Re: The beginning off the kitchen
Looks great so far! Hope you're going to fit a gas shock that prevents it from opening too fast and also serves as a stay so that the door can be used as a table / shelf.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Good plan, the door then also acts as a backing / splash-plate.WESKUSKLONG wrote:Thanks ,The plan is to let it open all the way to mount the stove on hinges so when that folds down it is low enough to work , with the suspension and 33" its way to highMud Dog wrote:Looks great so far!

Re: The beginning off the kitchen
Ok and here is the end result .
The plan was to built something that I can remove easily .
The packing system (kitchenette) bolt together with 2 x M8 bolts and about 14 screws .
The load bin drawer bolt to the bin with 6x M8 bolts.
A few months ago I test the system in Nam and Botswana and it work great. So I decided to paint it with stone chip.
NOW I need to test it again just to make sure lol.....Leaving for Nam on Monday.
