Rear Swap Bar setup

The rear sway bar's connection was modifed with new extra long bracket that included very stiff small springs.

This setting enabled some rear axle twisting movements before the swap bar is being used. I might do the same thing for front but I'm not sure due to tighter space.

Hot & Fresh shower Part I

During the Rubithion 2005, Jim Pismo's awesome FJ 60 comes with hot shower system, using the motor's heat to warm up the cold & frigid (from recent snow melting) water from his suction pipe into a perfect warm water. I almost passed out inside the shower bin from two days of hot and dusty of video shooting.

So I decided my truck should have a hot water system. Since the water system is EXPECT to leak, those piping system were located above the side pit, instead of above the rear cargo floor.

Hot & Fresh shower Part II

Instead of accessing water shower system thru the engine bay or rear cargo door,the left side of the truck is use for ease of access.

The rear of the RV panel is recessed, about 1.5" so the adjustable temp handle, output water plug and on/off power can be covered.

The lower water plug is Input for drawing water. The 26' long suction pipe comes with it's water pump. Also the house hose and RV water hookup can be used with adaptor if needed. Aslo this input plug can be use to fill up the aux water tank.

Athought this system is only use for shower, not drinking, level 3 water filter might be use if I can figure out where to install it.

Nice truck Jay-and good recovery from the broken diff incident(s). You have a sweet shower set up-I think that's your best mod. Very nice.

When are we going to see another video, or have you retired?

Snook Where u store the water ?

WOW...the more I read, the more blown away I am! That rig is SWEET!!!

 

[Snook]

wow thats awesome. hows the water pressure on the shower?

Three different water pressures:

- RV water pump: 35 to 55 PSI - adjustable screw on pump. The pump stopped automaticly when the PSI gets too high due to "off" switch on the shower head.

- My house hose: 45 PSI

- RV hookup: 25 to 65 PSI - sometime RV owner put a restrictor on hookup hose so the PSI can't go above 45 PSI or too much PSI will damaged the RV water system.

I am planning to put whole system under 45 PSI for at least 24 hrs by using my home hose for wet run. I expect it to leak somewhere.

I did asked my Toyota part store for a small can of spray for Riverrock Green. They said they can't sell it due to California law. So I asked Cdan and he said there is no such thing like that.

Suggestion?

As for alignment, I tried to lined up the RV access panel to the gas panel but the rear seat belt system is in the way.

The Long Ranger TR 62 water/gas combo is what I would like to buy but my chance for getting this model is getting smaller and smaller.

The Long Ranger saleperson said they don't handle international shipping?

Looks like I need someone local near The Long Ranger OR have them send model to a local guy's address anywhere in AU then this guy forward to me thru international shipping. Very frustrating.
