Thanks! Brian does some awesome work. He also does a lot of van conversions. You can see his work on his YouTube channel.

Added some tailgate seal to try to keep dust out of the camper shell.

Swapped out my Old Man Emu setup for Icon Heavy springs and Radflo shocks with reservoirs. I look forward to testing thsi soon with the trailer. Even though I had heavy springs with the OME after 120,000 miles I think they were getting a bit soft. I also recently added a Expedition One rear bumper which added additional weight to the back.
Old Man Emu is one of the best budget setups. We just decided to go up a level this time.
Oil is from drilling the holes and not the shocks....

Changed the battery terminals on my main battery to terminal post with covers. Hopefully less chances of zapping myself with my slippery hands and tools.

Took longer than I thought. The negative post terminal is looser than positive side and had to fiddle with it longer to make it fit.

From Amazon. Note just like in Amazon comments the negative is loose on the Red Top battery. You have to fiddle with the metal ring adapter that it comes with. I cut mine in half for a better fit.

Amazing build! What did you pay for that if you don’t mind me asking? I’d love to have a set up like that if it’s not a fortune.

Illuminating my modified shelf with a Brawlee led light mounted to the glass lift gate and wired to the sPOD. Bolted additional tie downs to the shelves and using turn buckles to secure hold the MTM cases (kitchen & camping stuff). Coffee & camp stove in the canvas bag. Organization...

Thanks! I paid $1750 for the build with the installation. You can buy a pre-built platform from his store for $1k and install it yourself but it doesn't have the heavy-duty locking rails or pop-up pieces. I opted for something slightly more custom plus he had to work around my sub enclosure.

Finally installed some fire extinguisher mounts I have had since a boat project a few years ago. Bolted the mounts to magnetic light mounts for easy maneuverability, if my organizational plans change.
New Odyssey battery going in, after a good charge.
Also, picked up some Ivan Stewart TRD Inspired Molle Bags 1.0, from Step 22 Gear. I missed the first offering of these. Did not miss the 2nd run.

Very nice setup! Looks like a high quality mount for your fire extinguisher for sure. Just used my Noco battery charger this weekend as well.

Took the Wife and dogs on a nice long Father's Day drive yesterday. Here's Steen's pillar in central Oregon.

Not today but yesterday I went exploring around some old forest roads in Ontario, Canada!

Thank you!! The mounts are definitely overkill, but they were an industry deal awhile back that I couldn't pass up. Pretty slick, quick release mounts.
The NOCO chargers and boosters are just plain badass. Have the large booster as well.

Thanks for sharing. Love all the gadgetry. NOCO definitely make some nice stuff!

Hi all
I started prepping and priming the in- bumper Wam winch mount for my Frontier.
Its good to get started after waiting two weeks for ups to get it out from the local hub and having to replace the hardware that got lost en route.
The next big step after the winch gets here is pulling off the bumper and grill.
Any suggestions on what sort of tool to use to avoid breaking body clips? They make a special tool don’t they?

Harbor freight or your local auto parts store has them. Usually a set of 4-5 pieces in nylon. maybe $20.
