Considering my last two builds were new vehicles.


Everything. I have better things to do than spend two weeks fixing old crap and then having fun

Alllllrighty then.

Did a ton of sound deadening. about 80% done with it.
Did the wiring for the fan and overhead lights (sent wiring to the passenger rear for when the supplies get here to run electronics)

Picked up a bunch of audio gear to get this thing where it should be, spent the majority of today installing it

Built some mdf panels for the rear. I will wrap these once i decide the interior color.

A whole bunch of stuff should be in next week
Fiamma f65S, dometic fridge, espar heater, blue sea electronics, victron electronics, and some others.
This week will be a bunch of big installs and some more layout for wiring.

Once the Thinsulate gets here from Hein, I can do the walls and actually start building the interior out!

subbed. I abandoned an 80 LC for the van life. I have a budget build atm, but a sprinter might be in my near future.

Subbed also. I got rid of an FJ Cruiser for the van. After I got through with building the FJ, the mileage wasn't that much worse than the van, and I don't have to worry about going over GVW. I see many Wranglers, Tacomas, etc, that are WAY over. I was right at it on my FJ, and that was very hard to design. It's so nice not having to set up or break down camp!
