Some organization...

This is the "shallow" drawer on the TrekBoxX Alpha System which recesses below the refrigerator slide. I used a few organizers from Bed Bath Beyond to give me the kitchen feel on the trail. The working Surface is Richlite R50.







Here's a general view of the TrekboxX system - I'll post some more details and pics of the system and the organization within it.

Ahhh I miss Utah. I think we need to go back @v_man.

In that photo it appears that you are;

a- Tightening my lug nuts
b- Polishing my center caps
c- Pushing my truck over into the abyss
d- Using your super human strength to pull the front of the Cruiser to Earth
e- All of the Above

For you viewers at home @v_man at no time spilled his beer (obscured by the bush)

Here is the very first mod I did to the 100 back in 2011.

- Pelican 7060 rechargeable LED flashlight. I used 3m double stick on the back of the charger and mated it to the upper arm rest console. I drilled a small hole for the power wire and tapped the 12v socket in the back of the armrest.

- Victorinox Rescue Tool. I used some Velcro with sticky back and mated it to the console floor and the back of the knife case to hold it in place. Both have been stuck in pace for 7 years without issue.

Hey mate,

Fantastic rig. Do you have any idea on how much is invested in it?

I just finished restoring our 80 series and spent a bit over $40K by now. ... and I'm not done! These things add up. :(

wrote a blog about it in this thread.
