Lighting upgrades is the first thing I did on my OBX I used three of the AUX switches so I can run in pairs or all at once Heretic lighting.

Thanks! I’m having an ARB Dual Compressor installed as soon as I pick my Bronco up. I’m definitely interested in the deflators and tow rings.

I've been considering the ARB compressor as well. I have a portable battery powered Ryobi compressor, but I'm not sure if it is up to the task. Was going to test it all out over the weekend but couldn't find the time.

@M&M Beer - that looks good! Haven't decided what the aux switches will power on this one yet hah.

1970s lowered family hauler vs. 2020s lifted family hauler.
The size difference is comical.

Looking forward to a camping trip coming up this weekend and hoping to get back in the dirt a little.

Well, despite not getting any time to do any real off-roading, the first family camping trip was a success. So that’s a huge win. We went “glamping”. My wife’s first time camping in a looooooong time and my 2 daughters aged 4 and 2 who have obviously never been.
it was definitely a good way to ease them into it, and everyone had a great time.

Decided to use some Ford points and ordered a black badge for the rear.
Got it put on this weekend.

It’s the little things…

Finally got the Mabett rear light installed. Not a huge improvement. But a little. Haven’t had a real chance to test it in the real world.
Packaging was nice and install was pretty simple.

I ordered a roof basket because I've realized that sometimes, we just need more space.
However what I didn't fully consider, was the fact that I probably was not going to be able to clear the garage door with the roof basket installed, and I can't hah.
So I have found a great place to store it when not in use...

It is just a cheap, Amazon special.

I will probably coat it in some Rustoleum or something just in case.

Had a long weekend with the girls so we made a little day trip to an area that is typically very wet/muddy.
it has been so dry due to lack of rain so it was a good chance to go check it out .

Took advantage of the ground clearance yesterday and was able to make it in and out of my flooded neighborhood after the hurricane.

The Defender did ok I guess. But I do want to point out he took the higher line

Been a minute. Time for some weekend adventures!

At the lunch spot

Heading back home

No off-road adventures this weekend but the weather was nice enough to keep the doors off all weekend!

Took off even more color from the Bronco.
