I ended up using 3/4" Aluminum block, some...

water tank shroud is installed. Cut the first wood panel, started raining. So I'll finish that up today along with (hopefully if...
Finally got all the solar in and installed. For the fun of the in
depth portion of this build since everyone always asks what i use, I will divulge into it!
I use renogy. At one time (full disclosure) I was sponsored by them. Even after that ended i continue to buy their panels. They are...
I got alot done!
Skinned the driver side about 90%. I have to trim out the rear part back by the door opening and that top part that is exposed will be covered by cabinets, so not worried about that except for a small part on each end.
Passenger side is next up.
Trying to get to a point...
bit of an update!
Got the other panel and window in with almost zero fuss. got it down to an hour from start to finish. Pretty easy now at this point. Could bust out a pair of these in an afternoon for sure.

I have a really, really bad habit of just taking a bunch of metal and figuring it out as i go. The battery and wheel well compartment are no different. I have a couple sticks of 1"x1"x1/4" thick square aluminum 6061. I like the weight of aluminum but it is harder and more expensive to weld...
Pretttttty good amount of work done today.
No video from this day, mainly because it was just alot of cleaning, laying peel and stick floor, and tidying up loose ends so i can actually start building some more stuff tomorrow (mainly battery compartment and right hand wheel well cover and...
More progress!

Bed is 100% drilled and bolted in. Just needs a skin of 1/2" ply and good to go. Flares should be done tomorrow, I will install sunday most likely.
200AH battery will be here friday, along with a 1500watt inverter to go ahead and wire all...
It's slow progress to me, because I only get a few hours each day during the week to do stuff, but took two hours yesterday to make the bed frame
Still need to skin it and get all the nutserts done, but its there.
