4wd for sure

Pretty good progress again. Made a loop to hold recovery gear (straps and rope etc on the van left side. will have one on top and bottom to keep tension. Some webbing, a buckle and a pull tab Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Simple yet effective. Keeps from carrying a bunch of bags, when...

Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Got the winch mount and winch all installed and spooled up. E brake works great for keeping tension while doing the KiKi chalenge Then modified my bike carrier so it sits 4 inches higher...

Lights work finally! Couldn't finish the wiring and stuff until i did the panels on the fridge enclosure. Now everything is all wired up and good to go. 110v is golden, switch for the hot water heater to come on, inverter panel, ignitors on the stove and all that jazz. Untitled by Grant...

And more progress! Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Needed to build the unit above the fridge Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr actually used the slide itself to mount half the unit, saves about an inch and a half of walkway space by doing this. Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr shane...

Making moves! Started out building the vertical cabinet. I decided to do it as a separate unit because last time it was all one unit. I couldn't make it as tall as I wanted to in order to fit it in. This way, it fits much better. Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Untitled by Grant Wilson...

Terrawagon makes front flare trim pieces.

Agreed. Ill get my camera gear load on it and see what happens from there. I already have a quick and dirty idea (think jeep hood type rubber latches for boats) to keep it all tensioned if it does. But I like to try and not mess with something if i dont have to

In the last van I built, not having a way to get cargo out from under the cavernous under bed storage area was super annoying. On this one, I decided I wanted to rectify that very early on in the build. I designed the whole rear end so the side panels for wheel well covers and stuff were as...

A number of things, such as finishing the roof, ordering the roof rack from Voyager Offroad and 110 wiring and stuff have been waiting on the arrival of the Dometic Penguin 2 AC unit. I got the version with the thermostat, well to be fancy or something. No heat strip since i have a Diesel...

and again more progress I hate it, because I only really get 2-3 hours after work to mess with it before i have to get home, and 45 minutes of that is spend getting everything set up and cleaning up at the end. So I never get what I want done lol. Finished skinning the passenger side and...

I got alot done today, but it doesn't look like it lol. The ceiling is about 90% up. gotta make some side pieces to fill that gap on the edges, then pull it down, finish doing some nuterts and paint it all. Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Took far too long to do. Put every single piece...
