My glass guy brought a window, but what Aqualu sent for a cut sheet didn't match reality. Gonna have to cut a new one, hopefully Aqualu can send me a correct sheet. Just in case, a template for backup.

Any info on the rear liftgate hinges?

And are you running shocks along inside for support?

Thanks!

 

[FJSeattle]

All aqualu product.

Shocks are included and are the standard style air shocks.

Very nice tank! Are you using an external electric pump for that? How many gallons is it and did you just give them dimensions and they make it?

 

[FJSeattle]

I used a template for the original cad drawing, and then modified to achieve 18 gallon capacity. This is a bladder system, so it's not as large as others with similar dimensions. I will post the specs later tonight.

P.S. Anyone who wants to replicate I have done the hard part with design. They can stamp out another much easier now.

Front glass

 

[SSCR]

Man, I could really use your template for the Aqualu frame. Can you explain the "bladder" fuel cell? Sounds very interesting!

 

[FJSeattle]

Send me a pm with email and I'll mail the build sheet.

Off to Tor Off Road in Mukilteo for the final push of electrical help, knick knacks, and overall road worthiness. Hope to have it picked up and driving first week of November.

Looks awesome!

Is the entire tinwork done in Raptor?

 

[FJSeattle]

Roof is DIY Raptor and everything else is Premium Line-X

 

[CreeperSleeper]

It looks amazing and Tor will take care of you for sure. He is a great guy.
