Feels like it's been years (more like late November) but I'm finally to the garage glow up stage where I get to start putting things back in drawers. Gridfinity + Fusion + a 3D printer makes this quite satisfying.

Feels like a lot of shipments have just been falling into a void since the holidays. This pressure regulator was supposed to arrive on the 8th, hasn't been scanned since the 9t, and now UPS is just 🤷♂️

I prefer it to the endless shades silver, dark silver and really dark silver. Non-metallics are interesting but yeah - I really want more colorful options. Then again, this is my project car so I'm probably a little biased 🤷♂️

New tire carrier is on! Not a shabby weekend* project.

Replacing the tire carrier on the Defender with one that won't be as rattly. But it's meant removing the bumper step and drilling six 11mm holes into the rear crossmember.

Stylish? Nope. But I'm the only one in the family who hasn't had to pull over to tie my shoes or complain about my feet hurting once on our NYC trip.

Rainy day in NYC with the family. Spent most of it at the Met and might have traumatized the kids by trying to subway during rush hour.
