    Here's some Roof Top Tent, LED lights, and the cooler











    What do you guys think?

    Looking for Ram Mounts for the computer and a new AC inverter

    Other than that all I need is to finish the wrap, awning, OME springs, and a water tank. Looking forward to my first camping trip/hike this spring!

    something close to 17-20, didn't change much. I drove 250 some odd miles through Alaskan bush on three quarters of a tank.

    Look pretty sweet! If you got rid of all the rear plastic, you could have used sheet metal to make some nice shelving or cabinetry, solving your oil storage problem

    As far as MPG, folks, don't forget, they have real gas in Alaska, not this crappy blended stuff. My Expedition went from 10ish mpg to 12ish mpg when I hit (Wyoming I think) on my way to Moab. That ethanol garbage gets horrible mpg.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    I was thinking of taking the rear plastic out but it kind of scares me to remove so much. I already cut the cladding every were, so it shouldn't be too hard I guess.
    All I need is some more camping gear and some OME springs and I will be good to go!

    I also need more PCV's losing one every 400 miles or so especially after a long haul. Why does that happen?

    I may have to look into that, haven't changed mine in 3 or 4 yrs
    As for the plastic,its amazing how much wasted space there is. Only downfall, more road noise, I am filling the hollow panels with that expanding foam from the hardware store. Should work like a champ.

    Checked my PCV valve today, still rattles. Wonder why some go bad quickly while others do not? It is just the cheap autozone model in mine.
