Looks very nice. Curious, what keeps your water lines from freezing in cold temps?

@NevadaLover Thanks. I was guessing something like that.

@zoomad75 actually I do have a question you might be able to answer. Since I only got the part you see and never seen one of these fully assembled on a truck, can you tell me what the black bracket at the back of the alt mount (pass. side bracket) is used for?

Yep, that's the plan. I have been looking at aftermarket high output alts (likely 175-200 amps) because my solar controller for my lithium house batteries will draw 50 amps (it won't taper off like a FLA or AMG battery) so I want to make sure I am not over taxing the alt, especially at low/idle...

Next on the list was to install the intake manifold I picked up off FB marketplace. It had been installed but never ran so basically new for less than half price. Spent too much time scrapping off the old intake gasket but got everything cleaned up. Then I used a Jaz Products port sealing kit...

Working on my M1010 camper conversion and having read dozens upon dozens of builds, the one thing most all have in common is, it will cost twice as much and take 3 times as long. There are those who have built ones quickly but you find they have a fair amount of money to throw at is and it is...

More progress today. Got almost all of the box stripped of panels and insulation. Lots of rivets to drill out but just have a little panel at the back of the box to remove.

Even Ford Explorers from the late 90's to mid 00's have the engine offset to the passenger side a little. Also common in vans to allow more footwell room for pedals.

Well had a little time to start removing the wall panels so I can replace the insulation, re-wire and close up any holes I find (which I am finding from the Sheriff installing/removing items). Two walls done. The roof and one wall to go.

That thing is a beast and I LIKE it! Looking great!

So last Friday I did some more troubleshooting. Pulled the glow plugs out so it could crank easily. When cranking I was not getting any fuel spray from the glow plug holes which was interesting. I started with checking the return valve to make sure it was not plugged. Cleaned it and was...

That turned out nice! Good job on getting that done.

Man I am seriously loving that rear door setup! Nice job!

Yeah, that's the door I am planning on using from the day I saw they offered it. Love the idea of a deadbolted screen door if needed. :) I have liked the idea of opening up the whole back for a great view but didn't want to loose the standard door option for normal use. The setup you have...

I have not seen a rear door setup like that. That's actually very cool. Can use like a normal RV door but open it up if you wanted to. That's giving me some ideas....

Oh, when I said old school TBI, I was meaning I was going to be looking at a Howell setup, not try to piece one together as you are right, 454 ones are hard to find and likely will need to be rebuilt anyways. What I was after is being a stock type TBI, sensors, injectors, etc. are stuff I can...

Yeah, should be a fairly easy swap but as you know, what should be easy can sometime be a pain in the butt. I am looking forward to being able to accelerate and not use a sundial to time myself. LOL Definitely going EFI of some sort. I am thinking of going old school and use a TBI setup. Not...

Well this past Friday was interesting. I have been thinking about doing something to upgrade the power for this rig. I have looked adding a turbo to the 6.2, swapping in a 6.5 turbo engine, even 6.0l LS and Big Block engines. They all have the pros and cons. Adding a turbo to the 6.2 helps...

That's looking great!

Well, today I got the measurements for the inside of the box and did some scale 3D drawings of what I think the layout is going to be. Definitely trying to pack 5 lbs of crap into a 3 lbs bag. I think this will allow me to get all the items I am looking to install in. Here are some...
