Ooohhhh...

 

A must have feature for Jan in Edmonton

 

Is it actually refrigerated? Or just air conditioned?

 

It literally just redirects some of the vent air into the glovebox when you open the valve. So it's not strictly speaking "refrigerated" but it is definitely capable of keeping drinks and food cool in the summer.

Bill didn't you know it was +10 here yesterday? I gotta break out my shorts soon

 

Installed leather shift knob and steering cover.

 

Looking good, your interior is really coming together

 

Thanks man, it's definitely been fun for me to see my plans come together piece by piece!

Might have to give in to the clazzios eventually, but I've got bigger plans coming for now, which is why I've been putting mods off for while...

 

Took off the deflector. To be replaced with clear bra in the spring and a repaint.

 

Looks much cleaner without it, I am glad I removed mine too

 

It's definitely a step in the right direction!

 

Received a giant box from Taiwan today!!

 

Well? I hope there was something very expensive in it?? Sssssh don't tell eh?

 

Box is at a shop. I'll go pick it up today, but it can't do anything on its own right now.

 

Heres the box!!!




Air Rex air suspension system with adjustable dampening and adjustable strut length. Rear lengths aren't adjustable so I'm not sure how that's going to work yet


Fronts are double bellow


rears are tiny sleeve type.



management setup is in the works...

 

Hey one box is not enough for this project. Good luck and have fun.

 

Nice! Can't wait to see the result.
I would wrap that thing up for Canadian winter.

Thanks guys! I can't wait to see this in action either. Still working on the management side of things and gotta build up funds for the install as well.

Inkster thanks for that great idea. I wonder how well that would work over bags though?

Looks like the threads were the most damaged part anyway so I could still do those at the very least. it would be a hell of a lot easier to do the measuring before the struts are in so I should probably make those asap!


My plan for the management at the moment is to use the viair 444c comp and mount it right behind the front rebar using rubber mounts. This should eliminate cabin noise and also leave room in the tire well for the other stuff. Tank wise I'm going to need something that fits the 6 inch height clearance I got in the tire well and no more than 22 inches long without fittings. There's a 2.5 gal tank on the bag riders site which should just barely fit.

For my system I'm gunna go with the accuair elevel height based system. Going with the "basic" rocker switch interface for now but plan to upgrade to the ilevel iPhone interface later.

Plan to install in May!!

 

Accuair ELevel FTW. And you don't have to conceal the tank in the spare tire well do you? Could mount it on top of that. Sure you'd be losing your trunk space, but oh well.

 

really trying to make the trunk as OEM as possible. i regularly carry tons of crap in the back, so i need the flat floor and all the space.

sure i could build a false floor, but to me thats the last resort and giving up. I know i can make everything fit under there.

heres the tank im probably gunna use, its a little small so i plan to make up for it by running it at or close to 200psi. BAG RIDERS | AIR LIFT ALUMINUM 2.5 GALLON TANK

 

Excellent White Fit. Your mods are totally cool. Got so many ideas from your set-up. Wheels are awesome but too pricey for my small budget.
Keep up the great work. Nice to see how its developing. Will keep watching.
