What did you do with your DII today?

Removed the passenger side bump guards and stock fender flares and started to sketch installing the +50mm flares.
Don't know the brand, was in the clearance section at lrparts.net
Got these as I thought they are a decent price, and they do not require cutting the body.
https://www.lrparts.net/lrc2277-disc...ial-offer.html
Specs say that now I can fit up to 31" tires with 2" lift. hmm.. I do have equivalent to 33" (255-85-16) in there with 3" lift and they fit just perfectly.
Is this the proper alignment for the rear. So that the flare sits on top of the panels on the gap?
That Gorilla tough and wide probably would hold them on better than the stock double sided tape that was very loose by now.

Installed a rear view camera the other week and finally got around to the rear camera part. Same one that @wahoowa2009 installed.
wires go up in the headliner at the edge and then I pulled just the panel at the top of the rear door and snaked it down by the cubby, through the wire cover into the rear door and just drilled a hole in the plastic handle cover. There was already a hole in the door so no sheet metal cutting. Mounts to a license plate bracket (sold separately. One of the screws didn’t work so I bought some #4-40 screw at lowes to mount the camera bracket to the license plate bracket.
great picture. Cheap and quality device it looks like. It’s wide enough of a view I can see past the rear tire so no rear blind spots unless yours right up against the car.
great way to have a backup camera without doing a big screen on the dash with a new headunit

Not much other than drive both discos like we stole them..however I do have the new iKamper Skycamp 3.0 sitting in my garage and just waiting on a custom Voyager rack to be delivered (hopefully end of this month) and then we will be out every weekend we can camping and wheeling this summer.
I didn't plan on buying a rack but I will say that I was very pleased with Andrew from Voyager. Prompt responses and very willing to build me exactly what I want. With the tent I need a flat surface from front to back of the rack so no roof contour like standard SD or voyager racks (I have no sunroofs so keep it as low and tight as possible) and no upper railing. It will still have the light guard hoop just braced differently as well as lighting tabs around the rack but on the bottom of the tubing to not interfere with the tent. Very excited to receive this!
I had picked up a voyager rack last summer that was in a rollover accident for peanuts basically and had hopes to create what I wanted but the front portion was just too mangled once I got into working on it last month and was essentially going to mean building a rack from scratch...which while that would be a fun project I just don't have the time right now.
