Like many other 4wd enthusiasts, my truck is a work in progress.
My latest mod is a bracket for a 3m annex. The annex will be accessible from the left hand side of my truck, and comprise front and rear doors, side window, mozzie screens and a floor.
The annex will be angled to allow for rain run off.
I’ve designed it, but my wife wants a couple of changes, and again, she’s correct.
The principle behind the annex is to drive in/drive out, without having to pack and unpack the annex.
I’m getting a local small business to make my mod, and to say I’m excited, is an understatement.
The bracket goes the length of the pod, which will stop that annoying rain from dripping down the sides and flooding the back, when the doors are up .
The ‘railing’ will allow for the canvas to slide along nicely. Just over the lip will be a zip, so I can separate the railing from the annex and drive away.
Getting my driving skills honed in will be a challenge to start with, but I guess it’s like reversing a trailer. Lol……..Some days it’s first go, others it’s 10-15 goes to get it right. Hahaha
The almost finished roof mod….. the solar panels in place – (for display purposes only, Jon. Lol)
I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
Next mod is to set up the panels, buy a regulator, hook it up, and I’m away.
My tax return should put a big dent in another mod. ….a NGT, HF radio. Have them on our work vehicles, and I love them. So simple and easy to use.
That’s all I have to tantalize your tastebuds, so stay tuned.
I’m going away to the beach and will be totally independent for 3 weeks, so, it will happen sooner, rather than later.
Stay tuned.
And finally, a pic of me with my pride and joy.
Take care out there.
