Awesome work pal, keep it up. Where did you get your battery box from? Are you going with a solar system?

WOW! :Wow1: A TF-1 light cart, very cool. I haven't seen one in 15 years. What a great re-purpose. Watch for cracks...when TF-1s ran, they shook and rattled like nothing I have ever seen. They had the the most out of balance diesel Onan ever made. Great work on the TF-1, I'll be watching your progress.

I bought the battery box off of Ebay. It is a boat battery sealed box. Solar would be ideal for me. The systtems are still a little out of my reach.

Thanks buddy!!!! the solar system is a little expensive, but reading a little bit about and I will be building mine from scratch to reduce the cost. I''m looking at setting up an 80W system. I expect to work on mine in the next couple of months.

Installled a cool zombie switch in my truck for my offroad lights. played with the boys and installed the new clothes washer.
busy day..

You installed a clothes washer in the Turtle? Cool!

Does the rear door over lap the front? I would swap it around so it doesnt catch air as it went down the road and put unnecessary stress on parts.

 

[Dirtytires]

These are just for Mock up , but thanks for catching that one..

 

[Dirtytires]

Door cofiguration resolved.

Front trailer light hooked up.

I like the doors opening this way. Thanks gents for all your helpful input.
I ordered me a new water tank and pump today. ( Horray)

I have never seen anyone use rain run off for filling their water tanks before. Just kidding, this thing is coming together fantasticly. Doing some great innovative work on it man. Looking forward to this summmer.

 

[Dirtytires]

You gave my secret away.. I use the water jugs just for placement purposes. One day the goal would be to have two propane tanks there.
I might fill them with wine. as the Swiss natives normaly do..

Put a new handle on the Recovery Tool door.
And had to resecure the top piece of steel on the
sides.

I ordered a ten gallon water tank to put on the turtle. If it ever gets here..
I hate waiting for goodies..

Put the Cb in the tow rig

Someone stole my Jerry Can.. Sum bitches.. they could have at least left the can and took the gas.
I installed the ammo cans on the rear tonight, spontanius idea.

I painted the fenders. I need to get my hustle on so I can get camping.
