I've been thinking of how to make one as well. Haven't gotten very far. Have you come up with anything?

Kinda rudimentary but my knife.

Thanks! I like it even though its rusted out.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I love the outdoors when its not 10k degrees. It was nice today. Everything worked as it should so now it's time to clean it up a bit. I've got a new track I want to cut ( in white )in the upcoming months. Here are a few pics from today.

I've lowered the dash. I cant stand it that high.

I dislike the dash but the shakedown trip went well. Everything worked as it should. While.it drives like crap over 40mph it does surprisingly well off road for having open diffs. I dont know if lowing the dash a couple inches will help but something needs to be done.

A little more work on the dash. The engine never had a thermostat in it when it was in the crawler. I broke the temp gauge sending unit so I have to go to town in the morning to get one as we are going to the woods tomorrow and I dont want to run it with out the gauge. I have to be easy...

1) Needed and wished you had Lots of wants. I make do with what I have. I think max tracks would have come in handy on more than one occasion. 2) Had and never needed First aid kit 3) Needed and actually had on hand Chainsaw

Are you doing drawers under it?

A roof rack and here's how she sits. I converted it to a 5 speed and it has the 22r. I also started a dash. The other one was all broken. I've used luan for now. If I like the layout I can use it as a template at a later time.

Winch time - I went with a new cable instead of rope. Abrasion resistance is the reasoning. I went with the wireless remote from tractor supply. Plugged right in to the ramsey winch. In is out and out is in but it's got a ton of range.

Thanks.

The lift kit came with add a leafs for the rear lift. It wasnt enough so I added 3" left blocks. It leveled it out nice. Here's the first drive to town. Had to get gas.

Time to clean up a bit. A load for the scrap yard. The spare 22r and 22re will go into storage. The front springs are broken and the axle is sitting on the frame. Ordered a $400 lift off Ebay.

The cargo area was just as bad. I really like the flexseal. I'll be curious as to how it holds up. It's got a good feel to it.

Reinforced the back and fiberglassed it in. It's too bad this thing is so far rusted.

Let me show you my rig and it's current state of build. Here it is the day I bought it. Just needs a fuel pump. Lol not. Got it home and its corroded to death. Wiring, harnesses, body, seats, everything. I have my rock crawler but its not my style so everything will swap over to the...

New the forum and new to vehicle overlanding. Been in the woods and off road forever. Always hiked in. Last year a bull decided to ram me and blew out both my knees. Overlanding seems to be way funner than bushcraft and look to get out and explore more.
