Hey - saving 6 ounces is 6 ounces! ?
I dig it. But now there’s more Jeep sh1t in my garage. It might be better to have the weight.

I will readily admit this isn’t an expensive mod or complicated, but I found some MOLLE waist packs at a military surplus store for $14 each and now I have convenient storage for my bungee cords (mounted port side, shown in pic below) and ratchet straps (mounted starboard side - no pic for proof but pretty sure you already have an idea what it looks like). Bonus: what I need is now in the bed exactly where I need it vs. under the back seat, and they are way easier to deal with than those coil packs @WILDHOBO is working on. ?

It’s the simple things that I love most. The stuff is off the floor and you now have more room. Nice addition.

I wish I had a garage..... For now I have to work outside on the dirt. All my stock removed JT parts are occupying a good amount of space in a corner of the basement though. It's annoying but I don't want to start selling them until after a couple more years. But - looking at how hard some items are to acquire for my TJ and LJ - maybe I should hold on to them as an investment for 20 years ? :LOL:

Our garage is tiny. Vehicles don’t fit in it. I’m with you, working on it in the snow, mud, whatever. But my tools fit in it thankfully, so I shouldn’t complain. :)

Added this Last Boks for grocery getting and things like that. Easy to put things in the bed and get them back out. Also put the X4S tonneau cover on last week.
That’s nice. If it weren’t for dogs, I’d definitely get one.

They actually clip in to the D rings on the sides so it doesn't slide out on accident. Easy to take out as well if I need to use the space for something else.

No pictures, but nothing different than any others stock Overland (yet).

BUT... My new bumpers were delivered yesterday. Good Lord willing and the creek doesn't rise, I will install them this afternoon.

Over the weekend I got my co2 air system final parts in the mail, got the tank filled up and tested it out!

I deflated my 37x12.50x17 tire to 15psi and aired it up to 37 in about 1 min 35sec, much much much much faster than my small overheating smittybuilt compressor. It could be faster with an adjustable air regulator, but I stuck with the slower, pre set 150psi regulator in hopes of simpler=more reliable.

Bonus points that the blue matches very nicely with the truck.

Until I read your statement about the regulator I was surprised it was that slow. I do 4 37’s in 60 seconds total. It takes longer to unwind the 4 house system than the actual fill does. But my regulator does 250psi. Hooked up to all 4 at a time and that ends ip being about 185psi to the hoses, which are rated for 200psi.

So I've only had my jeep for less than 3 months. The only exterior cleaning I've done is a wash. That is until today. So she got a wash, clay bar, polish, ceramic and wax. Just in time for rain tonight but she sure is purdy :)
