Getting back to the handy modifications, at least for me with camping in remote locations an ARB 12v fridge for food and beverages and 12v onboard air compressor for getting the tires back up to spec for the ride back on pavement.

Having done one week living out of the K5 in June out in the Utah desert with two 70L coolers flat sucked. We had to buy ice at every stop to keep our food from going bad and the beers getting warm. I picked up a better yeti knockoff cooler for the next Desert trip but it only slowed down the use of ice. The fridge was a gamechanger. I can load a weeks worth of perishable food and put a supply of water/gatorade and adult beverages in to be frosty when it comes time to setup camp for the night. With my 2nd battery setup I'm not killing the main battery to start on. Still the ARB has so small of power consumption the 2nd battery still has pleanty of juice before starting to take off for the next day. Not being stuck buying ice is the bonus.
