The d00kie Build (and a dingleberry)

Exterior please. Just wondering if the larger one could possibly fit inside the cab. Like on the folded down rear driver seat.

 

So this is the largest one offered at 73qt. If this one is too big, the 52qt may be the ticket.

 

Thank you kindly sir

 

Testing the Ozark Trail coolers here:

Was the medium sized cooler a smaller footprint? Or just the same footprint and shorter than the large that you got?

I measured and I'm working with a size of 23x20 with cubby still in or a size of 29x20 with the cubby removed and a new home found for recovery straps and supplies. All measurements were taken conservatively to err on the side of caution.

 

Smaller footprint all the way around. You can see the 52 in the middle in the pic below.

In the review thread I started, I think there was a couple people that already had the 52 and could probably measure for you.

 

Very impressive build! I wish I knew that you guys were meeting in Mount Pleasant May 1st. I live in Charleston which is only 15 minutes away. Any recommendations of threads to keep up with the SC meets or wheeling trips? Pretty new to the TW site.

It all starts there! Welcome to the madness!

 

Thank you! Glad to be here and have the opportunity to add to that madness!

 

Picked up a new hobby last week. Excited to get out on the water to explore.



Needed something to keep the kayak off the rack so for less than $5 and some cutting...pool noodles will do the job!

 

Was going to mockup a panel to mount my fuse block to but went ahead and ordered the Pelfreybilt one instead.

Came in today! Thanks @Pelfreybilt!

 

Awesome! I like that patch

 

Finally got the switches installed and wire loom run with help from @rogs6266.



Still working on the fuse block and relay blocks. Figured it'd be smarter to do this inside with the AC than outside in the South Carolina heat.

Underside - I plan to mount the relay blocks underneath as shown in the pic to keep everything nice and neat and tucked away.

 

Also got the CB antenna mounted where it needs to go. Used a BAMF mount from @JLee. Now I need to order longer antenna wire since the 9' I had is too short (bought before I decided to get a shell and was going to mount closer to the cab).
