Welcome to my humble build thread.
I found the 100 about three weeks ago after about 9month of hard search.
2003, 171k miles, next to no Rust, 5.Spd, 1 Owner, serviced well, 1HD FTE, <3
I am turning the truck into an overland vehicle with some mod already been taken care of.
The previous owner already installed dual batteries (or they came factory?), fuel capacity is 96L which is neat at around 21mpg.
First on the agenda were seatcovers and the "AXE" mod , than all interior lights were exchanged with leds, running board were taken off....
So far so good.
The week after I finally got around to the fabrication of my drawers. The sub frame was done out of 1inch square aluminum, the side panels (1,5mm aluminum) and sliders I pop riveted in place.
I only used stainless steel hardware for handles and hinges. Top deck is 18mm and front cover 9mm phenolic resign coated plywood.
On top I mounted my version of a tilt fridge slide with a Engel 45 and milled out the pockets for the tie down rails. (I just placed the jerrys for a quick size check; they were empty....)
All in all I am quite happy with the outcome.
Next on the list is a snorkel, third battery (180ah) with sterling b2b charger 60A and a switch panel.
