Thanks!

Any advice, or thoughts are welcome.

What should be next?
I’m not sure what advice you are looking for, modifications on the vehicle or how to get started on and what to bring on an adventure.
If it’s about your vehicle, I would suggest that unless you have unlimited funds, pick one of your vehicles and do all the modifications on that one.
If you travel solo most times then recovery gear is a high priority. If it is about what to bring on an adventure be sure first aid and a way to treat water (if you run out of what you can carry) Is available to you. Communication ability when out of cell range is also a must. I believe self protection is also vital.
There is so much more but that depends on what you plans are, how long you go, where you go, travel solo or not. Safety and returning home are, at least for me paramount. Don’t forget to leave it cleaner than when you get there, so a way to pack out your trash and that little extra you will surely find.
:smile:
Safe travels Murphy, I hope this helps a little bit. Always be aware of your surroundings, Rich

Cool thanks, the reason for having two is for possible company, as I'm literally the only one in my county that has any interest in doing this.

So my plans are to "finish" the green one, and take a few trips, and based off of those trips is how I will build the other.

Thanks for the input!
