Seat Cover headrests embroidered with my Groups logo!

 

So I am beginning to prep for my storage build out and I knew I did not want to drill in to the factory tub. I avoid drilling at all costs. On Facebook I came across a company that makes these bolt in panels for a slide they offer. The slide dimensions looked to fit my ARB. Black Forest is the company's name.

Well, the measurements online were a mistake and the slides are made for indel B fridges. The slide went back, but I am keeping the plates to attach an ARB slide. The other half of the plates will serve as a mounting point for my drawers.

Last weekend I took a sunday drive down to Patuxet River Park in Upper Marlboro, MD. They have a 4 mile loop that is open to hiking during the week, and driving on Sundays only. I just needed to get out of the house and get some fresh air and this was on my to do list.

There was a replica of a Native American Village. Here I am in a long house.

The drive started on pavement

What tire carrier are you running?? My 2 door could sure use to have some extra fuel on trips.

 

I use the Teraflex Hinged Carrier.

The titan tank is fairly universal and I imagine it will fit on most. They do have their compatibility list posted based on what they have tested.

 

Thank you for the info!

 

Really enjoying your photos and overall direction of the build!! What are your impressions of the new King shocks compared to the Bilstein units? Also, have you had any issues sticking with the factory wheel fenders? Looks like your roof rack is getting some great use, I guess at this point you have to avoid parking garages all together?

 

The Kings are amazing! worth every penny...

No issues with the fenders, what issues are you expecting? at 4 inches of lift and 35s I have plenty of room. Most go to 37s at 4" but then you are quite stuffed and have no room.

Roof rack will be getting even more use soon!
