Tundy, house and beetle build thread...and exploring.

Extended rear brake lines on. Never did them originally, but figured I might as well.

From Wheelers

 

In honor of preventative maintenance... newer suspension will be installed this weekend.

 

The HIDs are bright as hell. They do have a bit of shake to them though. . They also need to be aimed a little higher.

May add some bracing if i can figure out a way with the limited tooling. Tempted to grab another set of floods instead of the driving pattern. It would likely start stuff on fire with the light output.

 

If your gonna be in the pnw around Christmas and need finds Amazon has a camper fleet program that work for ya

 

Who do what?

 

If you need to make money closer to the holidays
Amazon hires seasonly it's called amazon camperforce

 

Oooh gotcha. I doubt my fuel inefficient vehicle would be lucrative as a delivery vehicle even if i wanted it to be.

 

You could see what it's like though. Go thrash packages and launch them from vehicles

 

This is true. Wouldn't need to stop or slow down. Just work on my over the cab launching skills to clear the rack. I was pretty good at the paperboy game back in the day.

 

Need one of them sling shot things. Put the packages IN the house

 

No no no camper. They pay for an rv spot and I think even shuttle ya back and forth. Ya do wherehouse stuff like fulfilling/packing orders etc. but ya could deliver. Just no idea on that part

 

Soooo he can just kick them around the warehouse

 

Last I heard they were not doing it in the PNW anymore, but I have been wrong before (according to my wife)

 

It's been a few years since I've herd anything about the program.

But Brandon would be a good packaging tester

 

So... I hadn't thought much about the internet side of my trip.

I dont want to be on the internet a lot, but researching nearby stuff, uploading pictures and videos will take up a lot of data. I currently have a 2gb plan with my cell phone, go over once in a while if I use spotify when off wifi... so I dont use much data.

My cousin pointed me to this device. AT&T Mobley. Its originally meant for a car or RV and gives you wifi when the car is on (connects to the OBD2 port). Its been around for a quick minute, and AT&T offers a $20 unlimited plan ONLY for this device. Well, people made adapters for it (OBD2 only provides power) and now people use it as a $20/unlimited plan.

I figured I would pass on the intel for those who were interested. Since its a crazy good deal, you can't find the devices themselves since AT&T discontinued them. Only way to pick one up is resold on the internet. This is the cheapest I've found thats new in packaging ($179) AT&T Mobley I also purchased the USB Adapter since having that thing hanging out of the OBD2 port would get annoying. The ones on Ebay are nearing $250 and up.

I called the AT&T Connected Car Dept. 1 (866) 595-1222 and they confirmed that there is a $20/unlimited plan ONLY for the Mobley, once I get it, I can call them to activate it. I do not have AT&T and they will do that plan by itself, so it'd be $20 plus the taxes and BS fees they usually put on a cell phone bill. No contract. Anywhere AT&T has cell service, it will provide wifi, in US, Canada and Mexico.

 

thats effing awesome

 

Yeah... a lot of people use it for a $20/unlimited plan for home which is why they stopped making the devices. Its also in partnership with OnStar... they can get it through OnStar or something.

All of the other mobile hotspots cannot use the $20/unlimited plan

 

Hmm. I might do this. Even though my experience with ATT is terrible

 

Theres a bunch of youtube videos of people that usually have 3-4 bars of AT&T getting 40mbps down/5mbps up. I currently get 7up and 3down... so it'll be plenty awesome for me. As long as it works like ive researched haha.
