Not today but the weekend tally includes diagnosing a failing steering rack, disassembling and cleaning the master window switch to get the driver's side window working again, touching up the paint on the sliders finally and putting my axe and shovel back under the seat after having them out for a while to treat the handles with BLO.

Life is hitting the wallet pretty hard right now, so upgrades are one hold till we can get caught up some.

TerryD,
I’m in the same boat with the money this month! Buying the wood stove, then getting all the class A stove pipe and fire stop, ouch! Well, someday we might even get more upgrades done. Maybe next year for me anyway! Benz.

While in there I noticed my inner CV boot is torn and appears to have been that way for a while, so that will be my next project. Those stinking upper ball joints...sheesh I don’t want to do that again anytime soon!

Good evening everyone out there. I did a couple of mods over the the last few days. I got my new tires BFG KO2's LT285 /70 / R17's. I also built my own Overland navigation platform, which cost me a grand total of $45.00.. Full disclosure, I got the original idea from @Lifestyle Overland video, it was a great set-up.. Money is kinda tight right now and so I did some research and found a way to do mine for a little money.. Take a look I hope you guys like it!

I think it was more like 35 degrees because I forgot to calibrate it before we hit the trail! It was still really Sketchy! Butt was puckering.
This was going down the grade towards Cerro Gordo Ghost town! It was super crazy but really fun
