Allwine JK Build Thread

[kenallwine]

Still working on storage. I just ordered the MPAC tail gate rack with the STAT bags from springtail solutions!

Here is a video on the stat bags:

I like this solution for quick access.

Ken, if you need a hand with some installs on your rig dont hesitate to drop me a PM. I owe you one..

Those bags come in handy. I have a few in my JK since he used my JK for mocking up the products. The one for the center console comes in very handy too.

Thanks Overland! I'll let you know.

JeepinJon: I have the center console too! Well almost. They had a shipping mix up and I got the console piece for an FJ. The right one is already on its way.

I just checked the Compact Appliance website; looks like they no longer sell the 12 volt fridges with compressors.

They have the 43qt one listed here, currently on sale for about $400 with free shipping,

They also have the 63qt listed on sale for an extra $50 ($448.20)

Looks like they also carry Engel ones too

I am thinking about ordering mine soon. :victory:

I ordered it Feb 13th. I don't have it in hand yet though.

Finally made a bit of progress here on the JK! I got the Gobi rack installed, the sPod Source box installed and mounted the ARB compressor with the brake booster mounting plate:

Mounting Bracket for ARB Compressor:

Now I need to start getting stuff wired! The Hella lights I just put on the rack yesterday are just sitting there...

Made a bit more progress yesterday on the JK. I am currently working on the 10lb propane tank mount. This will be going on the Gobi Rack. I still have to build the upper part that will be hinged with two tension clamps. Here are some junky photos from my phone.

I've been working on the jeep very diligently lately. Here is a link to the thread where I build the storage system:

I just finished my LP tank mount for the roof rack

Here is what I did for my 10lb tank. For padding and to make the fit a little tighter, I used some low compression foam tape

Ken,

The build is looking great -- that has to be one of the beefiest propane tank mounts I've seen, and the other thread w/ the drawer and fridge cage looks great as well. Definitely liking the setup.... when do you head out west so we can put it to good use? :ylsmoke:
