Great investment! I have one in Hideous and will probably be installing one in White Scout.
Got the Premier Power Welder all installed. Such a nice piece of equipment. Can't wait to practice some welds with it.
They are waterproof!
Helping my friend Cam out with the CPT Long Travel kit. Super nice kit and makes me really want to put one on my scout in a sua configuration. Very nice!
New fancy Yankum fairlead
Got a 1.5in tierod from Ruff Stuff. Finally got it welded up and installed. With the bigger tierod, I was now able to use a tube clamp for the hydro assist. While I had it apart I also welded in some trailer leaf perches that I am using as bump stop pads. This way the bumpstops won't roll down the axle tube.
Don't zoom to look at any welds. They are not the best. Still trying to re-learn stick while using the Premier Power Welder. Should be stout enough for bumpstop pads.
Here is my setup for all my recovery, Trail-repair, and tire inflation/deflation. I carry a bunch of stuff.

Took my son on his first snow wheel trip. Homie loved it
Finished up my first homebrew 2.5in exhaust. Used some Vbands and a flowmaster 50 series delta flow. Made it a single exhaust and overall very happy with it. Going to be making a heat shield for the bell housing access cover. Will post pictures once that is done. Noise level is pretty minimal with the 50 series but has a good rumble to it. Haven't had any drone problems at speeds.
Went out to Fish Lake over the weekend. Had to show the automatic guys why a manual is superior in spring snow. Ended up having to break about 4 miles of.pretty deep soft snow for them. My family has been spring snow wheeling this road since the 70s.
I wish I had more wheeling buddies that are not afraid to get stuck in some snow

Very wicked. I wish where I am that we could snow wheel but the Snowmobile clubs lock up all the trails. Plus salt.
We have 3 main road systems that get closed down from November 15th to April 1st. Depending on the winter. Living in a small mountain town in the heart of the Cascades has its perks.
New Radiator and a dual battery setup. Currently just have it in parallel.i am still trying to figure out what isolator i want.
First winch test with the Dual Optimas. Thing rips. Did a full pull of 125ft with zero drop in voltage. Going to be pretty slick for the spring snow and my side gig for offroad recovery
Happy Fathers day to all the other cool dads out there. Spent my Fathers Day at the beach. My Nephew who is named Scout ran up to me and told me i have a cool big truck.
Didn't realize that is the most rewarding thing. Making kids love trucks. Got to show my twin bro all the work that's been done lately. He hasn't seen is in about 4 years. Good day!
