Ya the pick up tube come long and then you just trim it until you get it like 1/2" to 1" from the bottom

I need this to gas up snowmobiles at the trailhead!

 

[uscg2008]

Yes it works good

 

[uscg2008]

Got my switches and switch holder in for my lights. Alley lights will be for my side lights on my roof rack.

Nice Taco, trashy looking beach though....

 

[uscg2008]

Hahaha thanks, that's st Pete for ya

 

[uscg2008]

New switch in. I like how it is a dimer light output compared to the other one I had in there. This one will be way less distracting. The other 3 I have for the roof lights will be just this color too.

Off

On

Productive day.

Built a drawer/ table under my sleeping platform. Still need the adjustable paint poles that I'm going to use as legs

I also mounted my switches for my roof rack lights. Still waiting on them so I can wire them up.

Looked what just showed up... Now I have my weekend project

 

[uscg2008]

So I had another productive weekend
Finished up my platform and drawer/ table version 2.0

Should hold a couple more camping chairs and misc stuff along with my roll up table and tarp awing shown here

With room for my bedding up front

It was tax free day in town and I had a gift card to the local outdoor store. So I picked up this table I ended up only paying $30 for it with the discount no sales tax and a the grift card

No on to my DIY awning

THis was just a test run nothing was really tight. When I go to use it, it will be a whole lot tighter and better attached

All rolled up and attached to the roof rack if I want to keel it there

And it will fit inside the cover with the table

Finally I got pretty much everything I will need to wire up all my roof rack lights and back up camera. Also going to put a 12v constant outlet in the bed near my factor bed plug

Dude, you have been BUSY! You've got a great combination of "right tool for the right job" and "homebrewed concoction" going on. It can be so easy to just go crazy with the debit card, but seeing projects like yours remind me that there are some things I shouldn't be afraid to make, myself.

 

[uscg2008]

Thanks dude I really appreciate that. A lot of stuff that I have done on my own have been from ideas that I have gotten off of here or Tacoma world honestly. But ya I've always been a tinkering kind of guy so this is my outlet.... It can be expensive at times, but exactly like you said I try and do it first before I pay someone to do it for me. I will say though, living on an island has made me a little more self reliant. Shipping is absolutely redic sometimes. So if I can do it myself then I go for it. Materials can be hard to come by and expensive, got to make the dollar go as far as I can.
