Last thing I bought was an ARB awning 2500x2500. Along with the deluxe awning room.
My next purchase will be to do the Big 3 electrical upgrade and install a fuse/ relay setup

So, we all probably have a huge list of upgrades and things we want to buy..
So what is the last thing you bought, and what is next on the list?

Last things I bought that where on the list are a pack of zip ties and some good working gloves :P

Next thing, besides actually getting a Landcruiser is going to be some locking nuts for the spare tire and a spare lamp kit ;)
My latest purchase is a Decked drawer system for my 2017 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab. It arrives today so excited to put it together and get it in the truck

Just got in last week some spacers for the rear end to rake it out a little more for weight/towing and an atlas for a recent trip. Next buy will be determined after some troubleshooting on a suspension clunk recently developed after flexing out the front end on the trail. I have determined it is not ball joints or tie rod ends. I'll pull the sway bar links off to see if it's those or the sway bar bushings, but I can't imagine the links are bad as I just replaced them end of April. If the bushings or links aren't the problem, then I can only assume it's with the control arms, but I'll see how bad they are when I have the front end jacked up for the sway bar troubleshooting. I had already planned on replacing control arms with newer adjustable ones, but hoping I can stick with OEM since they're cheaper. Already planned on replacing the sway bar bushings with new since they're 15yo rubber. Might end up with a whole new sway bar.

The ARB awning and awning room are great, aren't they? I love how easy it is to set it up and the abundance of room they provide.

Been a while since I've ordered anything, unfortunately it's been parked for the better part of the last two months. Wheels were the last thing to go on prior to that, and the next thing to go (in) will be an upgraded radiator, weather stripping, and a different set of wheels because why not.

Be nice to see your rig and some info.
A decently recent photo from the last time I put some actual miles on it back in July. For the most part it's a pretty stock 1989 Mitsubishi Delica Chamonix. Chamonix edition gets me a dual battery setup, beefier alternator, LSD in the rear, and 'upgraded' interior. Though even the upgraded interior isn't anything to write home about.

Wheels are 1981-1986 August Feroce Big Mans on K02s. You can't fit a ton of tire on these without lifting them so I'm sitting on 29s. Have contemplated going to a 2" lift and 33s but haven't seen the need, there's never been something I've bottomed out on to the point where the extra ground clearance would have saved me.

Inside are a few radios (CB, HAM, GMRS, you can see the antennas up top) and an old Japanese steering wheel from Dome (pronounce Dough-May). Outside like I said is pretty stock. There's a Terzo rear ladder, a division of PIAA only sold in Japan, getting up to a Yakima roof rack and ARB 2500 awning. The side window vents are from a Taiwanese company and up front are 4 Hella Rallye 4000 9" lights. Two in pencil beam configuration, two in fog configuration. This is in addition to the two OEM yellow fogs that most of these came with.
