My phone is not letting me easily post updates and upload fotos. It is citing security certificate errors. My labtop immediately lets me know that the site is not secure. Any body else has or had problems?

The roof rack looks fantastic, surprised that you covered your escape hatch and that the storage box latches are on the inside. Looks nice nevertheless.

Funny,, I am sure they love you now...Did they sell you the horn originally? On our last trip we had a section highway close along the railroad and we honked at the engineer while the kids were waving from behind the bus doors.. It was a nice guy so he honked back and we continued this game for...

The impact gun and had problems with the body mounts. Will try again tomorrow with a breaker bar. If not I will slice the nut with the grinder to allow the nut to spread a little. Instead I deconstructed the section over the entrance in more detail. The door frame , bus body and van body come...

So it has been a while and we are still in the demo phase. The front section of the bus is loose.. Now on to the body mounts. They are tough to get to.. Tomorrow I will take a second look with better tools.

Check out Ready welder MIG on battery. Your BMS and wiring is going to be much simpler at 24 volt. For safety it would be best to individually fuse each cell wherever you put cells in parallel. If one shorts out by whatever chance and the other parallel cells start discharging over the broken...

We use 48 volt in our house solar system with battery backup gridtie and outback gvfx3600 inverters. There is not a whole lot of other stuff out there running 48 volt. In our Dory bus build that already was running on 24 volt being a MB euro bus we stayed at 24 volt with 900 watts of solar and...

Valley of the Gods.. Nice, we were there during a 5 month trip out west, albeit with a different setup. Did you drive Moki Dugway towards the natural bridges national monument.? We probably broke every rule in the recommended book.. It was indeed a little tight going around the hairpins.

Wow , cool, Maybe hook them up to exhaust? ;)

Some progress with help from my oldest daughter. Removed remainder of the floor and cut one wall..scalped the front..... Had some pics to share but EP does not seem to allow them...parsing error.. Wants me to use Facebook...twitter..YouTube...?? Let's see if it clears up tomorrow. Hmm it did

Hi Josst, sorry to see that. Good spirits is half the solution.

Today I worked on the bus demolition. Lot of the wall and ceiling were already removed by the previous owner. I removed the front panels above the driver.. There are rivets there that attach the shell to the windshield frame. The insulation was in decent shape but I plan on sprayfoam. Tomorrow...

Haha, Josst, were you trying to crucify that seal? Hmm, but that is weird, do both seals have a spring on the inside? Sometimes you have to specify to get a spring with the seal.

thank you, will look it up.

Looks very nice. yeah what a pain can something be that looks so simple. Why are the plates on the inside of the portals so shiny? What are they for, why did you need you need to replace those.. You like allen style bolts? shiny to Stainless? Do you know what the final drive ratio in the...

With the bus here there is more need for data on the original pivot system that the 404 used. At least to glean the amount of articulation of the sub frame. Not so easy to come by but fortunately Ferretboy at SteelSoldier took some measurements or me. the pivot is 3/4" below the top lip of the...

Krick3tt, yes adapter with 13 degree offset to have the IP clear the cab. Wow interesting, an adapter to LT230..Hmm .. i have a landrover S2 pickup long wheel base with a 2.5 diesel.... project vehicle...and .. there are more. Think the 6BT would be a a bit hard on the front axle of the 404...

Are you missing rollers or the cage?

Looks great, is that only to protect the snorkel? The cab can tilt in between? Are you planning on removable ties between the driver and passenger side or is it going to be tied to the cab?

Yes, Sitec, just what I thought. I got 12.5-20. people say they are to large for a 404 with the 82 HP gasoline motor. I probably will put a very small turbo on it or modify to a OM617 turbo diesel as what many people have done. If I can get a little more HP then that would help with the RPM...
