Super Brat!

Mucho Gusto for the compliments comrades! Cheers, I'm actually sitting in the tri-cities airport right now catching up on emails. I wish I was up here in the Ute, but it's for work. The private sector is so slow right now, I'm stuck bouncing around supporting DOE projects.. Something...

Cheers! Dad is still very much in the honeymoon phase with the van. He'll call me laughing from rest stops with stories of passing suburbans going up hills in 3rd gear. It's a great combo, and they're out there. Try this nationwide craigslist searcher...

Vanaru My Dad had a similar request and budget last year so I did one of those Subaru swapped westy conversions for his birthday. It took 8 days and came in well under 10k. The trick would be finding a mechanic you trust to do it affordable or finding a decently priced example. The thing will...

Cheers! Minor update: Had time for a short trip to the mouth of the Mattole. Very interesting area. I set up one of the external storage compartments with a trash bin fastened inside, and then a small door from inside the box that you can open and throw the trash out. Keeps the box cleaner...

Cheers, will do! I'm stuck in Washington State for a few weeks so no progress to report. It feels like mid-life-crisis time, but I already have a toy and just want to retire.. Thanks! A sink and tank are on the list but no shower or bathroom. I have a black 20gal water tank w/a pvc shower head...

I did a search and can't seem to find a source for these "windoors" you guys are talking about. Anyone have a lead? I'm looking for side windows for my box.. Cheers, N

Cheers man, thanks for the props. I actually broke my finger on day 6 and subsequently winced when that hand touched ANYTHING for the next week. Wrenching heavy metal on a tight schedule with an injured paw sucks! They were a junkyard score, 100$! :) I found the area in the junk yard that had...

I know, good thing you didn't warn them! The roof ideas keep changing and I can't decide! It started with something simple like cutting a hole and attaching a westy pop-top, then ideas.. A usable roof patio became a priority so now whatever happens will need to support it. I'm contemplating...

Cheers and thanks! I chose to go with Chris's (UJOINT on here) leaf spring based 4wd conversion. It was worth the money to me to buy from him vs fab it up because I literally only had two weeks to get the thing up and running before work started. It was crazy. Logistics required arranging 90% of...

Wow-Thank you VERY MUCH! Reading your guys replies pretty much made my day. Can I leave work and go surfing now please? I'll answer Q's best I can- McCoy Miller was very kind in supplying the specs and eng dwg's for the rig. I was impressed with how well they stuck to spec on the built-in's...

a few more pics Cheers!

Hey, -Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been tinkering on a backcountry/tow rig for the last few weeks and thought I'd share. It's barely started but changing shape enough to qualify I guess. I moved back to the states in early September and picked this up in Louisville, KY when I...
