Another day, another chance to try and prepare for my trip. Right now, I’ve been working on getting the truck additions wired up and functional. Installed a backup camera to the tailgate, and painted the running boards with some truck bed liner.
I’ve also got the bumper pieces that need to be welded at the shop. The guy seems to have lots of experience with these types of projects, but we’ll see what it looks like once it’s done. I tried to make the process easy for him by taking off the existing bumper, labeling everything and buying new hardware. Hopefully it goes smoothly! Up next will be painting the bumper, installing the winch, and setting up the solar powered system. I’m hoping to get all of that completed before heading back to Panama City next Monday.
