Congrats! I got to see one of these up close in Australia, and at our Land Cruiser Rally here in Denver last summer and they are really awesome units. I can't wait for you to post up a lot more pics of that thing on some sweet adventures! Congrats!:26_7_2:

Cool tip! You guys have done it all! Thanks for always sharing your expertise. :26_7_2:

Thanks! I am looking forward to coating it here soon and mounting up my new Hella's! :wings:

FWIW, in my search for a stainless sink for my trailer build I discovered Home Depot has small RV style stainless sinks on the shelf for about 40 bucks. Ask for bar sinks. Personally, I think that stainless one you made is perfect! I love how it mounts and looks nice and solid! Drew

I have the old Con-Ferr Style 22 gallons under the bed. :wings:

Man, I was thinking the same thing! Lid is coming along nice too! Rezarf <><

Took a break today from building my trailer and decided to give my old fj40 some new love. :D My lovely wife gave me some Hella 4000's for Christmas, and today I gave them a new home. I started with a bumper I had laying around in the garage for years, cut off the ends, welded them shut, added...

This is a good answer. I love the way the biscuits have come out in the past, they do come out dry, but they don't develop a golden brown crust. FWIW, I have used all kinds of bags, but if you get a small box of the oven bags without a zip you can just stuff them in your camp box and have them...

Check out the marine audio stuff, they make DIN sized covers for open cockpit applications on boats that fit a standard size headunit with a flip down protective cover. Pretty cool really. Rezarf <><

Here is what a bake packer looks like, sorry if it has already been covered before...

My entire menu has changed due to our ARB Freezer! :D That said, my favorites are still. Mac and Cheese, and tuna! (glad to hear someone else likes it!) Personally, I love sardines, fresh mustard (packets) and saltines. I have had good success with the foil packages of smoked salmon and...

Love the setup! I think you have one of the coolest 80s inside the states! Keep up the good work. Drew

Next up was drilling 8 .25" holes to mount them to the sheet metal sides. Then I added two .75" square tubing to span the gap. Just remember that these two stringers have to be perfectly square or your sheetmetal won't sit flush and it will look like crap. I had to recut one weld due to...

Sure- First, I had to figure out where I wanted them, so will some scrap steel and a few levels I was able to mock up where I wanted them go. That made easy work of marking where to cut. Then I layed them out and marked where I would weld in a few stringers to span the gap. I decided to make...

That link has my homemade ones on it. Due to a design change they might be up for sale :( I might be moving towards a little less LPG on board, so I may go with two 5# tanks instead of 2 10#, I have a space issue to overcome. PM me if you want to talk it over. Drew

Dave, I think you are right, I have one of those on the rear of my crusier and wouldn't want to subject the ball to the shock loads associated with a hard pull. That said, on a regular pintle I did it all the time. I bet it would work, but shock loading the ball can't be good in the long haul.

Randy at ABC is the Man! I wish we could clone his customer service, I got my axle from him and it is a great peice, it was custom made for my app and the cost was great! Could recommed anyone else higher! :D

I haven't worked on my trailer with any momentum in nearly a month. Holiday travel, busy at work, cold outside... :oops: I am lining up sheet metal but my contact is closed for the holidays. I am going back and adding side boxes for more storage, I figure that is the reason I built this thing...

Looks great Keep it up! Drew
