Cabinets & Shelves - Laying Carbon Fiber in Core Edges/Faces Ohhhh Boooy :oops:😬, this one kicked up a bit of anxiety for me. Being at the one yard line of wrapping up the CF cabinetry and shelving work, I didn't want to screw this one up and have to do ANY re-work. Basically, any exposed...

Wow; it has been over a month since I last posted. Sorry everyone. I hope everybody had a good 4th. Lets start with a Humanness Check In...... I have been grinding away on the build non stop every day and more importantly, the build has been grinding on me 24/7. I'm mentally, emotionally and...

GREAT PROGRESS!

Thanks trackhead, much appreciated! I'll take a prescription for five professional expedition builders for two months, pro bono of course. And, make sure one of them is an expert in composite work please ?.

Thanks so much ITTOG ?. I do have to think about traveling internationally to remind myself what I'm doing all of this work for. It's about the only thing that helps. Although, these long days that turn into weeks and then weeks into months, in the blink of an eye, can easily put me in the...

Thanks Craig!! Every now and then a guy needs to hear some words of encouragement (y). "AMAZING" is one word for it. I call it an ABSOLUTE AZZ KICKING amount of work. If it wasn't for having hundreds of thousands of dollars into the project, I probably would have already pulled the plug. In...

Tabbing Interior Composite Carbon Fiber Cabinets & Shelves - Continued.... It all looks a bit rough because of the lighting, peel ply marks and different shades of black, but everything came out smooth after pulling all of the peel ply. A light skim of fairing material to blend/fade the edges...

Tabbing Interior Composite Carbon Fiber Cabinets & Shelves Oh no! Not tabbing again? And miles of it! Come on build, give a guy a break. Six and a half (12-14 hour) days cutting the CF cloth, peel ply and plastic for this first round of tabbing. I'm not kidding, SIX AND A HALF DAYS...

Prepping Interior Cabinets & Shelves for Tabbing The bed catch rail needed some additional structural fairing, after bonding it. The pass through wall to bed platform corner was rounded off and the bottom of the catch rail squared off, so there was a bit of a gap to fill and I knew it wouldn't...

Composite Carbon Fiber Bonding - Vertical Closet & Frig. Stack So this next round of posts represents 20 days of work. It always amazes me how long this stuff takes. I guess that is the story of the build I should be used to by now :confused:. When someone asks me how the build is going, I...

NIIIIIICE!!!!! Thanks for posting pics.

Sorry for the belated reply. I have been head down nose to the grind. No cold butt cheeks or pee pop cycles for me on this trip, as I'll hopefully be having a two year endless summer :cool:! I do like the yellow though; it brightens things up ?.

Hey ITTOG. During the resin infusion process, the side that is face down on the layup table (bottom side of the layup) comes out smoother and shinier. The top side of the layup gets peel ply on it and I chose the type of peel ply that leaves the surface slightly rough/textured. This type of...

Thanks for the input and pics Craig; I appreciate it. I saw the outside vent on your build and assumed it was for the composting toilet. Nice to know that there is no odor. I will chew on it a bit and decide if I want to keep it coming out the side wall, or have it terminate out the back wall...

Sounds great related to the spare tire carrier. I'll be in touch. I spoke with Reuben several times when I was considering their subframe and a TC box, as well as when I switched over to building the habitat box myself. Yah, they are not cheap and when you tack on shipping, it can make you...

Is this a DDG Overland spare tire carrier as well, or was it fabricated by someone else? Also, is there a build thread on the rig in the pic? Thanks in advance.
