Alaska Daily Drivers: Hydro Blue 80A and Bright White JTR

Solo missions while the wife is out of town. Thankfully these weren't too bad ?

With such an investment, having locks on the roof top tent made sense to us:

The lighting package is also complete... For now. These Flex Era 4s from KC HiLites hit exactly where we need for solid coverage:

Two questions - what bracket/locks are those for the tent?
And, why back up for moose? Will the cow charge?

The ladders on the roof are an extension ladder that I cut down to make sand/mud /snow traction bars. I think the sand rails that are sold are over priced plus we tested some a few years ago and we found that the nubs actually burned off as we tried to get unstuck

I picked up my locks from REI.

Yes, I was trying to skate around but that was perceived as a threat to her baby. She took one too many steps in my direction for comfort. Better safe than sorry.

...and with that said ?

Traction boards:

Megan and I also started a new phase in the build that I am very excited about. Some of the parts started showing up ?

Nice! I’ve wondered about motorcycle ramps and such but not many “cheap” options. Do the tires grab the steps well?

Have not needed them as of yet, after I actually use them I’ll post up if they work or not, might be a one time use we’ll just have to wait and see

Today I was impressed. @ASFIR 4x4 received our order on Easter Sunday. The skid plate arrived and was installed today....from Israel!! Incredible!

Anyone else got this problem?
