Funny... I got the same 40x50 Surco basket a few weeks ago for $40.

Also check the oil filter adapter. I think there are 2 or 3 o-rings in the 90 degree adapter that can be replaced for a few bucks. Or, you can eliminate it completely and just screw the oil filter right to the block, which is what I did on my '95 ZJ. I really liked mine, but ended up getting...

This is why I love internet forums, especially this one. Thanks for pointing that out, especially since my 9 month old daughter's car seat is right in front of the flashlight. You can kind of see it in the pic that I already installed a Raingler net because I was worried about something flying...

No worries, I got the joke. I will do a write up on them if I get them. The only reason I'm on the fence is that I haven't really been able to find someone who is running them, perhaps its time for me to make my contribution to the internet. Before I order, I'll have to cut out some cardboard...

I'm sure they would sell better if they were not called tactical lights. More info here... http://www.tracerpower.com/remote-sport-light-210-fixed-power.html

$6 for Mag Light mounts. Now I never have to wonder where my flashlight rolled off to.

I came across these Lightforce knock-off's last week, they look kind of interesting but I've been unable to find a ton of info on them, but what I have read, they seem pretty decent...

Bringing this thread back from the dead with a quick rundown of the last 4 years (I don't like threads that just leave everyone hanging). As far as the truck goes, I've not made any serious changes or modifications to since I last posted. We have continued exploring and camping, but I've not had...

Sorry for the delay folks, it has been a hectic summer. Not long after we got back, my girlfriend got an amazing job offer that we just couldn't turn down. The last month and a half has been spent applying for jobs, looking at houses, and getting our current house ready to be put on the market...

If you don't mind me asking, where in Iowa are you from? I was born and raised near Cedar Falls, went to ISU before I moved to Vermillion, SD. Also, props on your storage/sleeper system, looks almost identical to mine.

Installed cruise control on the truck today. It was definately the time to do it with our PINS trip of 2400 miles only a few weeks away. I ended up going with a Rostra kit from M&R Electronics. While the kits seem to get good reviews (it seems to be well made unit), the directions and the rat's...

Thanks for the heads up... I was leaning against bringing her along because of the long drive, but that makes the decision easy. Besides, she'll have way more fun roaming around my folks' farm for a week.

Finally got around to installing a front reciever hitch this weekend. Long story short, my truck doesn't have any recovery points up front besides wrapping a strap around the frame. I'll get some pics posted soon... More importantly, in exactly 71 days the gf and I are heading south for a long...

Took a little adventure on some of the minimum maintainence roads in the area. My girlfriend came along for the first time ever, so I gave her the job of navigator. Really I would just ask her if we should go left, right, or straight at intersections, and she would pick a direction at random. We...

I guess I'm not exactly clear as to what you plan on doing... Maybe something like this, but without the RTT and more space above the cab for sleeping? [IMG]
