Hope you are going to post some progress pics. Lo-Pro bumper is on my list of mods. [emoji16]

I don’t, but I do have some pix of the build during the process on a hard drive. I’ll try to find em and put em on here.

I will. Just finished phase one which entailed removing a gazillion bolts and clips so could remove bumper, etc. Next up is cutting the plastic bumper.
Good luck HappyOur! It's a little nerve wracking, cutting and trimming. Well worth the effort though, I love mine!!!
Just installed my new Midland GMRS 275.

Replaced the alternator on @DieselPoweredCamel rig after it failed last night ( sucked for work today but glad it happen now as we are leaving Friday on a 4 day trip) and while we were at it upgraded from 105 to 130amp alt with new belt. Than while he did his much needed oil change ( as he said he was 20miles past lol) I did a cheap auto parts store 5% tint on the front and rear windows of the shell to help with heat mitigation. Didn't do a great job but meh for the price as long as it works on this trip and works as proof of concept then I will have them done professionally when I do the truck windows.
It wasn't 20 miles past... little over 220 is more like it. Hahaha. And 3 more days man. 3 more days. Also, not to self. Files, crowbar, and a mallet are the best tools to have when needed. Hahaha.

Rachel and I picked up the truck today from Full Awn Fab after they welded the sliders on!
Hopefully they won’t be shiny too much longer... next up, bull bar and a winch or possibly a rear locker. We haven’t decided.

Drove up to the Cheam Peak trailhead with my daughter and we hiked to the peak.
Saw a sweet JDM CR-V at the foot of the mountain where the blacktop ends, too!

Finally got around to putting my snorkel on. Finished it yesterday but forgot to take a photo. Also installed my newest sticker from OB.

Added some protection up front after a run in with a high schooler and later that week a mule deer, I have to add 2 gussets to the frame and it will be ridiculous, it's solid and will protect OX from the speed bumps out there. Also found a winch plate that will carry my 12.5k winch just need to install all the parts, and for those in the know, I am still dealing with the fallout from my supercharger failure, CEL is still popping on after 65 mph. OX still running great but she will be getting a major tune up this spring. Wish me luck. See you all on the road.
