A little bit of cleaning therapy the last couple of days.....

Scrub down from last weeks road trip to Oregon along with washing the seat covers and giving the leather a good treatment.

Installed a front & rear dash cam combo. 4K front and 1080p rear. Forgot to take pictures of the wiring install at the rearview mirror. Used and inline plug with USBC output for the camera. Overall a pretty simple install that took less than an hour.

Picked up a bunch of the TMAT stuff on a Labor Day sale and been fine tuning thinks to get ready for Raptor Rally III (That's 3, not one hundred eleven, YKIYK ) Also organized my tools and stuff with the various Pelican cases I have. Along with being locked under the bedcover, I will padlock them and secure to the bed with my Kryptonite chain & lock from my motorcycle to help prevent them from going stray. Electric cooler and back-up battery packs not shown but will go towards the tailgate. Some extra space behind the cases in case I have anything else to haul but might not need easily accessible. Everything can be secured nicely and will stay down while off-roading.

And last up was emptying out the catch can after installing it about 2600 miles ago. Measured it with a syringe and pulled out about ~6mL.

Thank you, thank you.... It's been fun researching various products & ideas and implementing once I have figured out what I want. Looking forward to many years and miles with this rig.
