What did you do to your AT4 today?

Not an AT4, but I pulled the chrome inserts on my 22" Denali wheels and I'm having them spray painted gloss black, along with the center caps and black lugnuts. This will complete my blacking out of the truck. New grille and valance, new mirror caps, new tailpipes and black wrap on the chrome side of the running boards.
The last similar one I had, with capacity label missing, was confiscated by Chinese airport screening security during a brief stop at Guangdong airport; brings back bad memories
. Never purchased a replacement.
I finally have use for the 120V inverter built into the truck on the passenger side end of the bed; connected a usb charger to keep rechargeable flashlight mounted close to the outlet, fully charged whenever the truck is running.

Busy weekend. After waiting 17 days from ordering, I finally got my wheel and tire package. I spent hours looking at offset calculators, looking at pictures, and doing endless math to make sure I could find what I was looking for. I wanted a wide concave spoke wheel that didn't poke much and be relatively flush, but I could maintain clearance on the uca and bumper. I went with a 22x10, +10 offset, with a 305/45 (32.8", .29" larger than stock) semi aggressive all terrain tire. Paired with a reverse level, all in all, I'm happy. I considered going up and doing a 35" tire like I did on my last truck, but I don't offroad much, and I like my fuel mileage. Don't mind the dirty pictures, it was -1F, so the carwash is temporarily out of the question. After that, I started building my mount for my on board air compressor. Relocated the jack from under the rear seat to make room. I think it will fit there perfect. Cut out a mounting plate, and made a panel for a battery cutoff switch, then tig welded them together and painted it last night. I added the battery cutoff switch just as a safety measure. I have kids and a dog, and I don't want somebody accidentally hitting the on/off switch when the truck isn't running. Gotta pick up some mounting bolts and wiring odds and ends today. Then I can focus on where I want to mount a small tank.
I drove down from BC yesterday and the first thing I did was wash the truck, wheels and underbody with shampoo/hot water; it was drizzling however it didn't stop me washing/cleaning the truck since temperatures were above freezing although have provisions to wash it inside if my mowers were not parked over the 8' floor drain. Now you know how I keep that machine looking better than showroom condition. Its crazy because its going to get messed up again when I drive on wet and brined roads today
, only to wash it again when I return.

Thanks! Yeah it's bad here, no matter how wide the wheels and tires are. I spend most my time in northern pa / southern ny, and neither are afraid to use the salt. I try to at least run through the self spray car wash in the winter months when I can to keep rust at bay. Supposed to warm up today, hopefully I can give it a rinse.
