Im drained. Getting to the point where i have to take some time off lol. on top of 40 hours a week, i am averaging another 25 hours on the van, and its catching up hah. I think i may take a few days off after this weekend (or maybe this weekend) The Van Compass suspension came in and opted...

aww thanks man. I just try to figure stuff out the best I can lol

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...

So glad you asked as i glossed over the fact that it has a second locked position that barely cracks it enough to vent.

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...

It sits on top of the wheel well completely. There is about a 3"wide flat spot on there. Its held better than the last one i did lol. Though, I will most likely make a support there at some point to go under it

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...

I use standard zinc coated rivnuts. I dont like stainless on stainless rivnuts because of galling when driving in with the impact, especially if there is some resistance or pulling stuff together the odds of seizing and being really pissed off are high lol.

Not a ton of pictures, just doing a bunch of small work that takes time. "Fabricated" some roof rails so I didn't have to negotiate the large number of holes in the roof beams. used some 2" x 2" aluminum angle with some slits and bends and then rivnuts to the side of the roof cross beams...

Did alot of fabrication these past few days. Working on editing video, but here is some . photo and talk about it. Built the bed. Materials used include 1 x 2 x 1/4" rec tube for the frames, and 1 x 1 x 1/4 for the overlapping section for the recliner Basic frame is welded up Untitled by Grant...

Installed me some window! The Tern Overland windows are pretty much the bees knees IMO. Super solid construction and huge opening radius. Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Untitled by...

A big issue for me while in arizona was having to air up and down like 3 or 4 times a day depending on where i was going. With the weight of the van and handling, I don't like to run low pressures on the street. I don't mind the TIME it takes to air up and down, but more the process. It sucks...

Im ok with that.

Got my Van Wife Components headliner in. Covered the bottom with carpet (yes i prefer carpet to tweed and other materials) Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Swapped out the hardware for some stainless (Of course, since that's what I sell lol). Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr Took some time...
