Went to Prescott, AZ.to pick it up with matching trailer. Truck had ~100K on the clock and desperately needed some improvements.

Too much Russian porn

No watching Russian porn is just weird, plus most of chicks are flat.

I was trying to move all offroad videos into one place to finish editing them and I may have lost ~250gb of it


Ill be posting upgrades into first post with reference to page they on.

All pics with upgrades are gone, I'll do them again when Jr. returns from ORE next Wednesday. But they won't be as detailed as lost ones.

Alright found back up files (KGB training never fails).

So after taking couple of offroad trips, it became obvious that truck need some upgrades.

First upgrade was window visors from WeatherTech, they didn't have H3t so i ordered H3. But apparently rear doors on H3 are a lot smaller.:huh:
So I ended up using fronts only.WeatherTech visors are mounted inside window channel and look a lot cleaner vs. glued on ones.

#2 there is not enough 12V and 120V outlets in the truck.
So I mounted 4 new 10fuse panels- Engine compartment, under driver side dash, under rear seat, and one in boxes in bed(not done yet). Plus 2500 watt inverter (3 outlets, 2 usb) under rear seat and 2 12v outlets center counsel passenger side and 2 under rear seat. All marine grade 12v outlets with rubber caps.

Then we moved on to the snorkel.Witch was very easy, but i had to paint bracket mounted to A-pillar and screw it in instead of rivets.
