There's only one spot for that and it's gotta be on top of your cab.

there were a few times where i might should have busted a bead but... it held.
Also, im not sure i ever got to 18psi. My deflators are set to that but my TPMS was reading about 19-20. these cheapy deflators i have slow down the air flow as the set pressure gets close. So i end up pulling them off before they actually get to it.
I'll be honest, not sure i'll go through the trouble of putting two up in there. My air-up time was quick enough for me. Its not a race. Besides, others in our group were using M18 inflators on 33s.
ON the topic of air though... I will say, my buddy who has the Apex deflator valve stems... holy crap. he can deflate all four in under a minute. I believe he opens them up for 10secs each and that gets him from 45 down to 15 on metric 36s.
If i do anything with air.. itll be this. He was done airing down before i got all my deflator devices screwed onto the stems.
Also, i'm not sure i'll ever sell that mount. Its too dang expensive to get laser cut then its gotta be welded.
I'm glad i rented the trailer. Helped me learn what its like pulling one down tight trails. I even had to back it up about .1 mile b/c I took a trail the day of meeting up with the group but BEFORE i met up with them. I burned all my backup credits getting out of that mess. I know how but i'm not sub-MOA doing it.
I still have a lot to figure out on my rig.
As far as the toilet... i bought a cassette and its been great. As my buddy says "i want to thrive, not just survive"

Agreed. It works there but it does not work as well as it being mounted up high.
What antenna mount is that?

Its one i designed.
I spent some time maximizing the distance away from the light (so i could use the BAM mounts) but still clear hood and wiper

So i ended up using paracord but only bc i couldnt find my webbing.
Regardless, made it easy to take off and refill.
i dunno how many people do this but i started this on my WYO BDR trip and aint noone presently on earth will convince me there is a better way to maintain access to drinking water.

Dropped the trans pan to change fluid and filter.
Got the fluid and filter from RA. Filter (FT221) was $52.79. Picked up 2 gallon jugs (XT125QULV - $30.79/ea) and 2 quarts (XT12QULV - $6.36/ea).
$150.xx to the house.
My fluid was dark. Im at 68k miles and am not sure if this had been done before.
I added 8qts as Helm manual says to do that (6qt for draining + 2 qt for dropping the pan and changing filter).
After getting up to temp, pulling the fill plug yielded fluid coming out... quite a bit actually and it was fairly dark. I know the TC holds quite a bit of fluid.
Plan is to install an aftermarket pan to get the drain plug once I get back from my trips so i can do more frequent fluid changes.
For those wondering, i used an old amsoil hand pump. Attached nicely to the gallon containers and it wasnt that bad to use. Its also easier to take apart and clean before putting it back on the shelf.
Tools needed:
8mm socket (trans pan bolts)
10mm socket (heat shield bolts & filter bolts)
13mm deep socket (trans pan studs)
13mm wrench (for that one trans pan stud thats behind the exhaust crossover)
10mm hex (trans fill plug)
Appropriate extensions
