You first push the bed frames together which released them from the horizontal mounting bars. Then remove the two nuts securing the mounting bars to the L-track on each side and raise the bars to the new desired position. Re-tighten the nuts and re-install the frames. Takes maybe 10-15...

Continued from above.... And both panels back in the Van. Pretty happy with how they turned out. And a shot of the Mule overhead storage bags. Now I'll let the OSMO fully cure for a day or so then throw the mattress back in. Now on to a few other finishing details...

All together...... Up early the next morning to apply the second coat of OSMO to the boards, then let them dry. Later that afternoon I started the assembly process. I used Loctite 243 on the bolts that thread into the aluminum TRIC-nuts, and Antiseize on the 4 bolts with Nylocks...

Continued From Above.... Deburring the holes. Next I drilled out the holes in the boards to 1/4" and counter sunk them for the bolts. Test fitting the panel. Fits great! One panel down..... And the second panel complete. Next up all the wood panels were sanded to...

Time to get the tops mounted to the frames. Originally I planned on welding tabs to the frame and using bolts to attach the two, after staring at it a bit in the garage I decided to use aluminum TRIC-nuts instead (Like Rivet Nuts) as they would be faster and cleaner than tabs. Here I'm getting...

Yeah Windsor has some awesome stuff in there! Hodakaguy

Continued from above.... And setting up the Router to cut. And away it goes.......This thing is soooooooo sweet! Mike approves! Quick test fit on a frame...yep that should work nicely. While the second frame was being cut we went over all the edges with a router for a...

Time to finished off the bed build that I started earlier last summer. Last summer when I finished the aluminum adjustable bed frames camping season started and I threw some scrap plywood I had onto the frames and secured them with ratchet straps. This setup got us through the summer but...

Time to finally start posting the TONS of photo's from this summers travels, It's been ages since I've caught the build thread up and with the holidays over it's time to start going through pictures and posting about the numerous road trips that we have taken with the Van this summer. So I...

When traveling late at night across the open spaces of NV you can never have enough light! Plus I'm not gonna lie, I love the looks of them up there :) Hodakaguy

Thanks Mate, we've been really enjoying it. I originally ordered the connector from Amazon but they have been out if stock for a long time. This place has them as well: https://lockitt.com/low-profile-angled-powerlet-plug.html Hodakaguy

Big Bore Piston Upgrade!! If I can just get it to fit think of the low end torque......although yes fuel mileage may suffer a tad :D The power piston is out of a 1955 Ingersol Rand KVS Engine/Compressor. The engine is a single turbo natural gas fired V-6 unit that develops 1000hp at...

It works great! See below for more details. Hodakaguy

Continued from above.... Next up I needed to change the angle of the remaining tab on the stock shifter...The vice and a giant crescent wrench made easy work of this task. Rounding the front edge a bit Now to mark and drill the the hole for the new shift peg. Metal painted...

Time for a decent shifter!...... I'm one of the few it seams that hates the Urals heal shifter, I find the heal shifter to be awkward at best and very un-ergonomic, it's located way to high and causes one to lift your foot off the peg and twist it a bit to engage the shifter with your heal. I...

Dumped the 20w-50 out of the trans today and installed Redline Heavy Shockproof gear oil. The heavy shockproof protects from 75w-250 and has a viscosity of 75w-90. The transmission is a lot happier with the Redline, both when cold and hot. Shifts are noticeably less "clunky", especially...
