Original Thread here: http://www.delicaforum.com/index.php?th ... ehicle.25/
My beloved L300 came into my life last year and was immediately slept in. That following morning I decided to build it into a proper camp machine. A friend of mine, Eric, who owns a fabrication company, has decided to come on board and head the project. It may help that he now owns the Green Crystal Lite Exceed that I bought a few months ago. Who knows... This thread will serve as the collective progress location and I will parse it into seperate threads when it gets too busy.
Here are the current projects that we are attacking: Please note that we are developing all of these modifications for resale and will make a few spares of everything....
Full Stainless 2.5" Exhaust, (all parts in, just need to weld it up)
Batwing awning and rooftop tent
36" Multi Drawer setup with fridge/freezer on slide out also
Full swing out and locking tire carrier complete with fold out table, sink, prep station
40 Gallon water Tank with shurflo pump and auto shut off (made to contour behind middle row of seats.
water heater
Auxiliary fuel tank where spare tire was. Custom made to increase departure angle and not be a pain in the ass
Solid state electrical relay panel
SOLAR panel and charge controller
Dual AGM batteries (already done)
Heavy Duty Rear Springs
