In Hot Pursuit

[Sparksalot]

Started working on a platform for a cooler or fridge. The side toward the center is open to allow stowing seldom used stuff.

I tossed a pillow up there to see if her highness will sit that high. I might end up bringing the platform across to gain storage.

Trip earlier this week to a portion of the Oklahoma adventure trail. I had driven up this about 3 hours before.

This was on Monday. In east central Oklahoma.

Was doing some maintenance today and noticed some chin pinstripes in addition to the new ones on the sides.

Finished up the fridge platform. Now I need a fridge.

in the meantime, the overland hound has another perch.

Have you chosen a fridge yet? Are you going to install a dual battery system or solar?

Not completely. I’ll probably do the Alpicool 45 with LG compressor.

I actually have dual batteries already. Factory equipped in my case. There is a fresh pair of matched AGM batteries in there. I just rotated the 4 year old pair into the other wonder twin, since power demands aren’t as high there.

One of the benefits of the police package, in addition to the batteries, was an auxiliary power feed into the cabin. Under the Dash it splits into 3 separate 50 amp feeds. One under the dash, and two more in the rear.

i have very basic dumbed down solar in my teardrop. I may get a little more advanced and experimental here.

I was tired of tripping over this piece in the garage. Surplus from the other wonder twin.

it’s the base plate for the post of a laptop desk. View attachment 182587View attachment 182588View attachment 182589

I added the DIC switches to dash to unlock a bunch of info. Wiring harness was already there. I also was able to turn off the Auto Unlock.

Now I need to gently modify the trim piece to add the switches.

[maybe I should start a thread so I can remember what i'm doing? hahaha]

That’s essentially what I did. Also one place I could go back to if I wanted to share something from a past post.

This is my build thread on the Tahoe forum. I talk more about each of the twins.

The twin hoes

I had a serendipitous chance to snap the twins together this afternoon. For now anyway, Lola has a white hood.

I’ve learned a ton about my rig and how easy some things are to modify. Also how much is already in place for options you didn’t have etc.
