Not much new on this for now. Floor is taking most of my time.
I have acquired a few parts, mostly missing nuts and knobs. I did find this cool little bed tray on Ebay. Then the pair was offered for 30% less so I grabbed it.
Done a little cleaning and watching lots of YTU videos.

Had that happen before. I was fine, but a kid who was with me parents called search/rescue. I asked what was up when I came down of Saddleback mountian in Scal (great off roading), err 45 years ago!
Would see guys jump off in hang gliders from there, now thats crazy!

Canceled trip for this weekend. Supposed to be almost 10ft of snow over the top! NV is never that bad, but Kali side sucks (more ways than 1)

Nice. You have really thought a lot of this through.

Dang, i'm about 1600 with 4br and 2.5 baths. Add in the cave upstairs for another 350 or so.

I figured with your past posts. Was it 4k sq ft? My lot here is just 8k!

This newer stuff is nice. There a learning curve too. As I said before, soapy water is a blessing.
Bet your room is bigger than my dining room!

Front area I tore out, about 90% of the panels were still good and have used up all but a few strips now. Most of them will be used on the far wall.
I also moved a vent from the middle of the floor over to the wall.

Looks like never had a thread for the floors, so I'll add it in here. It all goes together anyway. Carpet is a disaster as only meant to be temp, that was 15 years ago. Add a couple pets, kids and cheap carpet,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I had started in the front just before Christmas hoping to have the living room done, didn't work out. Then after laying a few courses, I decided to start over in the rear left corner of the house (dining room). Supposed to work left to right, front of the house meant I was having to go backwards through the hallway and kids.
So after the repairs to the vent system in the process I have now finished the dining room.

Not sure why I never posted the wall being 95% finished. Doing the floors now and about the wrap around the corner of it.

Like the design so far, off the cuff works!

And for what the real stuff costs now, why not.

Don't skimp on the bottoms, do holes along the sides. If you leave items in containers your could leave that way or just a door skin to close it up. In fact 3/8 and a thin skin might be stronger?

Want to see what you do for the top since you need load bearing there. Just ply or a laminate setup?
121
« on: February 15, 2024, 09:06:44 PM »
Nice start. I have seen the system used many times and looks great to hide screw heads.
I really need to build something for the Tahoe. I have stuff rolling all around.

Plus no thieves at night unless they are after berries or something.

Dang, thought I posted about this. Cool, now full race on GLO!

Weird, its measured from the outisde, so thickness should not matter.

If the tool fits,,,,,,,,,,

Guess I need to look at mine. I don't recall the upper piece.
128
« on: February 11, 2024, 06:08:10 AM »
That is a "few" boxes, think I have 3 to try out, but OO.
129
« on: February 11, 2024, 06:05:59 AM »
That looks great. Is that a VE or VP44?

« on: February 11, 2024, 06:03:42 AM »
Several more. Was at the Ridge Sat. Kubota giving me issues, think its just a fuel filter now.
No, I think it's H working on Ken,,,,,,,,,,

I saw that in a YT vid for sliding in odd pieces. Wood will just dent the ends, you need a sacraficial piece of tile.
I made a bar that you can hammer against the wall with. Another vid showed using a block of wood with a handle as a mallet, just slide along the floor.

Nice, I got 72 boxes. Only like 8 panels per box, heavy stuff with backing.
Working on clearing a closet now that is being a pain. Some bozo (me) drove screws under the drywall edge.
Hint, although it looks easy to get the planks to lock together. I found using a soapy mixture really helps. I just have a little tub and rag, but going to try a brush next.

Is it vinyl? I have the costco laminated wood flooring and it suck big time. It does not like water at all, mine is a mess.
I hauled 35 boxes of the newer vinyl in the Dmax, abuot 1/2 pallet. Sat low but no issues.

I have Foxes up front, added with the lift. Still running Bilstiens in the back. With 2" blocks they are right in the middle of travel.
Does that have a rear sway bar?

Fight or flight, you'll run fine but let her go.
I don't trust bear spray. Yes I have it but I see so many times it doesn't work, guns always work.

Last I saw one was in Yosemite when I was real young. He was raiding garbage cans at 0 dark 30, looked about 10ft tall since I was sleeping outside.

I'm trying to figure out how to post the photos properly...
I seem to have forgotten...
Hit the reply tab, then the "add attachments" just below, up to 10 per post. I normally resize to around 700k.

If she likes the 9mm, get high penetration self defense rounds. Although I am a fan of the 45acp/40sw, 9mm has come a long way. Some rounds don't expand and tumble more after penetration. I saw a 165gr 9mm round that separates after 12in in the gell.
That way she shoots what she is comfortable with, KISS.
Think of sabots for the 12g, you need penetration but hard to argue with a 1oz slug too.

No pic of the gun itself? I like shoulder holsters too.
I carried a hand me down 1991 commander when I hunt.

Glad to see the work going on. I have too much on my plate right now.

Lift I found was at a Fasenal down in Fremont. Got it for $250 and is much better for use at my little house/shop.
Goes though doorways, has adjustable forks (I will make a plate for it) and is almost the same capacity at 880lbs.
26in wide, forks are 25in and can go down between the legs. Needs a new release, but the vise grips were included.

SO while I was starting to mod the wesco, I saw another that would suit my need better.
I welded the edge I had cut off the platform and its new home will be at the Ridge.
Thank god for paint, makes its look way better. I actually have a load of stuff to get up there. Even found #5 rebar for a good price on the way.

Got the lathe cleaned up, new chuck, shelf and wiring. Going to build a chip tray for the rear now.
Not the best picture and son already got chips on it.

Some of the DIY setups are very nice, seen many overlander vids about them.
Like to do a drawer setup for the Tahoe. I always seem to carry a lot and dig to find things way to much.
