Went to do a little wrenching on someone else’s vehicle but ended up dead in the water after it was discovered the planned Cupola doesn’t appear compatible with the existing hatch. (Sigh) Some accessories not compatible with other assemblies. I suppose if it was easy, it wouldn’t be as fun...
Removed regular single antenna and mount. Replaced with a pair of offset mounts and new antenna. Need some radio gear now. And a cargo cover. And a winch. And rear winch. And. And. And…..

I also have a sister ship. I’m fortunate to have a very knowledgeable enthusiast nearby who compensates for my lack of experience. There’s never a shortage of vehicles to wrench on and he’s very generously allowed me to get my hands dirty in an effort to become a knowledgeable owner. I tried to...
