Just a quick re-weld of my previously repaired sway bar bracket. Also had the rear seal replaced on my transfer case (it was leaking a bit). Thanks to the guys at M&P Automotive in Cody Wyoming, for working on a Saturday.

Got the fuel filter changed in the rig. Relocated the propane tank on the trailer to fit the water heater when the storage box for it shows up later this week. Hopefully we can have hot water for our trip next weekend.

I installed an external cb antenna on the drivers side pillar of number 7. I can actually hear what the Cobra 75 is receiving now. I test fit a bunch of gear on my trail rack. It sure opened up some room. I installed my can holders on the front fenders and made a spout for the scepter MFC. Then I cut a slot in a Rigid milk crate for the bar of my saw to fit through.

I just remounted my RTT for the summer. Its amazing how many people you see point, take photos, and videos. Just finished packing a bag as I fly to Palmdale California for the next week, will be home Friday evening, and hope to get out for Memorial day. Still a ton of snow up in the mountains, but everything but the fridge is packed in the rig ready to go. Ill find something I can do.

I finished off installing the Mopar Headliners in my Jeep JK Unlimited and took it for a test drive. It really does seem to lessen the amount of noise in the cabin while driving. Whilst out and about, I stopped by my local REI and picked up 2 new 4 gallon heavy duty water carriers from Reliance. They are super-sturdy and are stackable.

I am going to follow the "2 gallons per person per day" rule of thumb when outfitting my rig for the upcoming summer months. It's going to be a scorcher!
Since REI was having a sale this weekend, the queues were super long and I picked up another useful first aid kit while waiting. I guess that you could call this one my third aid kit? This new kit is now tucked in the drivers-side door of my jeep.

I already have a small medical kit in my hiking backpack and a much larger "Comprehensive" medical kit in the rear of my jeep.

Not to much, just took a 400 mile round trip to test the legs on the rig and attend a congratulations party for my cousin now a new M.D. Ox proved himself fully loaded with 8 people. Next trip gear will be loaded and hopefully we will head up to camp and check Ox's livability.

Installed the Slee bracket and mounted the air compressor. Put in the Blue Sea fuse block and wired the fridge and lights into it. Now have to figure out the compressor wiring. Btw- anyone have a recommendation on the fuse size for a 42L fridge?

Depends on how many amps or the wattage of the frigde, then you'll want to add a couple of amps for current loss because of the resistance of the length of the wire. So, what's the amp pull on your fridge in 12V mode?
