Modifications for 2009

[xcmountain80]

For my 2002 4Runner I have plans for dual battery tray from www.ruffstuffspecialties.com $80 and the National Luna dual battery solenoid do hick a ma jig from Equipt Expedition Outfitters $150ish. These two items will be completed in the next 2 weeks and will be posted in my 4Runner build thread. I also plan on acquiring a AT Chaser trailer $10K and rear bumper $1200 but in no particular order. While I will try my hardest to stimulate the economy I make no guarantees.

Well, for 09 I will be getting KM2's for the Dodge in a week, hopefully finishing up the OBA system, and get the bed and rockers Linex'd. That should help a bit with stimulating the economy.:smiley_drive:

I'll be interested to see how your dual battery setup goes. Are you talking two in the stock location or what? This has been something I've wanted to do for a while but never got around to figuring a way to secure #2.

I will be focusing on the Land Cruiser for mods this year. Still deciding the configuration...

 

[xcmountain80]

Yep 2 in 1 if you will. I originally wanted two odysee batteries but they weren't in the budget, and I already had two red optima's I already have them mounted side by side in the bay with some ghetto azz rigging to keep them in place. I purchased http://ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112454 adn they should work w/o problems. The rad. res. had to be relocated in front of the rad. just behind the grill.

I would like to do a few more mods to the Jeep. Winch, gearing, diff covers, steering upgrade.
The big project I need to start is an extended travel, self contained expedition vehicle. We need something with an indoor shower/toilet and cooking facilities. I might try to build something out of my 01 Ram3500 dually diesel (similiar to the Turtle V or original Earthroamer) unless I find something more interesting first, then I would sell the truck.
I'll keep stimulating the economy as long as they let me keep my money!:sombrero:

For the Chevy Colorado:

Full size spare tire. I'll need to order another H3 rim from ebay and buy the BFG AT 265/75 r16 locally. Just need to double check that this tire will fit in the spare tire area under the bed of the truck.

HID kit for my elcheapo off road lights.

For the FWC Finch:

Dometic DC refrigerator model number tj 18s. Already have it. Just waiting for a nice day to install it.

Add second 75 amp hour AGM battery. Already on order.

Finish indoor shower setup. I have all the parts I just need to assemble and test.

Add LED floor light

Replace stock thermostat with digital thermostat

Add digital amp/volt meter. Already have it (leftover from failed wind turbine project) just need to put it in.

Add jerry can holder to the back of the camper. I already have the jerry can just need to figure out the mount details.

Maybe install a radio???

I had toyed with the idea of rewiring the accessories (strobes, 2M, fog lights, OBA, etc.) I have a external fuse and an internal and have forgotten what goes where all except the internal as it has labels.

i have no clue what my mods will be for the 2009 year just had a baby and dont know how funds are going to for my toys.

But so far i picked up a rv mud flap for the power wagon to keep mud/ rocks off the front of my baja.
- i might do some more back up lights for the power wagon also (thinking on the tire gate)

other then that have no clue lol.

For me 2009 will bring a new roof rack system, completely replaced bumper and tire carrier (which means I will sell the Demello) and a better bed storage system. Also it looks like I need a new starting battery...

Plus I'm on the lookout for a new commuter car. 2 years with the Audi is enough.

Congratulations to the fathers-to-be!

I would like to knock together a rear cargo system for the Discovery. I've got the plywood and lumber ready, and I've been messing about with Google Sketchup for ages. But first the temperature needs to rise, as it's -15C (about 5F) here at the moment.

I also need to install a CB radio in the Disco before our Pyrenees trip this summer.
