Nice, so you can use the Hot Water Kit outside the vehicle correct?

 

Pretty BA dual battery setup I saw on ExpoPortal

 

^^ Don't those need more ventilation to the exterior of the vehicle? Batteries can give off gases when they are charging. Would suck to be inhaling them.

 

Good question. Just saw it and thought it was a pretty sweet setup but if thats the case guess that knocks that idea out lol

 

My grandpa had a caddilac and it's stock battery was under the back seat. It had a vent tube on it that connected to a hole in the floor so any gas given off exits outside the vehicle.

 

Would be worth looking into, where would you put the vent tube tho? like where on the battery

 

Some batteries have a spot to hook up a vent tube. It's a plastic nipple thing on the casing of the battery.

Edit: Something to this effect...

 

Hey whats in the way in the engine bay on the passenger side that wouldnt allow Craig to get the larger compressor? OZ and I were talking about it

 

the TRD Sport models have all the ABS stuff over there

 

Thanks, thought thats what it was but couldnt remember

 

Meh, I'd buy an SR5 if I was gonna do it again lol

 

There's a lot of wasted space with the batteries behind he seat there with thy plastic shelving still there. Could make a lot more room back there. I need to make mine cleaner back there for sure. What does everyone else so for behind the rear seat storage on a double cab? First thing I did was remove that plastic crap for about 2x the room.

 

Well your truck is for sale so when you sell it do that lol

 

Part out the crawl box/tcase setup...

 

I'm local, I could take that crawl box off your hands

 

5 dolla lol. Nah I'm barely gonna be able to afford my rear bumper let alone a crawl box.

 

well im pretty sure this thread is making me want to switch my build to an expo rig....

 

Lol how about even trade, my leafs for yours

 

I'm pretty sure the he built it to vent out the bottom with a one way check valve

 

Anyone Going to the Overland Expo in Flagstaff this week? I'll be there Saturday and Sunday with my Dad. We are taking his FJ. First time going.
