I installed 5 x BFG KO2's on my landcruiser, and a new stereo and front speakers in the Patrol with reverse light wired in. Fitted new reverse light on top of the Patrol spare wheel carrier.
Fitted new stereo into my landcruiser aswell, am happy at how much improved it is over the factory landcruiser one.

I'm new around here! I'm getting my rig ready for Northwest Overland Rally (NWOR) next weekend here in Washington.

I addressed the corrosion on my wheels with 3 coats of satin VHT and 2 coats of clear:





Then I mounted a 100w Renogy up top to keep my Goal Zero Yeti 400 charged. After running my fridge for 48 hours, the yeti was still at 100% capacity:





And finally, I mounted a full size spare on a donated Lexus GX470 17x7.5



It just fits!

I decided to call work early (10AM) but still had 60 hours for the week, picked up my daughter and did the mirror lake scenic highway. River was flowing good from the melt off, still a bit of snow near top (@10kft), but a nice drive. On the way back home I called REI and they got more of the america the beautiful all parks pass in, so I swung by to pick it up and found this nice rig from somewhere in Cali, home of the OLB crew. But no stickers/ badges from OLB. I was half tempted to leave one of my challenge coins taped to his driver window. Oh and I hit 30K crossing back into Utah on I80.

Funny story, and I have all of you to thank. In my post above I showed off a FJ that we ran into at REI with my daughter. Well today my girlfriend is out and about down town and my daughter freaks out telling her to stop for a minute. My daughter leans out the window of my girlfriends car and snaps this photo and says "did you see that sweet rig, me and dad seen it yesterday". HAHA Got the family keeping an eye out for the rigs now. Thanks guys.

I tried to sort out my floppy windscreen wipers out, new wiper wheelboxes, striped and greased the drive mechanism and checked cleaned the motor. Need some rain now to test them as I didn't have time to get the garden hose out. Only one screw left over (the exeters) after putting the dashboard back together.
