we got our rear powerstop powdercoated calipers in, they are nice looking, thinking about ordering the fronts also.

 

I saw those to. Might pull the trigger for the bigger one for the 2 row seat and 3rd if I deside to keep it

 

I'm looking for ones that will fit the back doors. Pull the panels off, attach them to the panels, re-install...might actually be more functional than those replacement panels they sold for a minute back in the day.

Thinking I'd make up some of those thin plastic shims to use instead of the actual MOLLE straps/snaps...say two of them with a section of 550 cord between them. Need to take one of the pouches with you? Pull the cord connecting the two, the shims slip out and the pouch is now free of the panel.

 

Leveling kit and new shocks. Install is Monday.

 

i found out what one of my presents is and it will sort of involve the Ex...i got a GoPro camera and suction cup mounts! but cant open it til xmas eve

 

Got the last Coyote Brown model (14" x 22") from Blue Ridge Overland Gear...was hoping to get two of them - guess I'll have to wait until later in the year when they get another batch made.

Looking at this one for the rear passenger side door:


Should leave me with maybe 1/4" or so between the outside of the panel and the plastic border of the door panel (about 1/4" or so of carpet will show).

Now just need to find one that can attach to the driver side door...that one is a bit wider than the passenger side door.

 

Picked up some MileMarker hubs at Autozone, the spirolock came with them but didn't need them.<input id="mac_address" value="" type="hidden"><input id="mac_address" value="" type="hidden"><input id="mac_address" value="" type="hidden">

 

That would be nice. I was just looking at the hazard 4 backpack. I need a new bug out bag

 

i didnt know there was so much brand named commercialism in bugging out these days..

 

What do these do or are they just for looks?

 

"MOLLE" stands for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment...it's what you see on military plate carriers, tactical vests, etc. The back of the pouches you see on those vests (usually rifle/handgun magazines, etc.) have the same pattern of webbing, and they attach by threading ever platic tabs or more webbing between them.

On both my Expedition and my Excursion I've put stuff in the "seat pocket" and on both those pockets have stretched out and become useless...plus you can't really put a lot of stuff in those to begin with.

This lets you put whatever size pouch you want (and they make thousands of combinations of sizes) where ever you want and it won't stretch out or go out of shape.

...so one will be a first aid kit that has a Velcro mount...the velcro "base" will mount on this seat back panel, then the bag will go on the Velcro. Stopped at an accident? Pull the bag and it pops right off. I'll probably put a small one for a hand help GPS, another for the tire pressure gauge, etc. etc. Jeep owners are all over these...putting them on their tail gates to hold jumper cables, tools, etc.

Some folks might not carry much loose stuff in their trucks...I volunteer for our local FD and carry a LOT of loose stuff, so this works great for me.

I just checked out the Hazzard4 site, I like the guitar case for carrying a riffle, great ideas

 

Very cool idea then.

 

My 6.0 got a few early Christmas presents

1. A new fuel pump

2. A new alternator

It's on it's third fuel pump as the original failed at 46k under warranty. The alternator was the original and it had a good run.
