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

[silvrzuki77]

Good news... Undid the latch and the hatch is starting to hold its original shape. Actually going to need to either shorten the latch or move the catch.

That looks gorgeous!

Well the harch is tarting to pull back into shape taking less effort each time to latch it.
Any ways got all the fittings for the shower setup. Her its is going.

Also got my bearings for the DIY fridge slide. 20 bucks at Big5.

Going down to get some steel to finish my dads rear hi lift/gas can holder and also the slide setup and my triple gas can holder.

please do a nice DIY write up if you can of the slide? im very interested in building one myself

 

[silvrzuki77]

Or maybe i wont and sell them cheap? Lol (evil laugh inserted here)

 

[toyotech]

haha even better. i more looking to build a complete slide out for my entire cargo stuff in the rear of my runner. the problem is when the tail gate is down, its reach to get to the items in the back, just behind the rear seat area.

Zuk you're the man! Can't wait to see the second gen of this trailer will a full load of options. You should give up fire fighting and become a trailer Guru. :victory: Keep up the good work!

Maybe when my kids are older and dont like hanging out with me anymore or they are in scholl all day. But looking back i can see a ton of ways I could have done it different and make it better. Well not much really went on this weekend. I finished my dads gas and jack carrier for his hummer.

Cleaned my garage up.
I ran the wires in to the tongue box for the battery and built the jerry can holder. I will post some pictures tonight after I paint it.

Ordered my hatch led light and the gas struts for the hatch. After I order the door trim it will be usable!

Well I meant to post a couple of days ago and got busy. Anyways finished the jerrycan mount.

Later done the road I will build a locking system for the top of it. Finished installing all the trip on the hatch and the seals. Got a set of gas shocks in for the hatch from a TD company and they are no way the right length to work. Hoping to drop by napa and get another set.

 

[toyotech]
