Good project rig. So parts plentiful and cheap to boot. Happy building some day !
What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

i hope it was an ANSUL rated rubber band...
Finished up the fairlead mount. Painted the entire assembly with Rust-Oleum Truck bed coating, really liking that stuff.

I mounted my new inverter inside a non conductive box and created some extra vents to keep the heat down. Now it’s time to start working on the power cords and figuring out the routing of the cables.
Switched to the Disco. Removed all of the plastic stuff on the bumper, straightened it and painted it satin black for now. Sanded the hood and got a few coats of clear on the outer part. Should be ready for anti-glare black in the center tomorrow.

Great work! And chance you could show closer shots of how you mounted your Maxtrax? Looks interesting.

That's exactly what I need to figure out. I know its fairly simple but I'm simple minded when it comes to electronics. That's why I want to meet up with the guy on El Paso.

Much better and easier than my D2 bumper. Your D1 is much cleaner on the front.

I think the D2 could be a magnificent mechine. But I am liking the simplicity of my D1. It's very similar to my TJ, and actually the Disco is probably easier to work on.

I am as well but I am talking about the actual running of the wires. Where am I going to run them to reach where I am going to mount the inverter. I am using 4/0 AWG wire (basically jumper cables) so I must figure out how to run them and they must stay out of the way.

It's just two straps looping around while using the bottom of my tent and cross bars, I will tomorrow but right now it's super dark.

Got rear bumper installed, now I’m doing a little work for some $$$, and waiting on the rain.

This might make a bit of sense but, it's just two straps going thru the side of the board thru the back. I hid it from the outside so it looks cleaner.
I also used a cam action buckle so it was easier to pull to get it tighten versus a ratchet since there's barely any room.

Mounted the new rocker sliders on the WJ
Still need to pull them back off to paint them
