I've tried searching but struggling to find threads with a similar issue. 1994 FZJ80 296,000mi Not sure if it is relevant, but some background. I've had the truck for 8 years and the exhaust has always been in rough shape, O2 sensors barely in the bungs. Check engine light does not light up...

I have a Weize 100Ah LiFePO4 battery in the cargo area and isolated from cruiser electrical system. Renogy wanderer charge controller. Dual 100W panels on the roof. On drawer slides so single panel when driving.

Just added a slide out panel to my setup and upgraded / relocated my charge controller (Renogy 30A Wanderer). I plan to do a similar install on my skoolie (last picture). Currently have 500W on the roof and would like to double that by adding sliding panels.

Installed a slide out solar panel, updated charge controller and re-located to passenger rear quarter.

Installed my attic.

Yes, sorry about that, that photo I took was before the hose clamps. To be honest the hose clamps just introduce 2 additional weak links in my mind. There is a much more elegant method where you tap the hard pipe. It is described in the thread below...

That is correct. Sensor location below in blue

Installed the koso temp gauge on my 94. Cut the upper rad hose instead of taping the outlet pipe.

Added a drawer under my sleeping platform. Link to the drawer slides I used is below.

@Kernal, I did something similar to what @ajax1 mentions here. I didn't flare the ends of the pipes, but hasn't caused any issues yet. Since I didn't re-use the bracket the tubes were free to move in the passageway. To minimize movement I pushed the tubes through water resistant silicone foam...

I did the same! And the extended brake lines from the first post. It is going to be an expensive month.

That would be my recommendation, but maybe others have better experience with rust converters + top coat. As I mentioned above, I had tried a few different combinations and after driving the rig on salty winter roads, the fluid film seemed to hold up best. I plan to apply yearly from now on...

+1 for wire wheel / needle scale then apply fluid film If your prep work isn't perfect, rust converters and paint can make it worse. I've tried CORROSEAL only, CORROSEAL + POR15 and CORROSEAL + chassis saver paint and in spots where the prep wasn't perfect, there was more rust underneath...

Just closing the loop here. It seems I am having some electrical issues. "Reverse" light is actually flashing when my blinker is on. Also, a couple days ago my rear wiper decided to have a mind of its own and operate despite being "off" I did check my trans fluid and was a little low (trans...
