Ruller's M101 Build

[nruller]

Thanks again. It looks great. Did you take the body off the frame to paint or did you leave it on? Do you have any more pics? Does the Khaki look more grey or is it just the lighting? Sorry for so many questions.

Khaki looks khaki. I might be able to snap a couple pics today. It really looks good with the olive drab. I removed the fenders in order to paint. It doesn't allow the removal of the tub like the M416.

Where's all the snow???? Ya gotta put some heat on that landing leg and straighten it out.

By the way, those LED lights look awesome!!!

No snow here right now... we just had a week long thaw.

I plan to ditch the landing leg for an adjustable wheeled version which should help when leveling it if I disconnect from the truck. I am happy with how the LEDs worked out, however I hate my wiring routes... I will probably redo them...

Do you have a link to your LED's and bezels?

I really like them, are they colored diodes and clear lenses or are you using them for auxiliary lighting around camp? thanks!

An ebay store that was recommended on another forum. They are clear lens colored diodes. Cost was around 60 bucks for 4 markers, 1 Lic Plate, and 2 Tails. I am now thinking of adding clear white ones for camp lighting on the sides of the trailer where they point downward.

I have purchased the ARB tent, Annex, and 2.5 metre awning. I am now trying to figure out how to mount it all. I have completed the lid for the trailer, just no pics yet it is always too dark by the time I remember. It is the Desertdude/Baja Explorer style hinged on the driver side. I think I will do a rack with the following in mind...

- Rack would permanently mount to the tub, not the lid
- Awning to mount on the passenger side and be adjustable height
- Height needs to allow for the Annex to hang properly

If anyone has any ideas or pics of interesting setups, feel free to post up!
