It makes sense. It’s just waste heat otherwise.

I wasn’t thinking that- just how durable/tolerant it is to the sloshing was my question/concern. Sometimes these things break when “worked” constantly.

I posted this on Defender Source as well but I want to pick the brains here too. The long title is because other than Series I, the wear width is the same on Land-Rovers. I was all set to pick up four of those wolf pack boxes for the back of my truck. Then I realized that they are too wide to...

I was just thinking about this… Every so often I tell myself I “need” a saw for fallen trees etc. then I imagine the aroma of pre-mix to compliment the hypoid and single malt currently dominating the defender interior… So, being a Milwaukee fan boy, I thought I’d look into that. I may SMDs but...

Oh, wow! Tat's a big deal! My avatar is on the ice road up to Tuk in... 08 maybe? can't remember what year that was.

Doe the mechanism tolerate the float sloshing around all the time? I think that is made for a static tank, but I could be wrong (and why I mention it). Looks interesting if it doesn't care about sloshing.

Another option is an inline flow meter. I have some around that attach to a garden hose. Made to calculate large volume chemical mixing etc. they are very cheap. Place in outlet line and you know what you used.

Get a stainless steel ruler… open top and dip in. You can calculate volume per inch based on length and width of the tank. Print and laminate a chart with the volume per inch near the filler.

Get a set of left handed drill bits. Use these to drill for the extractor, as the heat and counter-rotation from drilling are often enough to not need the extractor. And if you break a lot of extractors, you might consider a couple carbide drill bits. These are a few good videos on broken...

Nice to see a carefully conceived build. How did you get to Tuk in the warmer months? Rivers are thawed too thin and no roads?

I still have my Ibis Mojo from the early 90’s… all top line components too (Paul’s, Cook Brothers, XT/XTR, ti Ibis handlebar… They are worth what you get paid for it. Unfortunately, not a lot.

I’m not up on all the cool new gizmos and not shooting professionally any longer either. In 2001 I had a Domke bag that sat between the seats in my 88” series. Stuff got very hot (I was shooting film only then with a pair of Canon F-1s) Later I moved on to the EOS format (1-V) and finally...

If the rear lights will be for backing only, mount them (or something else) lower. If it’s high the shadows thrown will make it harder than without rear lights! Kinda like fog lights which need to be low to be useful. They could be tucked far under the rig to avoid being wiped out on the trail.

The temperature and volume are fine for showering. And a cup of tea. I don’t even use the tiny water saver head I used in Africa- just the one that came with the shower valve. Yes you must clear the clear water side of the plate or it will be damaged in freezing temps. And not 32- that would...

Fun thread!

Roof racks are necessary evil. Weight up high, protrusions to catch every branch off road. The biggest “sins” I see with roof racks is them being loaded upon an empty vehicle. Yes, your spare looks super-cool on the rack like you’re all expedition n junk, but pack the heavy dense things low and...

All set guys, thanks.
