Ah, yes. Google made a bunch of changes with the death of Picasa. I need to go back and massage some permissions on the photos. I'm on my way out the door right now, but will hit it later today. Sorry folks!

A Dozen Small Jobs In preparation for our big summer Highway-1 expedition, I've been banging a lot of weekend time on all the small issues on the punch-list. I don't have great photos for all of it, but I can give you an idea of how busy I've been: Added a small hardboard shelf to the...

I owed this thread an update on this subject. The stand is not tall enough to use directly with a single burner under the DO lid to make a "tabletop skottle". HOWEVER, I happened to have some 1/2" tubing scraps lying around, so I quickly mocked up some "leg extenders" and was able to do this...

We'll be departing for our big HWY-1 roadtrip on the 18th, so we won't make this, but I hope it turns out awesome. We haven't done enough of these in San Diego lately! We'll catch the next one, for sure.

Note that that Delica showed up on Bring-a-Trailer. It sounds like it's been imported, but not necessarily registered in CA. Any CA residents might want to make sure that can happen before purchase - that could be a lengthy process.

I think Treehugger writer may be over-estimating the benefits of a snorkel...

I agree. I love the strength and "solid" feel of drawers, but the reality is that there's too many times when I need the full cargo area of my van, or I want to move stuff farther from the rig. Normally I run with the diamonplate truck box (my chuckbox) and the two rubbermaid tubs (with...

Great work! I'm excited to see that the width looks more or less "correct". That opens up a lot of possibilities for us.

Additional info: LATCH can be mildly more convenient than using a seatbelt (depending on who makes your car seat - Recaro makes an excellent pushbutton-release LATCH belt), but once you've installed/removed a car seat a few times, it's not very different. The cheaper kind of LATCH belts that...

Congrats! I'm not aware of any seats that have LATCH built in, but remember that LATCH is all about convenience and offers nothing extra for safety. (It's safe up to 40 lbs, it's just not any safer than using the same carseat with a properly installed lap or 3-point belt. After 40lbs (kid...

Whatever is the minimum, when it comes to awnings (especially for sun), more is definitely better. I've recently upgraded from a hard-case spring-rolled awning to the newer ARB bag awning and one of the big motivators was an extra 2' of overhang. Going from 8'x6' to 8' x 8' actually makes a...

Wow. Sorry we won't get to see you enjoy it when it's done, but hope this is the start of a new trend!

Holy Thread Necromancy, Batman. 6+ years has contributed a lot of knowledge to this subject. There are a metric ton of threads on this subject, most with more up-to-date information.

Helton?

Once you've determined roughly how much current your alternator will be trying to shove into your house battery, here's the ampacity (current capacity) chart to help you pick the size cable you'll need: http://www.usawire-cable.com/pdfs/nec%20ampacities.pdf I've found that the best way to get a...

The other advantage to Anderson connectors is that you can build multi-connector "plugs" in different orientation. When I was building Battlebots we'd configure the different power connections in such a way that they were mechanically "polarized", so that you couldn't mis-connect things if you...

This I don't get. We have a 6' long north/south bed in our ASTRO van, and it's like half the internal length of a sprinter. Heck, I've even got a fridge cabinet forward of the bed. In the length of a sprinter, I could fit anything I wanted...

Only for new members with very low post counts - it's part of the changes needed to deal with spammers. Welcome to the portal. Hope you'll post more about your rig! Here are your links: http://tigerowners.freeforums.org/2016-tiger-rally-f246.html http://tigerowners.freeforums.org/

I've found the best way to rapidly search for something like that on ExPo is to use a few keywords in a google image search. This should yield all the threads that have service body trucks in them: http://images.lmgtfy.com/?q=service+body+site%3Aexpeditionportal.com

Hey, that's nifty. Nice work.
