UAV-TD (Urban Assualt Vehicle - tear drop) build

[silvrzuki77]

Todays progress siliconed the exterior trim and around where the aluminum and trailer frame meet. My exterior door trim became interior door trim. Trim was a little too wide going to have to figure out another option. Mounted and wired my exterior flood lights.

Siliconed around the housing also.
Plumbed all the water lines off the tank and into the rear. Going to end up putting foam around the lines.

Installed the water pump. Should have good access to everything and be easy to work on.

Had a set back though. I was given a set of rear leaf springs, I thought were heavier duty. They work better than stock but not going to cut it. I can push down and bottom the tires on the fenders. Going to order some heavier rear springs that are 265/lbs versus the stock 0/lbs replacements.
Bummed lol

Sorry to hear the springs didn't work for ya. Third times a charm! lol . Zuk are you not concerned about the water lines rubbing through where they go through the cross members in the frame?

No, i have some plastic tubing to put over it just havent thrown on there yet was running out of time.

I figured you would sleeve it with something. Just thought I'd check. lol

Got my roof vent yesterday.

Super easy install. Planning eventually pulling the fan and replacing it with a computer fan.

Also installed my interior dome light

Started working on installing the hatch trim till i ran out of butyl tape. Maybe the local rv store will have some I can get tomorrow.

Love the attention to detail and quality of work, very nice job! Not sure what you're going to attack with it in urban areas but it's turning out to be a nice trailer, you'll have no problem with changing the springs, keep on truck'n.

Quite the toy SIR!!!!

 

[rocrunr]

Like the computer fan idea, I was thinking the same thing, they are easy on power and are really quite. Nice work, can't wait to see the finished product!

I have one in my trailer moving air behind the fridge. I have it on switch. Does a great job

 

[silvrzuki77]

Thats a good idea about putting one near the fridge didnt think about that.

Alright todays update! Got a whole 2 hours of combine sleep last night at work lol. Thank god for coffee and beer. Finally got my boat fuel tank vent Im using as a water vent.

Then the big update!!
Got a door installed and the latch catch installed!

Have to order the door trim and seal but have plenty of room for that. Finishing putting the polyurethane on the edges and exposed wood at the moment. Should have the window in tuesday! Then off to the other side.
