plasma cutter and some ductape

[gofast]

Just realized you don't have wipers. What's the plan there?

My old land rovers had distinct individual motors on a switch. Might be good to retrofit a similar style so you don't have to figure out linkage.

California. No wipers required. (Except for about 9 weeks of the year - in a wet year).

yes- i have a plan or two or "three" (hint hint)

More duct tape, less welds.

Thats a great suggestion! and gives me another idea.........

I was thinking the same thing. There was no way to re-use the fj60 ones in my chop. Minitruck ones are nice and square so should be easy to place. Then again my welds have so many holes in them I may not need any vents!!

How big are these mini truck vents?

1979-83 TOYOTA TRUCK SIDE SAIL CHROME VENT, PAIR

Most truck cabs have some sort of vent on the back of the cab though. Anything will probably work.

----> looking for ideas on what to do with under windowframe area? vents / sliding plexi vents / louvered metal / flipup murder slots / ??????

 

[yohavos]

Vents and the second row interior light wiring into an outside friendly light for bed illumination!

 

[e9999]

louvers would be nice to look at but may throw water in when raining and moving.

Gunslits are always good, though!

So finally got thru my 3rd tank of gas since ive been driving BaconBits around town as my daily driver. 322/335/332mi to a tank were first 3.......so about 16-16.5mpg around town. Cant wait to see what the first long hwy trip brings......im hoping 360-400mi.
