Awesome dual spare setup! :ylsmoke:

Almost finished, jsut need led tail lights and to remount the plate.

I need to drill some stopper holes so they stay open on funny angles.

 

[Cruisn]

A little closer to finishing my rear bar, led lights installed. nothing to fancy, simple setup, they are very high quality lights though.

And of course on board air is nice, but having a 9L tank to help out is even nicer. welded this up for me and a mate.

Top notch job. I may use your idea for my rear bumper, only mine will have one spare as I don't have the need for 2.

ya, my plans require 2 spares. I like to head out into the bush. remote is key. I failed to have the wagon ready last year for the anne beadelle highway, but this year i will be good to go. september I figure. spend my birthday in the desert

More work completed tonight, finished welding up 1 of the drawers.

THey are 900 long by 400 wide and 300 deep. lots of room. and very strong but not to heavy overall.

Spacecases thanks to Matatak for hooking me up.

780x380x380
Will be used for me and the womans clothes and stuff.
adds 10 poser points. not sure on what that converts to for hp gains though..

I am getting a little more done this weekend.

I have installed my aux tank so far, whihc bolts to the body. using 4 m12 bolts and large backing bars as to not rip through the thin sheet metal.

its a tight fit. very tight.

New gas cap:

For those that are intersted its a long range automotive tank, 58L capacity. come with everything you need for the install. including electric pump to transfer fuel to main tank. its a little pricey but to get the weight off the roof and underneath in a proper tank it was worth it.

 

[Cruisn]

well, both tanks are in, I can now carry 190L in tanks.
132L main
58L aux

win win. install was not straight forward. bolts didnt line up. pipes didnt clear.. it was not the best thing to do on a sunday. when you need the rig monday. lol

Main tank in:

Had to cut for clearance:

Issues with filler neck, had to weld on a pipe at 90 degrees to the tank.

The filler setup, I still have to edit the cover so its all hidden and the road spray doesnt destroy the hoses.

 

[Cruisn]

Drawer are in and finished... finally. my god that was a drawn out process.. in between finishing them I had time to do an engine swap!!! haha

I am happy with them. could be a little smoother around the edges.

enjoy:

tested them out, haha. no sag, worked great!!!

 

[Cruisn]

New parts day!!! yay!!!

I recieved a Redac 1220 dc charger to keep my deep cycle battery running at top performance.

6m of wire to go along:

And because for once I would like to know what is in the tank I bought a new fuel sending unit and gauge.

Holy cow, you store her in that drawer?!?

With the extra tank and all that extra fuel weight, how bad have you noticed as far as handling and "trailability" goes?

yuo bet, its all good. I open the door and ask if she is in a good mood, if not, dont open the drawer. its win win.

as for all the extra weight, its fine until I am at full load for camping. then she shows in the back and the front feels a little different, I am going to look into airbags to level it when its loaded. as when touring after 500km I will lose enough weight to even out a bit better. it doesnt handle it power wise okay. its not fast, but will jsut chug all day.
