    Got the truck washed up today. It cleans up pretty good!

    I got the Bison Gear Drop Down Tailgate Table installed on my GX and it is awesome! I am loving this upgrade and the functionality it adds to the rear cargo area. Check out the video below.

    I got the Unique Style Racing Tail Lights for the GX470 installed. I think they turned out awesome and massively improved the look of the rig. They function great, but obviously this is primarily a cosmetic upgrade, but one that I think is definitely worth it if you want that blacked out look. Check out my video below.

    A few weeks ago, I picked up the Malone Profile 18B Cargo Box for those times where we run out of cargo space in the GX or my wife’s Ford Explorer. Check out my video going over the features of this box and how to install. Overall, I am really happy with the functionality of this box and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to take on and off.

    Got out in the snow for a little bit today. Happens about once a year here in OK so had to test out the rig in it.

    I got the Auxbeam Switch Panel installed in the GX and wanted to show you guys the high-level install. Future videos will go into how I am wiring lights up to this, but that is pretty straight forward.

    I got in on the second round of Garage Alpha TRD Grill’s for the GX470 and made a video going over how to get it installed. I love how this updates the front end of the GX. Let me know what you think!

    I installed the Desert Does It front seat jackers and multi mount panel in my GX470 and I was amazed with how much it improved the comfort of this truck. I thought these may primarily benefit taller people (which I am sure they do), but even being average height, I noticed a drastic improvement with how comfortable I feel in the driver’s seat now. The multi mount panel also adds a very convenient place to store various items like a knife, radio, emergency escape tool, fire extinguisher, medical kit, or whatever else your imagination can dream up.

    Definitely give Desert Does It a look if you would like to improve the comfort of your adventure rig. They make seat jackers for a number of different vehicles.

    Discount code “OKADVENTURES” will save you 10% through 05/31/2022.

    Not exactly GX related, but it is overlanding related! I recently got in the Camp Chef Rainier 2X from Overlanded.com to test out, and review for the channel. It is a really cool camp stove that gives you a stove and a griddle all in one. Overlanded gave me a discount code to share with all my viewers so watch the video to get that if you want to pick this stove up for yourself.

    I installed the Roadshock Ditch Lights (Flood version) from Harbor Freight recently and was really surprised with how good the light output was from these budget friendly pods. I used the JW Offroad ditch light brackets to mount them and the brackets are rock solid. If you are looking to step up from the cheap Amazon pod light options but not quite ready to drop $250 on a set of pods, give these a look!

    Check out this video I did of the OKMO G1000 Power Station. They are having a sale right now if you have been needing to upgrade the power supply for your overlanding setup. So far, I have been really impressed with this unit but I will be continuing to test it out and share my experience with you all.

    This isn’t directly GX/Overland related but it will live in my GX so I feel it is relevant!

    I recently partnered with Refuge Medical to make a video going over their Adventure Kit 2.0. This is an extremely thorough emergency medical kit to keep in your vehicle, whether you are just commuting around town or on an epic adventure. Refuge Medical gave me a discount code to pass along to you all so check out the video to get that and save a few bucks on some life-saving equipment.

    Love the gun metal TRD wheels. I have a black 2009 GX. I was going to do black wheels, but decided I like the gun metal better because of this picture
