Swapped out the white bulbs on the bumper lights for some yellow bulbs. Makes a nice difference while driving in bad weather.

I put new bulbs in the headlights on my wife's Chevy Traverse. I had to access the bulbs by going through the wheel well and removing the inner fender liner. Dumbest design I've ever seen.

Not much today, starter battery is running flat, too many short trips in the dark... I'd like to say I took it for a long drive but settled for plugging it into the charger. Spent a few hours trying to work out a decent cooking solution. Would love one of these, ideal size for what I have in mind but bit pricey for me :-(

Thanks for this. I have something similar to that already. I like the box design of the Partner Steel version better and obviously the size. I guess more goes into making them but they are £450 here in the UK and I can buy a cooker for the house for a lot less than that.

At this point I could put on a clinic on "stripping the interior of an access cab Tacoma"

I drilled holes in the roof to mount antennas,
I removed two previous antennas, and installed three replacements.
Re-wired, and cut to length all of my coax.
Cleaned up power wiring under the center console
Installed a 110v and 12v outlet in the back of the truck for my daughter
(I'm sure there's more)

Three antennas on the roof, plus a GPS now.


Coax and GPS cables enter the truck, MFJ box is a Duplexer and splits 2m and 70cm to the appropriate antennas


Moved the APRS transmitter back to where I can access it.


Power distribution under the center console for all the radios, and the rear 12v accessory.
The 12awg red and black there are 110v from the factory inverter (which is at the very bottom of the picture with the white connector


Cleaned up the wiring to my dual band antenna. Routed the cables under the carpeting (Power is too, it just comes out from the front.

Replaced a leaky power steering hose and a couple rusty exhaust clamps. Thought I might be able to tackle the cracked header, but ran out of time.

I actually just ordered a partner stove. 22" with the narrow grates just over the burners and a few other things. I really like how the knobs are also protected. No way can you break one off.

I replaced the factory radio with a quad core android based head. The new bezel was poorly designed so I am still finishing the dress out, but it works great!!DSCN0455.JPG DSCN0457.JPGThen I got to thinking about that rack in the back of LeeLoo.. and figured I could set up that Traveller hitch rack in a similar fashion. Just got to decide how to anchor it, and give it a coat of dark texture...DSCN0453.JPG8)

Washed the Wj today and took note of quick repairs that need done. Looks good clean. Looks better with trail dust though.
@WJ_David can't wait to see that head unit installed. Did you have a double din or the din and a half originally? Looks like something I may want to steal. What unit did you go with?

I had the DIN and a half originally. This one is double DIN and required a lot of cutting to the inside top of the dash. The bezel manufacturer wanted me to cut into the vent ducts, but I said no way and went upo instead. I stil have to anchor it and trim out the sides, but I have a full bezel left too cut pieces from. The unit is a Pumpkin quad core minuys the DVD player. $279 at Amazon

Yesterday expertly maneuvered my Jeep between obstacles, got some dirt under the tires and used some recovery gear! (I backed through the narrow vehicle gate in my fence to pull a couple of small trees out of the backyard because digging is not fun.) Today I had an hour to work on my bumper too.
