BEAVER Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 well part of the two way is fixed lets see if I get moving tomorrow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've got our camping gear pretty well in order, got to get a few minor things. Fix a little brake issue on the Heep, change the oil, swap over tires, and load the gear into the wagon, pack food, and ready. No time for the couple small mods I was thinking of :( . I plan on heading up Friday morning (leaving around 7:30 or 8:00 am). I was thinking of Thursday night, but Cameron has a soccer game at 7:00, and won't be done til 8:30... way to late to leave then, I don't like setting up in the dark if I don't have to :toothless: !!

BEAVER Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I have a floor now (big thanks to Andy) one back corner is almost done other side needs to rebuilt then I have to put it back together find fender flare repair the exhaust etc etc but I HAVE A FLOOR AGAIN :D :biggthumpup: :smiley-transport027: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 The floor is going to last longer than the rest of your Heep now, lol!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I got my club-radio mostly installed last night. Running wires is such a ***** to do in the H2! Anyway, radio isn't mounted, but the wires are run and radio is functional. Also got the trailer brake controller installed. I might try and do a quick install on the VIAIR system Thursday morning; I ran some wires for it last night, but i'll need to build a quick frame / something to mount it on the truck.

Will your setup from the H3 work for a tempory housing for it, or modify it to fit temporarily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Will your setup from the H3 work for a tempory housing for it, or modify it to fit temporarily? lol... the pieces of the cabinet from the H3 might work. I got angry at how much space it was taking up and aggressively dismantled it. MDF + hammer = fragments of cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, back to the drawing board for now. Do you want me to bring home some plywood to rig a tempoary something or other for it? I can even cut it to required sizes here at the shop.

sar4x4 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hmmm. What isn't done? I often forget to throw a radio in! We never had a radio in the Land Crusier before. The LC is a new work in progress, we'll just take her as she is! Luckily I don't need a week to pack, I'm not bringing a family in a Jeep. lol. Matt is bringing his camper trailer, and always has food on board. I'll bring a light blanket. And not much else! To be fair, my brother and I've done the workon the LC so far, so it is all a team effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a plan based on Guy's design that might work nicely in the H2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 can you post up some scribbles of it, and maybe some rough measurements? I have some nice oak 3/4" plywood offcuts at my disposal :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 measurements will be difficult - I'm not anywhere near the truck. Basically think Guy's design, but a bit longer (about length of tank) and a bit wider than the tank (couple inches). I'm around Wed evening (after supper) if you wanna do some quick measurements / strategy. Wood doesn't matter, I plan to paint it black anyway.

Eastcoastcam Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Sounds good, Wed nite when you are home measure your tank width & height, and height for the pump and I'll cut up some pieces for it. We should be able to come up with something to set it up, even if it is just a temporary thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 ya, it's more complicated than that though - I have plans for some supports and things. Perhaps I can pop out to your place if you're unable to come out my way. I'll give you a call after supper on wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
