One roof rack fabrication completed - screen has to be welded on the other #2 sides - then a good cleaning - primer and paint. Will not pre drill the footpads till we find the exact placement for them - then drill and attach/same as the ladders.

That is what I like about this site - straight forward and seeing everyone's ideas - you can make them your own to fit your needs - or just change em up and go with it.

Updating Shop Van Internal Electrical Components?

Eventually I'll get rolling on more than cosmetic fixes and have asked myself this question. (My biggest fear is waking up suddenly in a bed along the front wall of the box and banging my head into the PARTICULARLY deep box controlling the blower fan...)
Any conceptual changes for changing/replacing these components from the electrically minded?

APS2424 - PowerVerter APS Inverter/Charger with Auto-Transfer Switching
This my solution to the power in the 109 box. I don't want to run a generator so I picked up this 2400 watt inverter charger on amazon for around $580. It will run almost all of my ac needs and will recharge my 4, 6volt, deepcycle batteries when plugged into line voltage. It's 24 volt input so at highway speed the truck alternator will supply dc power to run the air conditioner and fridge in the box. I will remove the original converter box and rewire to the new inverter mounted under the seating benches.

Great idea for relocation of the box.
Spent the afternoon grinding down the cargo top box racks and ladders - then acid washing them all - then sprayed bed liner coating on them - will have about 3 coats on them when finished.
Trucks getting painted has been a patience issue but I know there is an end nearly in site - cannot wait to post pics of them DONE finally - and then get started on all the fabrication.
My garage is full of items to install including the 4 KW genset from the RV to mine in place of the tool box under the drivers door and for my friends to the upper cargo rack that I built.
More to come shortly.

Tried to get close enough pics of the racks and ladders with the bed liner coating on them - hooked up the primer spray gun and narrowed down the spray to eliminate the "fan" spray and more of a circular spray. Did thin it out with laq thinner. Shot it with 3 good coats and used almost the gallon of spray. I can always paint over these now and have a good solid base under the paint.
I included the rattle can type trigger for those who are not aware of its existance - I guess almost everyone here is though - makes it really easy on the trigger finger if you have 1 or more cans to spray.
The marker lights I will just add the pics - my friends truck will get the Mil stype markers in place of the reflectors and I am sticking the raised on mine - these are led 24 volt lights.

After thinking this guy was a flash in the pants here we go:
I wish I get time to just drive over to the GA rally to meet some member - but as you can tell - looks like I will be totally involved in truck work. Anyone following this thread can figure out what is in store once they hit the property.
Here is a pic before & after for those picture fanatics (like me) (nothing is good without a pic unless your physic).
I bought a vinyl top from a Ga member here - and before I pick mine up I guarantee it will be installed - anyone watching the weather know we are in for another monsoon.
The second unit at this time is physically in the paint booth for its dry time - it will be here by fri also and YES I will forward pics of #2.
I will send pics as the build takes place.
Anyone wanting to pass though Lilburn off hwy 78 on your way to the rally are more than welcome and the BBQ will also be open. Plenty of part time parking and there is no problem with anything that would roll in here - Just pm me and we can work it out. Let not kindness make you think it is a sign of weakness - any bums will not like how I handle things. I enjoy straight forward members. Will share this build as it continues.
