Rear Seat Delete -
I like the idea of using the rear seat area for trips, but my family refuses to sit on the floor and use bungee cords as seatbelts. However, I'll be taking a solo trip soon and decided to remove the seats and purchase a prebuilt platform.
Because the seat delete will be...
Armor Lite flooring + Seat Covers
First the not so sexy addition of neoprene seat covers from Diver Down (Amazon purchase). We do a variety of activities where we get sweaty, wet, or muddy. I have been protecting the custom leather seats with towels, but they need constant attention to keep...
Dear Journal,
It has been a couple of months since my last confession. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much to write about. Life happens and interrupts progress.
Since my last entry, I purchased and installed the Oracle Flush-Mount Taillights. I like the way they look, and it completes the...
That seems like quite the deal to me. They are basically giving the Black Widow package away.
A couple of minor, exterior differences from mine, such as the side step and no bedliner. Mine also came with 37's. I have a tow package, but not the max tow, so no gear change on mine. The MSRP...
I recently did some updates to my front-end lighting and though I would share my experience. I ran into some issues during the installation and found others that had similar issues, but don't know that I ever saw a clear resolution to the issues I was having. And unfortunately I'm not sure how...
All of the Oracle lights and bulbs have been installed. Pretty easy installation, especially if you do all at the same time. Note that I did have a couple of problems and contacted Oracle support for a sanity check. Oracle support was very quick in their responses and confirmed I had done...
I suck at taking pictures. And I find it irritating when people don't post pictures. So now I feel shamed!
Actually, I've made a mental note to go back and add pictures to my posts for posterity. I didn't actually think anyone would read this, especially the Oracle himself.
Pictures coming...
Christmas 2024 -
Recently, I had the opportunity to climb out of my cozy cab, into a rainstorm, to unlock a gate. While fiddling with the less than reliable padlock, I noticed that my Daytime Running Lights looked sad and dingy. For some reason, this really bothered me and therefore I made...
August 2024 - Banks Pedal Monster. I love this little gadget so I splurged for the pillar mounted gauge. The gauge is probably not worth the money, but I don't regret getting it.
July 2024 - Another trip planned to Colorado but this time we are bringing our 4 girls, the Gladiator and the wife's new Bronco. I think my scheme of getting her invested in off-roading worked a little too good.
Only thing I will say about the Bronco is that she liked the RockSlide Engineering...
Planned a trip to do the Colorado BDR during June 2023, so 1st year/phase additions are:
- RockSlide Engineering Powered Steps (the wifes idea)
- Stinger Heigh10 Radio (wanted the bigger screen for navigation, plus added front and side cameras)
- Roll-N-Lock tonneau cover
- Quadratec Stealth...
Week 1 Mods:
- Floor Mats
- 67 Design Dash Rail and Cell Phone Holders
- Removed the side steps, or rock catchers as I like to call them
* my wife and kids are mad that I took them off because they are shorties and have a hard time getting in. In a fit of genius, I took the side steps to...
OK, I did the thing you aren't supposed to do - I bought my rig already upfitted. But stick with me here, because this was an emotional purchase instead of a strategic one. Wait, that probably sounds worse...
So, then a little more history may be needed before you judge too harshly. I've...
