    Found this sweet camper shell from Craigslist a few months ago for $50. Replaced the struts $10, new seals $10, painted the inside black for $10.

    Camping last month with some pew pew action with the shell and I dig it! too bad my air bed sustained multiple leaks due to my overexcitment and carelessness.

    But I picked up some plywood today and plan on DIYing a sleep platform. Man it’s crazy how a camper shell can resurrect an old taco.

    Also follow-up on the 5100’s all around with 881 coils setup, I changed out the the Dakar’s full leaf pack with a Toytec 3 AAL onto the original. Man this baby rides smooth and handles great on and off road. Still about 4” in the rear and 3” in the front with a nice rake. Rides better that my 3rd gen Sports

    I have an aluminum platform I built for my 1st gen 6 foot bed. I no longer need it. It's been serving as a shelf for the past few months. It's pretty light...maybe 30 - 35 pounds. I had 3/8" plywood on top. It's survived a lot of offroading including 2 trips to Baja and 2 trips to Utah.
    I have the fridge slide for it too, now that I'm thinking of it.
    $200 for the whole thing if you're interested. I want to say the materials were around $400 or something. I still have the drawer but it's a POS. I was going to burn it.

    With a fridge slide you said...I would be interested, are you good with a time frame of mid December for purchase and pickup? I gotta squeeze in a little OT for this.

    For sure. I'm going to Baja for the next 2 weeks anyway. And I'll have some time to clean it up.

    So the fridge slide rolls on skateboard bearings. It works really well. It's just not "smooth". and I replaced the plywood in the picture with 1/16" aluminum. Much lighter.

    Some really cool shit
    And this is exactly why I bought the companion Honda inverter/generator. Turns out, however, that my new LG energy efficient fridge doesn't do that. Ran it on one unit last power outage. Because of that, I have purchased a 30 amp fuse, 30 amp plug, and 50 feet of 10/2 wire to rig it up right to my main breaker box, and the two gensets.
