Lowly Update: Battery box was built but some customization was needed to get the batteries to fit better and be more serviceable once installed: Replacement battery caps, feet and covers were 3D printed to give just a little more wiggle room between each battery inside the drawer: 8 x...

Lowly Update: Built-in cabinet process continues. Sitting area backrest got glued in, creating storage area accessible by large cargo hatches on each side at the rear of the habitat: Countertop and seating area top plates were installed, allowing the back wall storage shelving unit...

Lowly Update: With the entry steps riveted together I took the assembly out to my good friends at Rogue Gear Works to weld them up. This summer Johnny recently broke both legs in an accident so it is great to see him back on the torch! With the steps welded it was time to cut and drill the...

Lowly Update: Steps into the habitat are now and will be sorely needed. It is designed to hook into the habitat's T-slot exterior edging when deployed and slide under the back of the chassis when stowed. Despite its awkward size it will hopefully be light enough to easily move by hand. The...

Lowly Update: With the countertop curing its Tung oil coating I located, drill and installed helical screw inserts into the end to help fasten the right end to the pantry wall. Before the kitchen cabinets could be glued in I took the opportunity to shoehorn in the air conditioning / heating...

Lowly Update: Cabinets toward the front of the habitat are now installed (mostly). With front cabinetry stuck in place, the rear cabinetry was dry-fit. Everything in the rear ties together so it was one gigantic 3D puzzle that took custom fitting for every part. With kitchen cabinets...

Lowly update: Cabinet installation continues. Despite my best efforts to dial in the solid models while designing the cabinets there is enough out-of-square-ness in the CNC cut cabinet parts and the habitat that nearly every part is needing some sort of "customization" to make it possible to...

Lowly Update: Cabinet component installation has begun. Started with the front area of the habitat that contains the fresh water tank: Glueing these parts in place was like setting a cornerstone - hopefully they are in the correct place because everything else will be located off them...

Bump: Price reduced to $15,500 - Sheik

Lowly Update: Dry fitting of cabinet components continues. The interior sides of the electrical cabinet were laid out, components were distributed and their mounting holes marked/drilled for ease of installation once the cabinets are installed. The nerve wracking process of cabinet...

Bump: the disco is still on the market and awaiting its next adventure. Give me a shout if you have any questions. - Sheik

Lowly Update: As cabinetry component preparation continues the various 3D printed parts I've designed to integrate into the plywood cabinets were needing to be fabricated for test fitting purposes. Mount brackets for the two types of water filter wrenches: Mount bracket for the 50 micron...

Lowly Update: Part of the shop has been turned into a cabinet preparation workspace. The backside of a multitude of these components will need additional dados (the side that was faced down on the CNC router table). These will be achieved by layout drawings off the solid model, straight...

Lowly Update: Just back from another trip down the Grand Canyon and the CNC router was busy while I was away. A van full of 12mm and 18mm Baltic birch plywood pieces was waiting my return: Many of these parts need secondary operations (bevels on the table saw or blind slots on the back...

Sunroofs: front, no. rear, yes with no issues. not sure if they leak as the truck has been stored indoors since purchase. 3 Amigos: they've been dormant since I replaced the ABS modulator shuttle valve switch 4Lo: smooth all around - Sheik

Just back from a 20 day rafting trip through the Grand Canyon - apologies for any missed correspondence. The Disco is still for sale.

I do not know the mileage of the P38 engine before it was refurbed. - Sheik
