    Something super simple. I had this wizgear thing forever. Saw someone else use it for their Baofeng so I took the idea. Now it won’t bounce around the cup holders or armrest.

    enjoyed watching the first 4 pages of your build. How has the paint on your rims been holding up. I'm not liking the 2 tone finishing on stock TRD wheels. Do you mind declaring what kind of paint you used?

    Thanks! I used Duplicolor Graphite Wheel paint, then 2k automotive clear coat. They held up really well, including many times off-road. I’ve since sold them, had them for about a year after painting. They still looked great.

    Nope. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it up today, but my son and I are going to head up early tomorrow morning. A few of us were talking about heading out to the Cinders at some point and running another one though.

    When I got to Sedona, my dome lights and puddle lights all went out. I replaced the fuse, and it promptly blew again. I just had a guess that it was the grille light. Today I disconnected it and everything works again. I’m not surprised, it’s just junk, but it looked cool. Guess I’ll need a different one.

    Saw this pic today. I really dig this tire carrier. Sits low so you can still see out the window. I’d really like to build one, maybe a little differently so the empty spaces can be utilized better. I’d set the rack even lower, and move the tire closer to the passenger side to maybe offset the gas tank weight, and this would leave space for gas and water storage. My traction boards would be installed on the face of the rack, with the jack on the rear deck rails. That way I can install both swing cases I purchased a while back. Right now, only one is installed, the high lift jack is installed on the other side. Of course, color match is a must. Only issue: the wife will take quite a bit of convincing on this one. “Off-road safety” is a pretty good argument. 142459AE-7D1B-49B4-9F49-8912751A64B1.jpg
