📍 Meet-Up 2024 🏜️ WEST TEXAS/BIG BEND OVERNIGHT MEET UP

[AndyD78]

My goal is to install the ARB twin compressor that has been sitting in my garage for way too long and an aux in bed fuel cell to extend my towing range. I was debating on picking up a Midland GMRS radio, but will probably stick with my handhelds for now.

I have builtright panels all over. I want to work on using the mounts I have to get permanent mounting places setup for my gear. I need to convert my fridge/freezer DC cig plug into an Anderson plug, so it will charge more consistently in the back of the truck. For some reason, the cig lighter plug it has doesn’t stay connected. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to bring my portable solar charger station, which I’d rather not do since it’s heavy! I’m sure there’s other things too.

I am getting my ARB twin installed with aux tank. Honestly, I am waiting until after the meet-up to make other mods that I want to do because I want to see the mods and products others have made. That way I can pick their brains to see if they would have still made the same decisions and see what vendor has the best products.

I guess it's a typo....They have it ever year, first weekend in October. It seems bigger and more organized every year.
