Dude wants $5k. You are way too cheap to even be looking into it

I’m with you completely on that.

I convinced a good woman 21 years ago that a drunk in a bar was a good decision for her.
She can only do better and I can only do worse.

I’m not giving her a reason to change her mind.

Godbless dumb chicks

 

[BLJ]

Far from that.

She felt sorry for dummy and I’m glad she did.

Boy you guys were right about the amount of work to make a rig function properly. I have done so much to this and put in probably 2k more at this point. I have done 90% of the work myself. Of course tires (30s)
were the biggest expense so far. Engine work was first, runs great, no overheating. took out the rear seats and built a sleeping area. Painted the trim and wheels. Tightening the steering is next. Wont even think about a lift until next year. Now, 3 tags to fill!

Show us the sleeping area!

Right now its just half inch plywood (from a Subaru) with a hinge. I plan to make a larger fit and cover with some similar material. It covers the passenger feet area where tools, power supplies and valuables can be covered, or even locked. I am planning a 3 inch type of foam mattress. The boxes are made from 2x8 so that the panel lays flush with the rear carpet. The hinged 2x4 is bolted down to the original seatbelt studs so they are very solid.

Simple and effective! In my Toyota I’ve been wanting to build an elevated platform, with some drawers in it. I’d love to have a drawer long enough that I can put my hunting rifle in and lock it. Without the can it’s 40”, with the can it’s 46.5”

There are some great ideas out there for sure. The overlander craze has really pushed things forward and I'm sure I will use some of those ideas though I like to keep it simple with efficiency and security being most important.

If you want to get away from the proprietary chuck on that Superflow, get a 7/16” drill and a 1/4-18 NPT tap.

Then you can use a standard chuck and standard hose.

I also bought some cheap 10 gauge jumper cables and an inline fuse holder.
You could hear a significant difference when the compressor was running over the small factory wires.
Helped quite a bit I think.

Just a thought.

 

[ProRoad]

Great ideas! Every bit helps.

 

[Steve300xcw]

Thats a clean lil rig.

What all did you have to do to get things up to snuff?

 

[Steve300xcw]

I'd loose those blocks. That way I could get stuff outta there without folding everything up

Is that a current production Superflow pump? Mine is tired and close to 20yrs of intermittent use. I'll open it up and check the insides, but time for a new one.
