Built myself a new tilting fridge slide for the X.
Pulled the burned up 68RFE at 50000 miles to put in a new Suncoast 68RFe with deep pan and coolant valve bypass in. 8hours in my buddies shop to do it. So not too bad

I installed my budget ditch lights. Had a couple of light pods and a wire harness from previous projects and bought some $12 hood mounts from Amazon. Wired in super easy to the Auxbeam 6 gang switch kit. They are only 18 watt lights but make a huge difference for seeing on the side of the road and anything that may be grazing just off the road.

I have 4 of those lights on my trailer, and they work incredibly well to illuminate camp. They're also super cheap. They work way better than the have any right to for how much they cost.

Used it to take the 12ga to a church sponsored skeet shooting event.

The insurance company called - asked if we'd like a satellite tracker - we said "yes" (they pay). Went down and had it put in today.

After the last trip I was on, after rolling I to camp in the dark, I realized I needed to add some interior lights to the trailer.
I also added a light to the kitchen box.
Just need get the wiring secured, and the switches mounted to the boxes that are coming on Sunday.

Replaced the engine oil cooler assembly in our 12 jku. Housing has a crack. Will strip the sensors and oil cooler for trail spares. Wasn't difficult just time consuming to remove.

It's a good weekend when you get two installations done and still have time for the family. Installed my Genisis dual battery kit this morning giving me connection points for my ham radio and frige power. Also moved the winch power from the crank battery. (All connections are fused)

Nothing except pick up two sceptre water cans from Lowes on the way back home from Clinicals. Lowes have them on sale for $27 which is the best price I have been able to find them.
nothing new except we ordered roof cargo from this mopar shop online.

Pulled the engine. Removed the trans/tcase and started removing the stuff I need for the other block. I was looking closer at the other block and I think I'm going to tear is down and at least have the block hot tanked. The cooling passages are full of stuff that looks like mud. The pistons are marked "STD" so this block has never been bored out. If everything else checks out I'll bottle brush hone it, slap in some new bearings and rings, paint it up and send it.
About 3 hours of work to get it on the floor, another 45ish to pull what I pulled off, but still have a few more parts to go.

Nice! I wish I had the skills/tools/space to pull off a job like that.
Me? I finished up the install of my interior lighting for the trailer.
I got both switch boxes cut and mounted up.

For the systems that use Group 34 batteries, Jeeps and Toyotas I think, and Group 31 batteries. It replaces the 1st and 2nd Gen Bus.
I got tired of trying to find a cage or mount system and decided to mount my KC Hilites using the factory cowl / air dam mounting holes. Only thing is I think now I need five lights instead of four.
