    1996 FZJ80 Pan-American Build

    I know, I know. It’s soooo much fun the first time you turn it in and see the gauge go up. And then the smile when you are naked in the middle of the desert next to the car, mid day in the sun taking a hot shower and air dry. 😂. Are you storing the hot water in the PVC tank? If so how big...

    You guys will have an amazing time. You sure have the right rig for it and seems your setup will be perfect for the two of you. Do you speak Spanish? My dream is to ship our 80 to Chile and spend a couple of months in Patagonia. My parents were born in Argentina and Uruguay so I speak...

    Nicely done. Are you planning to go solo or you are two people traveling? Our water system is very similar. Have you seen it? We are running 2 12.5 gallon stainless tanks. One heats up with a heat exchange with the engine. We blow low pressure into the tanks so no pump is required.

    Yes. That will do it!!! Top of the line components.

    The reason I choose AGM is because they are less ‘spoiled’ then lithium. Do you have a bigger alternator in the rig?

    Cool. Why do you need so much battery power? Is it 2.5KW? 2x12V 100A? In our 80 series we used just an extra AGM from Costco and spent a month in the car every trip and it’s plenty of power. All we really need power is the fridge and I calculated that without charge battery will last almost...

    On our system I just turn the switch on and the thermostat keeps it at the programmed temperature with an ON and OFF settings so it reaches 145F shuts off the pump and when drops to 140F turns it back on. These two are programmable.

    I used an inexpensive thermostat that displays the temp and controls the pump. It has been working for the last 3.5 years and 65K miles without issues. i had to extend the wire for the sensor itself and mounted it on the output of the tank to the heat exchange. Did not wanted to drill extra...

    Nicely done. Thanks for the kind words. Make sure the pump can handle up to 150F and it's self priming. One draw back on my design is that you have to move the knob to 'HOT' on the dash, so in hot days windows are open while we heat the water. 12.5 gallons to 140F takes almost an hour. But...
