Jesse's long term overlanding build that will take forever but should be cool I guess....

This is gonna be a good one! Subbed.

 

Water Filter Mounts!

Water filter mounts whipped up in fusion real quick... Picked up a nice little, cheap and easily changeable filter on Amazon but realized I need some mounts for it real quick. Currently on the printer!

 

Water Filter Mounts - DONE!

Got this nice little filter on Amazon, its cheap, inline, and easily replaceable. Just what I wanted. Went and got the fittings I need to connect it to my loop and then realized I needed a place to put it...


Designed this little bracket setup in Fusion 360 really quick...






And printed it on the 3D printer! (damn that thing is handy...)



This is always a cool thing to see... something you designed in a program a few hours earlier, now sitting on your desk...




Side note... You can tell exactly how busy I am by how messy my desk is... I am normally a neat freak about this desk...

Anyway... Another job finally done! Yay! Been working on the drawer liners, divider system (a cheap, DIY "TrekPak" alternative) and the hose connection set up for shower, etc. I'll probably post again later tonight or tomorrow with some updates! This thread is really pushing me to stay on track!

 

I like the Dash kit

 

Quick Update

Here is the outlet port panel for the cold water/drinking water tank... have a hose quick release connection if you need some extra reach and then a nice little sprayer for everything else.

 

Digging the RAM mount.

Sub'd for more goodness.

 

just my 2 cents, remove that vinyl fabic cause its not stretched properly and redo in a carbon fiber vinyl sticker

 

a heat gun will also stretch ur vinyl

 

Thanks, its not vinyl though, I tried it but its just too much of a random surface to work right... The fabric is a lot thicker and hides little things really well, it looks a lot better in person. Thanks though

 

Thanks man! Walked out today after a 100 degree day and it had melted.... I'll have to reprint in a better material for that at least... To be fair it works fine still, and now that its "heat treated" it wont get worse... Might just leave it.

 

That sucks. Atleast you know the point of failure.

 

Sorry for lack of updates, but good news! I have been lacking because I am so busy... Little teaser. Pump mounts and Tank Brackets are currently being printed!

 

Sub'd for a cool build.

Any updates on the dog mod yet? (Have you gotten a dog)

 

Negative on a dog We got a cat that plays fetch though, so thats pretty cool!

 

Time to update the original post to read cat lol

Love the build so far. Keep up that assie engineering and texan execution of them mod.

 

Good looking work subd for more.

 

Finally! Some progress! It's all starting to fall into position now... Lots more photos coming tomorrow, water, electrical and carpeting all getting installed!

 

UPDATE

Sorry to those who have been following and waiting for updates, and thank you so much to everyone for all the support! Really pushes me to do more work and document it better! You guys are great.

Anyway, after a crazy 4th of July where we blew stuff up with my custom fireworks launcher and nearly lost a drone over a lake...

Launcher that I literally 3D printed the night before... and painted during breakfast...



Lake (via drone that tried to fly away on its own)


I've been trying my best to get as much work as I can done, but thanks to the 100+ degree heat it is nearly impossible to work on the truck most of the day, living in an apartment sucks. Can't wait till we buy a house so I can at least be 20 feet from a couch instead of 200....

Water system is going in, a LOT of odds and ends... Electrical coming along nicely (more detailed shots coming soon, its so hot my camera doesn't like to work...)


Electrical Panel V5 is installed! (yes... I used some epoxy to help make sure it wouldn't budge)


And finally printed and wired up these little switch panels!


Got the route worked out for my first road trip... My best friend is coming out from Australia for a few weeks before being best man at my wedding, and then my wife and I will be going on our honeymoon a couple days after.. That trip was thankfully fully sorted months ago! (grand canyon, disney, vegas, utah, colorado, and watching the eclipse together too!) But this is the "Guys Road Trip" we'll be taking in a couple weeks!




More updates soon! I have to be done by the 19th... so wish me luck!

 

Cat that goes on adventures with you?

I swear ive seen you post your truck and cat on one of the texas FB pages...

 

Truck, maybe... Cat I don't think so?.. haha
