2 1/2in Clayton overland lift. My buddy and I installed it last weekend. And took the family to Assateague in MD this past weekend. Dropped the tires to 20psi and it did great!!

Great stance!

I cleaned out the gunk that was blocking our washer fluid.
As other people have noted some kinds tend to settle into some goop and clog the pump inlet.
The hoses are easy to disconnect by squeezing the collar, and you can blow the lines clean with a little bicycle pump or whatever.
Then I suctioned all the fluid out, rinsed/repeat, then refill. Seems to be working now.
This is just a little bit, there was way more I dumped.

Yesterday i washed it and sprayed on a second cost of cheapie wet ceramic coat. Mostly to help with road grime

in the process noticed some scratches from weekend exploring. None of the roads I took were exceptionally tight. Only brushed a couple green branches once or twice and not very hard. After washing saw a bunch of scratches. :-(. Less than 1500 miles. Knew it would happen. Just not so soon

what was surprising was scratches at the base of the fromt door sill area where boots and/or jeens brushed the paint when entering or exiting

is it just me or does this moder paint seem super soft and easy to damage??

Metalcloak arms installed today

Not all today, but over the last couple weeks.
Designed and built my own Molle panel, I didn't like the current ones on the market and some of the prices were out to lunch especially with shipping and duty to Canada.
Plus I designed in my own plate to hold a Yaesu FTM-400 XDR above the mirror.
I have to repaint or powder coat it as I rushed it to get it on the truck, but once its done I'll have to figure out what else to attach to it, maybe a small first aid kit.

Took to the dealer to replace the factory Uconnect 7.0 head unit, again. This time the left channel shorted internally no sound out of the left speaker. Atleast covered by warranty.

What do you use to do this? I thought scanners like that were not common.

Nothing major or exciting. Looks like I have months to prep for the 2022 to come in and replace my 2020. So, as I can afford $ I'm ordering in some small stuff to make the next time better, like different fog light brackets for the steel bumper.
And when there's time and/or opportunity, refreshing the hardware for the bumper and other parts.
Today was prep more bumper bolts for plating, and a bit of time plating the 8mm clip nuts for the front bumper. These were clear zinc and as they were from China, the plating wasn't great and they had already started to rust (but the bumper is fine, just the hardware so far)
So these got stripped of all zinc, cleaned up, soaked in hot caustic cleaner, and plated - (I like the gold or yellow zinc color better LOL - like who sees them when installed)

As far as what I did "to" - this is more "getting ready to do to".

I used an Iphone 10XR (using the front LIDAR sensor) and a program called ScandyPro.
It's not the greatest solution but it works well enough with some basic measurements. I did all of the design work in the free version of Fusion 360.

ok you have my attention.
So can you send the fusion 360 stuff to a 3D printer?

The Molle panel was cut on my friends CNC plasma table, its just some 10 gauge steel, nothing to special, easy enough to bend with a brake.
I also designed a triple gauge holder in Fusion360 for my 1989 Honda Civic hatchback. For this one I took a picture of the adapter that held the aftermarket radio in the din slot then brought it into Fusion360.
Once the design was done, I sent it off to another friend of mine who owns a 3d printer and he popped this out for me.
