...I blame this set of mod's to my poor daily driver Ranger on ScottB and his crazy idea of spending two weeks in the Mojave Desert and Death Valley..:

...I have camped for years (which I pack relatively lightly) and have lived off the land for a month at a time on horseback...My recent camping has been out of the truck for 2-4 days at a time which included such luxuries as a cheap cooler, a fan, and my portable tv...
...For "Camping Gizmos and Gadget's" here's a link to discuss and share them...
_________________________________________________________________________________
...This set of mod's will be geared toward an "Expedition" type vehicle...Nothing to crazy but it should cover some basics..For now I will leave out GPS as the one I want is out of my budget...
...Since this trip will be in March, the Mojave Desert can be from 32*-100*, rain, snow, or blazing heat...
..This build will cover my upgrades such as:
Spare tire
Refrigeration
Power upgrades
Auxiliary lighting
Storage
On Board Air (OBA)
minimizing/maximizing what I want to carry
(more to be added later)..
...I am doing this on somewhat of a budget and by the seat of my pants so I hope others will chime in with any and all thoughts with possibly info on where to find a killer deal on portable Refrigerators...:biggthump

...Some of what I have gathered so far and what needs to be installed...Most everything was bought on a sale or a deal..
...Swapping my 10x10 "Quik Shade" this trip for a 6x10 shade...The space saver size..
...This was a "Doorbuster" special for $39 at 4WP's this weekend...

...While buying parts for the X I bought this U joint press which will be used before this trip and carried just in case during this trip..
..OBA...
...2000 watt power inverter w/ remote switch and usb..
...Hella 500ff already upgraded to 55 watt HID's waiting on install...
...and the start of my spare tire carrier...
