 8 alcoa race prototype wheels and 35" BFGs- but the ht I took was the reason for the fender contact. wasnt rubbing before that incident.

Jason, I battery tray is a Ruff Stuff piece that CHO and Richer Racing incorporated into the engine cage. Nice and tidy. I picked up another to mount an aux battery in the cargo hold.
I'll get some pics up in the next few days.

Thanks, Bray, appreciate it. Enjoying following along with your upgrades, thanks for taking the time to post them.

Some new lighting in the mix now.

I came across some vids of this truck and liked how they set it up- so i borrowed their idea.

always been a fan of having lighting off to the sides of a rig- much easier to choose a line without having to commit.

my rendition- all Baja Designs stuff;

30" S8 behind the grille
Squadron Pros on the A-Pillars
XL80s rotated outward
Onyx6 40" bar

it''s pretty damned bright

Rock Lights are all wired in too; they are switched and also plumbed into the factory door sensors; so they automatically come on when the door is open

HID projector headlights and LED taillights by our own Tony TCMGLX

Rock lights by MAX LUX- they are LED and magnetic. Wired with just enough slack to adjust location for recovery or repair purposes

Thanks Tony- those LED tails and HIDs you put together for me really cleans it up. Had to get a new 3rd brakelight just to keep up.

B- text me. We're going out this weekend weather permitting.

Had the truck out again for a run last weekend. New springs and shocks continue to impress.

Should have said weekend before last. My old powerstroke lives on in a buddy's hands so we decided to take a day trip. Nice to see her getting some miles

Rain had us wondering but we figured a trip up Nate Harrison Grade to the top of Palomar Mountain would be a start.

There was snow up there and made for some pretty cool scenery.

We couldn't help but go and check out Ocotillo and do our best to avoid the mud

Got to stretch the bronco out a bit east of Blow Sand out past the OHV area by Quarry road. Cool loop out there and it's street legal vehicles only so not a lot of folks out there.

Truck feels nice and stable; it's really tough to upset her. Stoked. I'm out of motor lol
