Chux's 2013 Beach Buggy Build

I believe you are correct. Just like a lot of the tents..

 

What size bolts did you use for your TRED mounts?

 

I believe they're 1/2" thread x 6" long

 

You're awesome lol

 

Got some firewood for this weekend from a lot next to my jobsite today. Loving my new custom safari basket.

 

be careful....... someone may something about transporting fire wood........

 

Between towns I think it's ok
Got home, started splitting, didn't realize how much wood I really got.. Took a bit to get through it all.

 

Nice sticker on that Pelfreybilt bumper

 

I'm hopefully putting mine on soon

 

there he is!!!!!!

 

good luck with the new air mattress. I just had the pleasure of putting my knife through my old one. last 3 times i've tried to use it there have been leaks. this past weekend i inflated it and there was a large hole in it. no clue how it could've happened, but that was the last straw. now i'm going to keep an eye out for a new one. i'm curious to see how yours holds up.

 

FWIW I have been using my Queen Ozark Trail double thick mattress with integrated pump for the past 2-3 years and have been very happy with it. Was like $60 or something at the time. Not the most compact but still nice.

 

Yea the Alps Mountaineer air bed states to be thicker than the competitors. I never thought bout an "air bed" but it is a nice convenience. This queen air bed actually packs up smaller than my previous double wide air mat. I'm hoping being a camping air bed it hold up to the outdoor conditions and last a while.

I went with this

ALPS Mountaineering 7632117 Velocity Air Bed (Queen)

But this was my 2nd choice

ALPS Mountaineering Rechargeable Air Bed (Twin)

Working on the rear basket lights today. I seriously have a love hate relationship with wiring

Looking good Chux!

 

Finished up the rear basket lights.



All the time it took to conceal the wiring definitely makes it look super clean. I ran the wiring through the frame of the basket and down through the foot of the Thule bar and through cap.





Then just waited for night fall





Basket lights paired with the flush lights on the Pelfrey bumper are super bright! The perfect setup for reverse light, rear recovery light, or just spot light.

 

To setup my switch location in the cab I jumped the gun and bought rockers for future mods. Yesterday was the first time every switch in this set was fully functional. Stoked.

 

I like how they moves the switches out, mine you can barely see them they are so far under the dash.

 

Looks awesome dude! Rear lights are key as fuck.
