Dont stop until it sounds expensive
Ok so Update time, Lets seee..... last entry was 7 years ago. Well ****. Ill try to start around that point. Now some of this may or may not be in complete order and some of it I have no idea the time stamp but here goes.
So after the 14 bolt and roof rack build I added some things.
First Ill start with the Roof rack. First I installed the Hi-lift jack (which as a bonus now that ive had it over a seven year period I will say ive only used 3 times . once for actual off-roading and the other two times for taking out a tree stump and a fence post. nice to have in a emergency but for the weekend warriors like myself. put that money towards a winch IMO. Ive had to paint it twice and lube it a few times but again it sits in the elements
Next was a Fiskers axe and mount : I chose the fishers because at the time the dimension s of the axe was perfect and it came with the mount. Ive literally used this thing one time. and by the time we used it to get a fallen tree off the trail I rather would have had a chainsaw. the blade out of the box (which I never checked before using it) isn't the sharpest. this thing is practically a ornament on the truck at this point. Funny story about it was I was doing some work at my dads and needed a Axe. so without thinking I DROVE HOME TO GET A ******* AXE. only to realize and laugh at myself an hour later that I had one on the truck the whole time lol . I will say though the axe has stayed relatively rust free in the years
Also at the same time I added a couple of cheap EBAY rear flood lights which aren't that great but they do help to a point. As a matter of fact they do still work to this day even though one of them is half full of water
I finally got around to using a heat gun and heating up the plastic on the snorkel body was able to bend it and mold it little by little to better contour the A pillar. Still needs a little work to this day but doesn't cause any door rub or branch issues now
Not pictured was the best "combat" collapsible mounted shovel I bought from a swap meet. was told it was military grade and to an extent It might be true but I believe it was better as most "military grade" stuff sucks If Im honest. I used the shovel many times to dig myself out of sand or get some max-traX boards under the truck on wheeling trips. as of today though the components in it are failing quickly as rust and the elements have gotten to them.
TAKING A BREAK WILL ADD MORE Tonight
This was shortly after buying my first home in Jersey CIRCA 2015 ish.
Also to mention the following months were kinda a dry time for the truck as home Improvements and a deployment followed.
