Dude that looks professionally made

 

Nice work, like the FFF (Form, Fit, Function)!

@Maximus Gradient

 

Air conditioners and roof top units are made to live outside. It is possible to build something with components (compressors,valves, tubing) that is resistant to corrosion. If its copper you will be fine. ARB has the outdoor one. But I don't know what is different on it. Maybe the electronics are sealed from weather.

 

Looks awesome! You have more attention to detail than I do. I basically just threw a piece in and called it a day. Have you seen the molle panels that replace the back seat, like mine?

 

Yeah I may just wait till I am in Australia to buy it. One of my mates is a fitter for ARB, he gets me ~60% off of whatever I want. Thinking about buying 2 to 3 grand worth of stuff, that the $400 shipping of a crate wouldn't be so bad.

 

can you bring me a flatbed/canopy and some drawers?




EDIT: just bring this whole truck back for me please..

 

Haha, I am already sending a couple trays back like that. One for me and one for my buddy that owns a machine shop. A 20 foot container is 1000 to ship with a 4 week ship time

 

I will have @ChandlerDOOM make me one then

 

Yeah, I am still waiting on pics of his long bed model. I haven't given up on him yet.

 

Is that a jump rope David!?

 

Is that a seal with a uni-brow in your avatar??

 

They're out! He just finished one. I will get one. Just need more $. I know that's the oldest excuse in the book, but im pretty serious.

Nope, its the ARB inflator hose for my compressor. Im not that flexible for a jump rope

 

I have seen the molle panels before, but never really liked it. I prefer the equipment hidden inside containers or drawers. It does look super quick to grab items when you need it though.

 

Soon....

 

I have this molle panel also. It’s nice to carry organized gear but have found when I need something behind the seat there’s camp gear packed on the seat maki g it hard for the seat to fold forward.

 

I like the boxes, but that canopy is waaayy overkill for what I am looking for.

 

Thought you wanted a canopy? The canopy is pretty simple, only thing over kill is the rivets which are huck blind rivets that claim "highest strength blind rivet in the world"

 

I do but man that's huge for my little 4 cylinder. I guess it won't matter if I get the diesel, and I can always remove it.

 

Pm me when you get cost and lead time figured out!
