Been curious/concerned about my fuel economy with my 93 (there's an oxymoron). Ordering a new online field filter and pre-filter screen. Hey @NLXTACY did you figure out a relocate for the fuel filter?

And new air filter.

Need to pull the wheels off and check the brakes. No concerns or anything but haven't checked them since March. She stops fine. E brake works fine. It's just been unseasonably warm so I figure I should give it one more look before winter.

Also on my list!
 
Found this. I think it's the fuel pressure regulator? Hose from the charcoal canister attaches to it. Or is supposed to. It wasn't. I replaced the hose and put a new clamp on it. Smell went away... not sure if MPG would be affected by this.

Fuel pressure regulator is on the fuel rail itself.. That's the VSV or some dumb smog crap part..
 
Added a couple of links to threads I had started for help with things on my 93 so that I have everything in one place in the future. Easier for me to come back and reference...
 
Hey @LandCruiserPhil isnt there some mod for the Edgestar fridge so that it doesn't vibrate or bounce? Like putting a piece of insulation or something underneath the compressor? Couldn't I just run a piece of Thermozite under it?

@LandCruiserPhil may be on his way back from Mexico. Not sure
 
Pulled most of the dent out of the passenger side quarter and bumper. It isn't perfect but looks less sh!tty...

Got the sleep platform sorted out for the trip.

Got two of these floods for the rear bumper. We'll see how they work! $18.99 on Amazon. Can't argue.

Decided against the flush mount lights. Just wasn't a good application.

Instead I am putting these on the roof rack pointing backwards.

Working on rack lighting with my custom Wits' End wiring setup.

Picked up a shovel and axe mount go the rack. Looks like it should work well.

Got some wire to finish my Blue Sea fuse panel and to wire my inverter up.

Ordered more "stuff" for the wiring of all of the "stuff". Adding a Blue Sea 80 amp breaker because @NLXTACY shamed me. Ordered a bunch more heat shrink. Laid out where the Blue Sea fuse block is going, putting it on top of the cruise control, thought I was being a trendsetter but Joey had already done this so...

Also, ordered some cool sh!t from Heyco. They have incredible customer service. Amazing. I highly recommend.
 
Coming along nicely. What will the inverter be used for?

Primarily for charging my laptop but may also be used for a belgian waffle maker, christmas lights, air mattress pump, who knows? I like the idea of having power in the vehicle. There have been multiple times when it would've come in handy. I had the inverter already but just couldn't power it properly.
 
I'm curious to see how you do all this. Soon I will be gutting my 93 and fuse panels are on the list and now the inverter is sounding handy too.
