Operation Crash Bandicoot 4x4 Swapped 05' Tacoma

It'll be aprilish

 

ahh, gotcha well just let me know mang.

 

Let's see where to start

Got my fridge slide built and mounted before I went camping for a few days this week






The trip ended up being a success

My solar panel setup kept my battery nice and charged and the fridge worked perfectly

 

Did you get to use use the Zodi? And if so, any thoughts? I'm still keen on getting one for myself.

 

the lot that was supposed to be free of people was densely packed, apparently the park i visted just opened for the first time this week. Im going to use it to take a shower tonight and i'll post my thoughts. Bear in mind im only 5'9" (ive read stuff of people extending their hose, but i took it out to setup and it's plenty long enough for what i'll use it for anyways (just hitting the hotspots of my body and my face.)

 

Well I've taken it out for its maiden voyage, in my parking lot and I've got a couple observations about it


For starters it sets up super quick, it holds 3 gallons of water but for this I only used one so the real data will be a bit off but it's good enough to give some impressions

For starters it took about 3 minutes to heat up one gallon of water to a temperature I was cool with using




The thermometer feature worked like a charm and when the 100* one lit up I cut it off per the manufacture instruction




After about 3 minutes I completely unlocked the valve and it took about 2 mins to completely empty the zodi out. I figure if I use it to just wet the hotspots of my body and cut it off to lathe and rinse one gallon would be good for at least 2-3 uses.


I think with 3 gallons of water it'd prob take around 10 mins or so (will recheck at some point) to heat it up to at least 90* and another 5 mins maybe to the 100* mark.

The hose length for the reviews ive read complaints were aplenty but im only 5'9" so the hose length and what i'll be using it for, washing my hotspots (feet,face,groin,armpits) will be plenty long enough to reach so i dont plan on modifying the hose length.

All in all, i think it's a pretty neat little tool and i recommend it to anyone who doesnt need a full on shower experience but to wash the important areas of your body while you're out in the sticks.

 

How much was it? Jealous..

 

I think the retail is 170$

 

Happy birthday old man, I apologize about what happened to the cake...

 

Well after a hiatus from mods (only becasue the only ones left require i have an actual job ) i have assembled the pieces for the next mod

Since april i have:

Replaced the Spare rim with a matching
Got my Bussmann Fuse box+ Breaker (thanks @Sandman614) Fuse box mounting plate (thanks @EddyRRT )

Only thing to do now is rewire my
-(2) seat heaters
-(1) CB from out the cab into the engine bay
-?(2) Projector headlights ( they are on a relay already i think so im not sure if i'll do that)

And she'll be all buttoned up in the front for now.

Not a whole lot gonna be going on for awhile, after graduation ive been searching for a job, and burning fuel traveling and wheeling just wont be sustainable for now.

 

When's the 4x4 swap?

 

When:

1: i get a decent job (40K)
2: I get a decent place
3: pay student loans/CC
4: Buy a DD
5: 4x4 Collect parts

 

It needs to be moved up to after 2

 

Yeah... i dont want to live with my parents anymore than i have to haha. Rules(theirs) sucks.. Being away for 4 years really did a number on me lol

 

Gotta have a place to work on it and that's the only reason it isn't number 2 haha

 

bingo

 

What's your major?

 

Philosophy with military Leadership Minor

Law school was the goal but i dont want to be over my head in debt at the end of the tunnel so im exploring other options at the moment.

 

Gotcha! Yeah 4-5 years then go for more, no thanks
