Put the new tires to the test. And I’m not disappointed. Did a little trailing with a buddy. Always a good time. Also got some more Arizona pin-striping done. White does a great job of hiding it.

Thanks! It’s coming along! I may redo the upholstery at some point. Using a fabric that has bias is critical.

I follow YouTube videos on vanlife and it’s really appealing. Looking forward to your progress.
Ya there are some really great rigs out there and youtube is a great way to see others ideas. This is my daily driver so making it as light as possible was key. My build is more of a weekender than a full time van life build and it will mostly see its fair share of forestry roads getting to a trail head for mtn biking and its share of ski hill parking lots as I did insulate it.

For me, an awning is one of those things I don't use often, but when I do I'm so glad I have itinstalled a little awning from ARB

Just installed a stop gap for better forward lighting. A set of H13 bulbs in the stock JK housings. ANYTHING was better than what they were. I will put up photos of befores and after of daytime shots. and a couple of down road shots later on in the night.

I spent the day chasing plastic trim rattles on both sides of the vehicle that became more audible after deadening the metal floor. Funny how that works.

It was. I had to pull my molle panels off and pull the sub and sub box in order to pull those plastic pieces out. It definitely made a difference though and it gave me something to do today.

Hopefully you had a garage, cause it's hot today at least in Norcal. I did was the cars this morning at about 9 and it was already like 80+ degrees.
