Thanks for the kind words, original post has been updated with more detailed photos of what has been completed. Here is a list of what is in the works:

The current OB grill is temporary. I thought I liked it more than the cheese grater badlands grill but now I like the badlands grill more lol. the grill cracked when removing it so I had it fixed.

Frame mounted custom Rock sliders- I am not liking what is on the market so I am getting something fabricated. hoping to solve some issues I have with the body protection.

After much thought I decided to get the roof wrapped satin white. Hope to have it done in February so updates coming.

I have my eyes on the rough country hidden winch mount but I am concerned with it being so low. I have never had a winch before so if anyone has an opinion on it let me know.

Love it. I wouldn't do the roof white but that's just me. I think it looks just right as is.

White wheels, when they work, look so damn good.

1. Had to cut the opening larger for the camera
2. Had to trim back plate that holds the camera on
3. Had to drill out letters then bond with 3M adhesive.

Can you tell me more about these beauts?
  1. Did you make them yourself?
  2. If, yes, did you get a pattern online or know how to do this already? I have a LOT of paracord around.
  3. Where are they mounted?
  4. What did you use to mount them?
  5. Did you have to drill?
  6. These are awesome. Not question, just a fact.
Thanks!

The white wheels are absolute perfection on the blue rig. Wish Inhad thought of that.

Decided to go out and explore some local fire trails, see what’s open…. And what’s closed. Haha. Starting to map it all out on Gaia. I love that you can see your Gaia map on screen BUT I wish there was some form of reporting for it. Similar to how I can mark road hazards while using waze. Any ways, enjoy the few photos I got. I left my camera and tripod at the front door because I was too excited.

These pics solidified that I'm getting that Yakima rack. Nice and low profile.

Thank you, I was on the fence with them but happy I went with my gut

the wait is worth it

Ya, I love it. it makes mounting a snowboard rack very easy. I am hoping the sliders I get make it easier to access. Currently it takes a step on the rim, then a step on the tire to get access. im 5 11 for reference.
