I got all of the life I could out of my stock Bridgestones. Moved up to 285/70 Mickeys. Now it looks like a Jeep! Speedo and gas-o-meter are off so I need to update the computer with the new tire size. Thanks to @Discount Tire in Wilmington, NC!

Weekend project, assembled the OVS Expedition Canopy and installed on Saturday.
Then I started building a Unistrut cantilever roof rack on Sunday for my tent, since OVS won't have the crossbars until the 3rd, and I've got plans for my setup this weekend.

I'm thinking underground drawer slides for a solar panel. Wind fairing/valance on the front, and midsized basket. Rear facing lights on Unistrut over canopy hatch, maybe even all four corners of the canopy.

Also received the AirLift 1000s, will try to install them before the weekend.

Installed the Fusion 4x4 2.5 ton steering upgrade. Definitely need an alignment even though all the measurements were identical. Steering wheel is a tad bit off. One thing that came up which I didn't do was cut the brake sheet metal dust thingy. I doubt it but it could have caused the service traction control code. Ya never know.

I've been too lazy to trim it too so I've just been letting it rub

What did your alignment specs end up at? They went .1 toe in on mine. Just curious how yours is.

Haven't done a proper alignment yet just did a quick and dirty diy one to get me in the ballpark. Getting one done in a couple weeks.

I swapped my Diamondback cover for a gently used RSi Smartcap EVOa Adventure that I got for $1500CAD :like:
I just had to order a couple new keys and one Trailrail bed clamp...$40shipped from RSi.

I will not have to load my gear like this anymore...

The Diamondback cover is fantastic but I will be selling it, soon, once I have reassured myself that I'm happy with the Smartcap.
It really just came down to packable space for my outdoor hobbies.
