Added some juice to my solar setup. Picked up a hood solar panel that puts our around 70watts (under the advertised 85w..), also snagged a 100w fold-able panel in case I'm camped in the shade or for an extended length. In total running about 370w, less when in camper is deployed.

With the more frequent fire restrictions every year I decided to pick up a portable gas fire pit, already had a propane tank to match it with.

Unboxed it for a quick test and everything seems to work great!

Upgrade on the truck today. New lowers with 1" uniball conversation. Steering is super tight and significantly stronger! Removed a good amount of play. Will also be much easier and cheaper swapping the uniball than having the LBJ modified every time to work with the heim steering.

This was the last of the ball joints on the truck! Heims and uniballs all around.

After years of floating ideas on hot water for the ring, I pulled the trigger on a tankless water heater instead of a heat exchanger with engine coolant. It works flawlessly! No more cold dishwashing or showers! ️

Easily taps into my propane and water tank. Ready for the next field test!

Trying dumb things so you don't have to! Worked better in my head, a pain to setup but it would sure beat mosquito bites.

Nice to have a 9' safe area. Also looking at pop-up shelters too

Trucks been down for a little getting some front end rework done after someone decided to fender bender me. Thankful they could get me in once again and did some good work on her!

Will be happy to have her back on the road with a fresh facelift! Just need to snag a few more pods! DD+Baja make a good combo.

Last pods delivered! All that's left it to mount the bumper and wire everything up!

We'll see how everything throws after that, what's nice about Baja Designs and Diode Dynamics is that all the lenses are swappable, so if I change my mind I can change any of the patterns or or swap from yellow to clear or vice versa.

Currently have SAE Fogs and combo lenses, may look into SAE driving or flood depending. Hope Diode Dynamacs matches the number of lens options that Baja has made.

Trying to have optimal lighting for all driving environments, rain, fog, snow, sand storms, open desert, narrow canyons, open roads, tight forest trails.

Bumper was also reworked/trimmed to fix damage, additional antenna/desert flags mounts added to give more options as everything had to be repainted.
