I've got a build thread for my camper with a 30" pop up. I attached my canvas using RV screw rail to a flat surface. The canvas went from the inside of the rail to the outside. On the bottom, I used a 90 degree extrusion, on the top, I used a flat extrusion. For canvas, I used sunseeker UV &...

there's a discord group for these trucks, Dynas, Hiaces, and Atlas. Let me know if you want an invite.

I put together a tauler jack and replaced the handle with a 1/2 socket receiver. I disassembled the jack (4 screws, 1 ring) and cut the handle off, then welded an old 1/2" extension on to the shaft section that carries the bevel gear inside the jack head. Now my handle is a 1/2" extendable...

I suppose I should mention that ARB bought Old Man Emu a while ago, and these are OME bars. Fits most anything toyota pickup or 4runner from 84-94

Here's the website for specific fitment Bought these thinking they would fit my 1994 hiace truck, but they do not. $200 local pickup in Seattle, will ship at buyer's expense. These are almost $300 with tax and shipping from ARB.

These vans are super cool, saw them all over Morocco.

I've got a hiace truck and put a solid box on the back. Visibility isn't great, but a rear view camera/mirror fixed that easily enough. RHD isn't that big of a deal once you get used to it. The stock truck is slow with that HP and I assume low gearing. You may have to regear ($$$) and i've read...

Its possible that the tailights are more complex than just hooking up to a new fleet truck light like you will have on a flatbed. I had to join two separate wires (one for running, one for brake) into a single LED. That required an inexpensive diode to be added. There are lots of aftermarket...

I have a model 3 for daily driving. I installed a high quality 6-50 outlet (hubbel) on it's own circuit and use a tesla travel charger. Level 2 charging has been great for my commute + a bunch. The car recharges in a few hours without fail. Two cars can probably be kept charged with one charger...

this thread reminded me that i still haven't gotten a product I ordered in august, and the seller hasn't responded to my e-mails. I always use PayPal for online purchases for this reason.

Thanks! I just used colored vinyl tape I bought on amazon. The big stripes are 6" wide, at 15 degrees off vertical, the little stripes are 1" wide, with 1" in between. I've seen your previous build threads here. Thanks for posting.

Sure: I have the 2L/3L hotside kit from HD Automotive in Australia. They seem expensive, but it was quite reasonable once I checked out the exchange rate, even with shipping. HD Automotive has an installation video online. One of these kits (notably, the 5L kit with a different manifold) has...

Not much to report on the build since Labor Day. its been nice having a bit of a break, if I'm being honest. I did add some classic Toyota stripes. People just love this truck when they see it. While I was camping over Labor day, a few good old boys came by on their SXSs. I'm getting new...

I've seen folks using packout for this in the back of SUVs and pickups. It seems like it works well. I've always had an issue with the weight and loss of volume that all of the toolboxes have, but there doesn't seem to be a better off the shelf solution if you want drawers

So you are saying bare wire in trays + wago. I guess wago are the least tool-intensive connector. Any length of wire could be field repaired with almost any other length of wire. That's pretty interesting, actually. I'm not too worried about immersion-proof connections. If the house wire gets...

That's great info. Thanks

I'm starting to plan my house electrical. Thinking about things like lights, fans, etc... I would like each source of draw to have a removable connector between it and the main wiring run installed in the camper wall. I'm trying to figure out the best connector system to go with. I think there...

ACO Power has a new Indiegogo campaign for a cube-shaped stackable battery. It's $530 for a 230Ah (12vdc) battery. That's a pretty good deal, and the form factor is neat too. I ordered battery and an all-in-one charger. I'll let y'all know how it works when it arrives. ACO Power already had an...

I got her out this weekend. There is still a lot to sort out, as she is just a shell, but we had fun camping at the end of an old FSR with an great view of Mt. Rainier and Keecheelus Lake in Washington State. Things that are great: Swing out awning: it was great to get leveled then swing out...

More progress this weekend. Saturday was mostly rainy and that was bringing me down a bit, however, I had some more details to finish on the tent. About the time the tent was done, the chance of rain was down to 20% and I decided to try installing it. This pic is from the dry-fit. i clamped...
