In November of 2016 we took a weekend trip to Ocotillo Wells, CA sporting a couple of new mods.

Mod #11 : Baja Designs S8 20" light bar - Combo beam

Mod #12 : Baja Designs Squadron Sports - Wide cornering beam.

Mod #13 : Flare delete.

I also upgraded UCA's back in the day so we'll call that mod #14 : Desert Products UCA.

The mod pics aren't showing up for me. I like the 'stache on your Tacoma.

In June of this year, my wife and I took a road trip up the coast for her birthday. I was lucky enough to sport some new items. I want to give a big shout out to Pelfreybilt for giving me this awesome opportunity to work with them on the new FJ line. Check them out when you get a chance and hopefully you can join the #pelfreybiltfamily

In July, Pelfreybilt Off-Road took the FJ to FJ Summit in CO. I couldn't get the days off but I'm hoping to be there in 2018. In August we took a trip to Thomas Mountain near Idyllwild, CA. Again, I was sporting some new goodies.

We also added a new member to our family. Hello, Migo.

Sadly, no trips in November. But I did explore Palo Verde in December with the Pelfreybilt family. Here are a few photos from our trip and some photos of the new 4Runner and Tundra products now available for pre-order.

Last weekend we visited Mojave Rd. for the second year in a row. We're now making Mojave our annual MLK weekend trip. Below are some photos from our trip. On Thursday we drove up to Big Bear for some snow camping. On Friday we took off early and ran the Mojave Rd. from Laughlin, NV to Barstow, CA.

They needed the rear for the FJ racing in the Rebelle Rally but my new bumper is on the way. The old bumper was created around a swing out which they won't be making anymore so it worked out. Their focus right now is on the 5th gen 4Runner swing out bumper which is fine. I can do without the extra weight at the moment.

So yesterday was pretty exciting. I have a little bit of knowledge when it comes to wiring but I could never get it as clean as the photos you see online. I paid a visit to Mitch at Adventure Wired yesterday so he could give my wiring a makeover. Below are the results.

Mod #38 : Powertrays' Switch Pros/Blue Seas Fuse Block panel

Mod #39 : Blue Seas 6 Fuse Block

Mod #40 : Slee Off-road's battery extensions

Mod #41 : Adventure Wired
