I figure it's probably time to go ahead and start documenting this one. It's been a while since I've been genuinely excited about a build, and this one has been keeping me up at night.
The goal of this project is to turn a very capable and well configured truck into one that is equipped to handle extended time in the field, all the while maintaining the vehicle's capabilities and making as few compromises as possible. Simplicity and reliability of all systems is a big focus as well, as this truck will ultimately make its way to Central America, among other places.
A few highlights of this project include:
-2.8TGV mated to an Ashcroft HP22 with HP24 internals and torque converter, full-width intercooler and a little tuning.
-SD full cage with custom built rack and LED lighting.
-15 gallons of auxiliary fuel storage with the ability to transfer between tanks.
-On board water storage with an integrated filtration system and heat exchanger for both potable drinking water and non-potable hot shower supply.
And of course a million little details along the way. I'll continue to update this thread as everything progresses. In the mean time, here's a little teaser:
