What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Installed my ScanGuageII in the 4Runner (Anyone know the Xguage settings for Oil Temp for a 4th Gen v8? the one on their page is not working.)
Wired up the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Break Controller. Working on mounting design for the Fusebox area.
Fabed up a pair of magnetic propane tank holders to keep the small propane/butane tanks from rolling around in my drawer system.
Productive day!

Did not take pictures, but got the new 9/16” Grade 8, 4-1/2” bolts in the locating bracket end of the control arms on my 95’ Jeep Cherokee. Everything else under the Jeep looked good to go! Benz.

Send it!
That's the best thing I've read all day. Glad no serious damage was done.Yesterday I installed some (free) skid plates off a ZR2. These cover the oil pan, steering rack and some of the transfer case. I need to get the front skid now but for the money I'll just buy an aftermarket steel plate. Unless I find a free ZR2 unit..... :)
I finally got around to mounting the Maxsa Escaper Buddy traction boards. I couldn't make up my mind on a mounting design so I said screw it (literally). I bought some basic hardware: (2) 3/8"x6" bolts, (4) washers, (4) lock washers, (2) 3/8 nuts and (2) plastic star knobs. I drilled 2 holes through the side bar on my rack and 2 holes trough the Maxsa boards. It's sturdy enough but I am concerned about the star knobs backing off so I added a lock nut on each end until I can find nicer black bolts and lock nut. Ghetto but it works for now. I'll add a Python lock to make them less enticing for opportunistic thieves.

I absolutely love those old school wheels. Reminds me of a series land rover in terms of style. Very cool. Nice to see a fellow CB'er as well.
With the help from Cruiser Brother’s I was finally able to get my Auxiliary fuel tank for the FJ. Took a little longer for the install compared to the replacement main tank due to new wiring and the added fuel pump. I also completed a few precautionary upgrades like wrapping a portion of the exhaust with heat wrap. 
The wires in the upper left of the above photo were later moved. It was temporary until the following day when I ran the power for the pump.

Now with both tanks and the two rotopax I’m estimating the range on my FJ to be right around 1100 to 1200 miles

Installed the new fibreglass antenna and mount, fixed the cable onto the back and routed it through the rear hatch. I'll finish hooking it up and testing SWR later, but I wanted to get this done before it rained too much.
Removed the TRD offroad decals from rear quarter panels of Chuck. Then got him and the Crosstrek front window tinting to match the rear windows.
On my lunch break today, I decided to test my Fozzy's ground clearance before I install the lift next week. She did well with only having 225/65R17s. The Anderson Design Fabrication (ADF) 1.5" lift with 1.5" rear multilink (subframe spacers) will be installed new week along with SuperPro rear control arms, rear toe-links, upper a-arm bushings, and camber bolts. I'm excited to get the lift on and post some before and after pics.

Made some storage for the truck

Installed the cable for my new antenna and tested SWR. The addition of an extra nut to lengthen the antenna got it to <1 on Channel 1 and 1.4 on channel 40. Good enough for me! The cable routing is a little bit mickey mouse, I know, but frankly it wasn't worth the huge effort involved to get it completely hidden behind the wall panels all the way along. From the B-pillar forward, it's completely hidden/protected behind the interior trim panels.

Tailgate table! Always wanted one, but I’m too cheap to spend the money. So built my own.

Gotta get to work on my tailgate table. I already have the CRV table that comes out, but it would be helpful to have another one for a working surface.
