I'm going to try Sorry everyone, I lost my post and have referred it to the moderator, something about pics.. Hope this post works, I'll have to try again tomorrow

So I did some work on the interior and my portable tree. Most of the time I spent on the interior was removing the handles on my Waeco freezer and replacing them with handles made from a piece of webbing belt. This freed up about 120mm space and the top cabinet of my general purpose storage is...

Yet another "find" For what you fellas call a buck fifty, (R20) I got this: - A rather nice work table for my Landrover re-configure project....  I don't have a gararge, only a carport. So I have to pack thing out, lay them on the ground, find handy places to put tools hardware ETC...

So it’s time to pay forward for all the blooming good tips / ideas / thoughts / information, that I’ve “stolen” from this forum. Being informed – knowing the theory / background really does help when faced with “what does one do”... Having spent time in a company that made <amongst other...

My experience with the hand crank washer, called here in South Africa, A SPUTNIK is that they take just as much effort as anything else.. been down that garden path and I still the instructions somewhere (i'll dig them out & post them if somebody wants) from what I rememeber, you need to use...

BACKGROUND...  (I’ve done some posting’s on the forum conversions and modifications about my project) So post shakedow, and tweeking some of the things that where not that great, and re-organising my clothing storage (from a backpack to a 3 draw plastic draw unit on the passenger seat & facing...

Hi Grace Thanks for posting in.... I do value comments, and yours definately put a smile on my face at 06:00 in the morning, here at my "office" in the factory... Being the Quality & ISO MR for the organisation, when I joined this company 11 years ago, I opted to put my desk right in the...

So I got It'l Dodat (that's my Landrover's love-hate name, shortened from: - if I want to do this, it will do that.... If i want to do that, it will blooming well do this.....) Any how, I got him back from the doctor yesterday and it's all good, so there's me, early evening, back into the...

SIGH.........

Yet another good day at the dumps... Not that productive but still damn lucky. A Solingen sheath knife about 6’’ in blooming good condition... Cost R0.00. Scratched it out of a box of “bills / receipts / old cheque books and similar stuff.... I’ve learnt, them boxes with rubbish inside...

Morning everybody. A big thank you to everybody who viewed my project posts, I sincerly hope that there was some info that I was able to pay forward. :cool: For a number of “global” reasons, living a “free life” in SA would be very difficult. That being said, I do know of a few who are...

Fiddly bits: - Gas / water / medics / getting in and out. Gas bottle / water ... medics - first aid are under the platform. Access through the rear nearside door... Hi BOB... Got the same folding step, actually two of them, Also think they are great, yours is black, mine are green :cool: ...

Afternoon HDR Sorry I missed. You are of course right... I factored the duty cycle in as a "margine of safety" and here is why. before the Waeco (mines got the Grinfoss) I used an absorption freezer. With that bloody thing twice I lost everything: - :@ :@ The 12v is just plain useless, so...

Morning HDR & MaTaLa really does sounds a bit like me..... at 61 I'm all cracked up-n-ready for the "ash-heap" :D I'm not fussed, It's nice, but if it falls apart, I'll return it frome whence it came... But for now I'll just enjoy it... ;)

Did I mention that part of my build plan was to pay nothing ?    :D   Anyhow this is where the wheels nearly fell off because of the wheel well. With my Waeco 50L flat on the platform, the wheel well pushed it into the bed space, and it was nearly impossible  to look into the freezer, and If...
