After a long weekend, sun up to sun down I finally have it under skin and water tested. Two small leaks, nothing unmanageable. I am so glad I did the exterior first so I could check for leaks before I put the interior skin on. Anyway, here is the weekend work, finishing with 1st road test.
Rear Hatch installed, interior skin painted. I think I have decided to paint the interior galley white as well, just like how clean it looks. I will say that out in the wilderness will probably make me rethink that, which is the reason I will take it out in the wild a few times before painting white.
Driver side door installed. I should have listened to other people and bought the prefab door. I really didn't want to pay $370 per door which is why I built them myself, but that was the worst job ever and I still have to install a window with screen. Haven't decided whether to install the window in the door or the walls. We shall see.
Hooked up to the 4Runner and ready to roll. Soaked it with the hose and it did pretty well. One leak at the hatch corner where the water runs off a screw in the ceiling I forgot to silicone in. Fixed those two spots and hopeful that tomorrow will bring a successful water test.
I will be building a tongue box and maybe putting diamond plate on the front wall half way up, for some added protection.
