I searched around so hopefully this isn’t a repeat post. Last years poser stand is hard to top https://youtu.be/1rWN9CECdXc

So this happened today. Commander Shepard stopped by (voice actress Jennifer Hale), and she didn’t mind signing my Jeep! Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Also custom plates and tail light covers. I haven’t fully committed to putting the covers on. While I really like him thinking of these, I’m a bit nervous since they cover the light a fair bit. Texas laws says that the tail lights just have to be visible at a certain distance. I’m not...

Few custom parts came in for Mako. Patrick found a pretty good metal fabricator and he went a bit nuts with ordering me stuff. Got some custom pegs for when we’re just out and about: I’m rocking them pretty good right now as I’ve just had ACL surgery: (it involved a mountain bike and a bar...

It’s been a while. I gotta catch the thread back up. Finished: I thought about solutions for this a lot and researched a TON. I wasn’t really happy with a the fuse box solutions. I.E. drilling a hole and plugging with silicone. Ultimately, I ended up taking it straight to the battery. Down...

I recently installed a Len-Tex Lighting 3rd brake light that sits between the tire and tire carrier. Len-Tex is a Jeeper small business company in Texas. Not sure if it would get in the way of your camera, though you drill holes to mount it so modifications would be pretty easy. You do have...

Found the owner --Erin

I really don’t want to melt anything, and please excuse my simple diagram/possibly bad questions. I’ve wired some simple stuff to my sPOD that goes directly to the battery, but I’ve never ran anything to the fuse box. I’ve added heated seats, that have a 6.5amp draw each. They came with their...

After leaving New Orleans we passed through Mobile, AL where we saw this sucker from the highway. We immediately pulled over and spent a few hours checking it out. This is the USS Alabama We also saw a B-52 here; my Dad flew B-52s in Viet Nam so it made me think of him. This particular...

The trip out to Orlando was great; we spent the night in New Orleans which is about half way between Austin and Orlando. In New Orleans we went to visit the National World War 2 Museum. If you haven't been there I HIGHLY suggest it; we were winging New Orleans so we got there about 2.5hrs...

We also needed a way to lock the "trunk" with all our camping gear. So we started creating something that we could bolt from the inside, and deny access behind the seats. This is built out of marine grade ply; I wanted something that would hold up to the elements. The sheet cost me about $80...

Next project was starting to get ready for our next road trip. Patrick and I were planning on going to Food and Wine fest at Disney World Orlando, and camp at Disney's Fort Wilderness (one of my favorite places as a kid). We decided to take Mako and get a soft top so we could enjoy the...

The next thing we did was to trim the splash shield (sometimes on hard turns the tires were hitting it)... I know I could just pull it but eh I figured to keep it till I got a proper skid up there. Adding a black reflective "Jeep Wave" sticker, so I never miss one at night ;) I got black...

a few more photos we found of CO; I love the country out there, and would totally move if we could find work. I could work for a normal software company but Patrick is a designer at Nintendo so he has to stay in the industry for work This is the road up to a trail head for pikes peak; we parked...

Next on the list was a trip to Colorado Springs. We were able to rent a yurt with 10 acres on top of a mountain. We brought the dogs, and wanted to be able to take them on to a big piece of property without having to worry about the neighbors. So I had to make some decisions on what to...
