Joe, Slacker bought the light on Amazon I think. We'll see how it works out. It's the first LED bar I've worked with but the construction and quality look pretty good. It will be mounted to the PH...

Rusty lives on

Well, Slacker has put the word out but I asked him if he would like me to continue this thread, so here goes. Rusty has been sold. New member Slacker has been talking to me for a couple months...

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

2horse, I'm very satisfied with it. It is plenty rigid for making a tilting setup. I considered it too but mine is up under the front lip of my roof box a couple inches so that won't work. I...

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

Time for a an update. I've continued to tinker a little bit with Rusty but mostly these days I'm just enjoying it. We've put 16k on it in the last year and a half or so for a grand total of 35k. ...

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

Thanks amigo! I appreciate it. I'm building a garage right now, or an SMB cave more specifically, which I guess I should just add to this thread. It's going to allow me to build my next one and...

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

I drilled for the wires just behind the front mounting bolts (that you can barely see in one of the pictures), so it is outside of the canvas, then I brought it through between the canvas and top in...

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

Solar. Been waiting on this for a long time. First, I recently took an overnight trip to visit family and it dropped down in the 20's. I was not in the van that night and left it unplugged. Had I...

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

Probably. It's really tight to get to the bolts that hold this rack in place. I will probably get to it on a nice warm day, which means I may just live with it awhile. I don't need air that often...

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

I haven't updated but pretty sure I've figured out the problem. The relief valve is interfering with the body above it. I thought I had good clearance but don't. It's barely touching a corner of...

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

Thanks Josh! Onboard air is almost a novelty as I've never aired down for off-roading, but I love having it just for the self sufficiency and ability to clean stuff.

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

Thanks Claude, and Boywonder. I used those bolts because I already had them, so I used pretty big washers. I think the tensile strength of them is still like 3000 pounds each so I'm hoping I'm ok. ...

Re: Look what just drove up in my driveway, it's Rusty!

I'm almost out to the end of my to-do list on my van, but the original 9(?) gallon water tank wasn't cutting it, especially since I added an outside shower and a hot water heater. I removed my rear...
