I have two of the 5 gallon "water cube" cans under my counter (one supply, one for the sink drain), and another one in the back storage. Gives me 10 gallons, plus we usually bring some bottled water. The pictures show a mock-up while I was building it, and the finished counter.

Welcome! Sounds like you have a solid platform to start with, and your list seems sensible. Maybe consider water and gas cans?

33s will lower your effective gear ratio (more power). 33s are nicer to drive, on pavement. 33s will give you a lower unsprung weight. Lower unsprung weight is A: better for handling, and B: easier on suspension components. 33s cost less (a little). 35s raise the axles (ground clearance). 35s...

A two stage regulator is supposed to eliminate this issue, but I haven't tried it yet.

Birds of Prey area in the Owyhees.

Made a little trip through Celebration, across the birds of prey area, to Swan Falls dam and out past Black's creek to another part of birds of prey.

Might be cool, if there is enough content. I've got mine in the vehicle build thread now.

I'm with genocache on this. Take a welding course, build skill and confidence, then build projects!

Pups always count!

For me, it's 3/4 or 1 ton Fords all the way. Had a 1/2 ton Ford and it was a maintenance hog. Had a Dodge Ramcharger (essentially a 1/2 ton Dodge) that I really enjoyed, but not enough power (318) and again maintenance hog. Driven several Chevys as work trucks, but never really liked them...

More work, Got the counter built, sink and burner plumbed and tested, built the drawers, insulation and backsplash up, and a couple of storage baskets screwed down on the top shelves.

We have an ICECO VL60, works just fine. I do recommend putting a thermometer in each side so you can get the set point right where you want it. Ours tends to run colder than the dial says.

Yep, fix the fenders. Do those wheels fit your tow vehicle (might be a cool idea)? Brakes are never a bad thing... Get a good estimate of the finished weight, so you can build the suspension to carry it. I really like seeing self-built projects.

I used a prodigy in my 93 F250. Pulled a 24' camp trailer all over the place, lots of forest service roads. Did a great job. In my van dash space is an issue, so I went with a Redarc tow pro. The box is on the firewall above the pedals, there is a knob on the dash to adjust it. This is the...

160K when I bought it, about 168K now. Two highway trips (to LA for the top, and Portland for the 4X4), the rest have been mostly forest service roads, etc. Didn't have a maintenance history when I got it, so I did all the fluids, plugs & boots, belt, hoses, and thermostat. Had to jump it once...

Welcome! I was born and raised in Missouri, many moons back.

It always bothers me when I "pinstripe" a nice looking daily driver. So...when I got serious and started the van build one of the first rules was "no pretty paint". Went with a truck bed paint so scratches either don't show or don't matter.

Quite an intro! Enjoy the ride.

2" spacers and a slight bumper trim should do it...
