Exactly what the title states - putting a thread together where we can come and post little tidbits of anything we have done today, and as we build them to our own tastes.

Added some molle panels and a tail gate table to the back of the bronco. It really helps with storage back there. Went with the BroAddic super heavy duty.

Love the lamp patch. I have the plate in front of my shifter.

I like those, plus it would help keep the side panels from getting scratched up so much . Does the passenger side have a cut out for the subwoofer location ?

No, and it blocks the cubby on the drivers side too. I figured I would just cut a hole with a cutoff wheel but these are very heavy duty so I figured I would just add some storage to the panels. Will probably get the window molles next.

I forgot to post, I got new tires. Went with the BFG KO3, they did not have the WildPeaks in stock, and I needed new shoes before Moab next week.

Not today, but lately. . .
At one point this last Winter, I wound up on a snowy trail that had branches scraping both sides of my Bronco that lasted for about a half a mile. It was torture listening to the damage happen. And of course I had to go back through it all to get back down the hill.
I had a million superficial scratches all up and down both sides. Of course, that made me sad, I love the color of my Bronco and the shine of the paint on a sunny day.
So I took a chance and bought a polisher and products from a local shop, Griot's Garage.
I followed the instructions shown on their vid on YouTube.

They advised me at the shop that I only needed two of the steps, I only bought two of the products plus pads.
I don't have before pics, but WOW, the paint turned out great. 98% of the scratches are gone, but I'm certain that if I go at it one more time, the rest will disappear too. The gloss is really deep, even in the not so bright days we've had since.

Lubed my aftermarket UCA's and Icon HD Tie rods. Lubed up the TigerMoth's wheel bearings, suspension and the lock-n-roll hitch system.

That's it, that's all I did..

Love that place.

I can see how it would be dangerous to live close to that store! I am probably down to one order per year now, but for a while my wife was hiding the catalogs when they came in the mail (old school marketing still works on me).

I started using Adams Graphene Ceremic coating instead of wax, but the Griot's paint prep stuff is still the best IMO.

Wooohooo getting close! That’s a nice game of Tetris you have going there. 😉 Cleaned Darryl and reinstalled the Bimini, just in case. And got the travel trailer ready. We pack up Thursday night. See you there.

Has to be a short drum so the mile marker Terry Madden competition series... Specs are actually better than the Warn and it is a $1000 cheaper.

Laziness gets you nowhere, believe me because I know. Flag mount needed to be drilled out. Take it off and do it right? Nah. Drill baby drill. Had to hide the gouges with my cool guy sticker. RLTW! 1/75
