Anthony's 2010 banworthy access cab mostly BS not much of a build thread

I guess if I blow mine up that’ll be an excuse to upgrade

 

That's my exact solution to alot of things in life! LOL

 

About a 10 year throwback, back when crawl boxes and FJ cases on 2nd gens were rare and exotic. Hard to believe this truck hasn’t burned down, rolled over, or totally flooded out since then

 

You age like a Asian man

 

The ladies tell me I’m hung like one too

 

Those tubes you bent for me a long ass time ago are finally finding their way onto my bumper.



Now to try to get the headlight hoops to fit..

 

Thanks Ant!

 

not too bad a hoop jobber for just eye balling it, that was my first pipe I bent up on the JD32!

 

BLACK PIPE!!

 

FTMFW!

 

Not much new here with the truck. Took it out in the state woods the other day for opening day of hunting season, seems to be running well. I ordered some terminal covers for my dual battery setup a while ago and finally got around to installing them. Not that I needed them it's been like this for almost 10 years now but a little extra insulation can't hurt being that these are unfused straight from the battery. I crammed that ML-ACR in there so it's kind of a bitch getting to it, hope a fuse in the engine bay box never blows

 

Throwback Thursday

 

that might have been the last time since the tent has been open

 

Haven't done much work on the truck, but finished up a little house project I had been dragging on. A few weeks ago I picked up a HF generator on sale so been finalizing the power and metering for it. I have it backfeeding through an old welding outlet I used to have in my front garage via a 30 amp breaker to the main panel.


I put in one of those "powerback" monitors to tell me when the offsite power is restored since everything is manual anyway about my setup. I didn't want to invest in the amount of money and complexity for an ATS.

I made a custom little readout down by the panel to monitor each leg of the generator as well. Picked up an indoor UL case from poly enclosures, really nice quality stuff

Cut out the area for the meters and the knockouts


Extended the CT wiring with some 18/5 thermostat wire I had laying around

Fused the inlet with some bussman 1 amp fuses. The feed to here I used 10 AWG wire since it's wired in parallel with the generator breaker. Probably could have gotten away with smaller wiring but didn't want to chance it in case a fault happened upstream of the fuse.




Pretty nice display, one for each split phase. Normally the meters will be off unless my generator is running as I'll manually open the generator inlet breaker.


Here's the setup complete with the deadfront back on. You can see the "powerback" monitor on the upper right side of the panel


Here's a nice boring video of me powering up my house monitoring the kWs, I am a nerd

 

Taco modz, UG mount and footwell LEDs. A few creature comforts even though I never drive this pig

 

Pretty blue!

 

How many miles on this turd?
