    My Perfect Ambulance Platform?

    It's coming along nicely. The wainscot is a cool idea. i ordered a bunch of 3M laminate, but it's a son of a B to get on so far. Sadly, i just had to replace the transmission on my war wagon, so no prettying has been done.

    Ok. Another splurge has happened. I picked up a yeti goal zero lithium 1000 last night to run my fridge and lights etc. I like the ease of use element and compact nature of them. costco has some weird exclusive deal on that model and the price is almost half of the 1400 model. I’m impressed with...

    Chinooks were initially the top choice for me, but I could t swallow the 50,000 price point for a Baja model and call me crazy, but I was diesel crazy. Any pics on your new toy?

    I managed to get some work done this week. My timeline for overland expo west is evanescing FAST!! The elevated bed can be considered done at this point. I opted to go for an easy pac stow away and solid 2x4 approach. I splurged for charge ports and some dim lighting options since my “stock...

    Water alternative to the gerry can

    very off the beaten path, but i was looking at my pool umbrella and noticed that the "weighted base" was just 4 flat water containers that are leak-proof, heavy duty and have a nice handle. I'm not sure of the capacity, but ive already caniblized them as spare water for washing, dishes etc. They...

    The bed platform is evolving. i decided on a front to back format and used a robust 2"x4" frame with 3/4" tri fold ply on top. I wrapped the tri fold in outdoor carpet to limit slip and look nice. ill take some pics when it stops raining. It ended up as a 75" x 55" (full) which is basically the...

    Kaiju the 4x4 ambulance build

    A brief update. My removal of the passenger side cabinet has been largely successful. I’m amazed at how well this thing is built. The challenge now was how to cover the gaping hole using repurposed material that was in the cabinet since it’s all painted and finished in the correct color. I had...
