What brand gas container is that? Any issues with leaking?

It’s a RedRock 20L.
I haven’t filled it yet but having the relief valve on the bottom does concern me. I’m going to look at putting an o-ring in the cap and test it with water before I fill it with gas and hope for no problems.

I took the breather cap off to see what size o-ring to use and found that it has a rubber washer already in place so I filled it with water and set it on the side of the house to test for any leakage.
So far no leaks.

Had LINE>X spray-in undercoating done yesterday on a flawless (currently rust free) undercarriage on my 3 month old Gladiator. Picking it up this afternoon. A friend with a 2020 JT recommended after he had his done when he bought his new. I didn't want to live with a fluid film annual requirement, and I had this done to my Tacoma in 2012. That truck lived 100 feet from Chesapeake Bay and on Atlantic shoreline, outside, for 12 years and the frame never rusted. Most guys living on the VA coast with a Tacoma of that age had already had their frames replaced, under warranty, by Toyota due to corrosion from road or sea salt intrusion. $500 + tax.

Installed Quadratec Stealth LED Auxiliary Radius Cube Lights. Easy install and they work great.

In the 3rd picture it looks like a light bar mounted on the inside of the windshield, is it?

Installed the sun visor repair kit today just because. With all the issues I've read about I thought why not. I like being proactive.

It's not a question of "if" but "when" for them.

Thank you, never saw that set up... wondering what glare would be like, guess I'll look on the tube of you.

Yea that's what I've read. That's why I went ahead and did it.

It butts up against the inside of the glass and has a plastic shield or shroud that keeps the light from coming into the car.

Installed the Builtright RSI Smartcap rear window molle (crackhead) protection.

I need to get off this forum, you guys are always finding a way into my wallet!

Yes, it's the Quadratec Gen II Stealth LED Interior Mount 50” Light Bar. Another easy install and I love the result. Very bright and really lights up the dark! The only con is that it reduces a couple of inches of visibility with the light bar there... but I'm still happy with it.

Expedition Builds on YouTube gave me the idea to cover the rear of the stubby bumper to protect the wiring fro the fogs and make it a bit easier to keep clean, (). There is another EXPENSIVE option that is really cool, but $30 for the plastic and time to shape them was all I needed to do this myself. 3/16th" ABS from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DC7Q7BML/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1), scrap cardboard, a white paint marker and heat gun. Patience while molding is necessary too, but I am happy with the outcome.
