Reata's Build Thread

[Reata]

Here are some pics of my Engel Fridge mounted in the new ride. Enjoy, plugs right in when under way, the power shuts off when the engine is killed, which is a pain in the arss. Once I get my dual batter setup installed, I will be able to run it live as I did in my LR Discovery.

Another shot.

Looks like a nice setup. debating if I will ever get the fridge.

That thing is HUGE!

I like the way it slides out on the factory floor. You use it for camping alot??

That's what SHE said! (couldn't resist).

To the OP:
Looks good, but I'd suggest you resize your images next time. They take up half the page. lol.

Probably the best mod I ever purchased. This thing makes all vehicle events better. Camping, Football game tailgating, baseball tailgating, kids sports practice, take lunch to work, boating, hunting, fishing, all that stuff.

Plus, it holds a full case of beer!

The sliding floor gave me huge wood when I first saw it. You wouldn't even understand the trouble and expense I went to with my Land Rover to get the thing to slide out. I will post a pic of it later.

I camped quite a bit when I had my Rover. Now I have significant and costly build in front of me with the 4 Runner. Probably going with the ICON lift, an ARB bullbar (no winch), install HAM radio, CB Radio, Hella 1000 Lights, dual battery system, roof rack, Authome roof top tent, and drawer system, then I will get back at it.

Had a great trip in my Rover two years ago. Drove to Walsenberg CO, and then all off road from there to Crested Butte. Criss-crossing over several mountain passes, camping out the whole way. It was a blast. Not really knarly off-road, but no pavement. A few areas that were rough but nothing that I could really get stuck on?

Schrockworks Sliders ordered!!! :naughty:

Should be here in two months!!!:lmao:

I cannot wait to lie down on our 140 degree concrete and get them installed. I need an Antman as well, with a nice clean garage and HVAC in the shop. I bet there is a beer tap, fridge, manicurist (for when Sp8dball visits), and a jacuzzi to work out the kinks after a hard day of working on mods!!

You guys are the greatest. I am working to change the name of this thread to Reata's Build Thread. Working to contact a moderator. Anyone know the handle of a moderator?

P.S. Also have my eye on a Gobi Stealth rack!!! Hopefully, the lottery will hit me in the head soon.....stay tuned to the build. It will be slow (due to lack of dough $$$) but lots of fun.

The Moderators are listed on the lower right of the 5th Gen home page- I'm sure you could PM one to get the thread name changed.

Don't I wish I had a beer tap and fridge! Gave the mini fridge up to the wife a few months back. I do have a zillion candlepower of lights in the ceiling, HVAC, a ceiling fan, exhaust fan, wired stereo, cable TV, and a diamondplate step. Mancave! My wife gets mad when I wax the floor too... I have issues.


Can't wait to see your buildup- I wish we could hookup for some mods!

 

[Reata]

I do too Antman. If I ever get up there for work I am looking you and Sp8ball up.

Done.

Uneek,

Thank you so much for the conversion. I really appreciate it.

New Mod Over the Weekend

Here is my latest, and greatest mod. I was really, really, surprised that the shorty antenna wasn't flexible. I fully expected it to be pliable, but the reception in Big D is really good with it. I did stick the original mast in the secret compartment behind the back seat for when I get further away from the major metros.

[Antman]

Looks good, I have the same one. It convinced me that I really don't need to listen to the radio here in B-More, because my reception with it $ucks!!! Pandora all the way, baby!

 

[Reata]

Sorry for the interlude fellas, but I wanted to show you what kept me from the "always on" mod of the power outlet in the rear from Antman. Had a load of fun on the dirt roads today. Trailered it out from Dallas Friday and rode all day. Loads of fun!! I will try and get the mod done tomorrow (today) and post it up tomorrow, weather permitting.

Which antenna did you get? I am hoping to replace the whip soon. TIA!
