Have you been building this for 5 years? Holy guacamole....just looked thru entire build. Amazin patience + perseverance. WoW!

Working on figuring out the rear cargo area. I have this slide that I made about 8 years ago for my fj40. It has a battery tray incorporated into it. I think I am going to mount it in the fj60. It uses skate board bearings. The plan is to have it sit on a small pull out drawer that will be a pull out table. Next to it will be another drawer that will double as a sleeping platform. How high should I make the drawer so it will clear the rear seat filter down.

very cool... I thought of doing this, but my fridge is too big....
Im thinking of doing this (copy from the interwebs) for a third battery.....

On the drawers on mine the roof of the drawer sit at 11.5", but 12" to 13"would probably be best...

 

[megolfer]

I dont have room to put a battery like that due to my fuel tank but that's a good idea. Do u need a third battery

 

[MANUCHAO]

Do u need a third battery

yes/no

Yeah same here with the fuel tank / battery on the rear..
Im also looking at the driver pass side upfront....
I'll be running a propex in the cab for winter and I dont think i'll have enough AH to keep it running all night....

Started on the rear drawers. Wantes to make 2 separate drawers so I would remove one or both.

Does anyone see any issues with mounting the compressor in the box I built. I put an intake and outtake fan.

 

[megolfer]

Picked up one if these today. Clearview easy slide drop slide. It's huge. Think I am going to upgrade to a bigger fridge.

 

[megolfer]

Got the rear rcv 300m axles in and the brakes system all buttoned up.

 

[megolfer]

Got the lokar shifter in. Comes out almost exactly same location as stock shifter. Still need to finish up the twin stick for the transfercase.

 

[megolfer]

Got the lokar indicator light wired up. Got the floor board cut for the twin stick. Time to button up the dash.

That looks really slick. What are you going to do for seats?

 

[megolfer]

Stock seats but recovered. I have a set or new seat material that looks just like stock.

 

[megolfer]

Almost done with the wiring. Got the radio to power up and started on putting the dash back together.
