datsunfreak Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I liked the shiny hardware, but Tim did not. So we compromised and did it his way... 😁 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) And as you can see, Tim relocated the license plate while I wasn't looking... 😁 He snapped a photo of the plate relocation, but it came out not quite as intended... 😊 Edited November 26, 2020 by datsunfreak 1 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted November 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Windows tinted today... 2 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 With the windows tinted, we went ahead and put in the bed/couch cushion/mattress thingy. Which left the last piece of the interior puzzle being this, cutting and installing the wood paneling for the sliding side door... 2 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted December 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Tim wanted to make a shelf for the mattress to rest on when retracted into the sofa position, so we did... We got some speaker box covering material and attached it to the top of the deck, and wrapped the new shelf in it. As you can see there's a support in the middle, and it's screwed to the tops of the speaker boxes on the sides. It seems to blend well, and is fairly stiff, so it could also be used as a shelf for putting things on when the bofa is down in bed mode. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Also, keen eyed observers can see the bass tube is no longer back there. We moved it up to the front, just behind the driver's seat. Tim wanted some more boom whilst driving. 😁 On the underside of the deck, we mounted one of these instead. It seems to provide ample bass to the house stereo (not as much as the tube, but enough). Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Tim wanted a little more JDM in his shift selection... 😁 Edited January 2, 2021 by datsunfreak 2 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Also, Tim decided that 13mpg was just too high, so he is having the stock 3.55 rear gears swapped out for a 4.10 set. 😄 4 Quote Link to comment
EDM620 Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 LOL, like my old CJ with a well-built but thirsty 360, on it's 10 gallon gas tank I could fly from gas station to gas station! 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Tim swapped in a bigger tach, and added a shift light... With the new gears, it turns out the speedo is kinda way off. When it says 80mph, you are really going 70mph. So hopefully next time we are there we are going to try and swap out the speedo pinion with one that has more teeth to fix it... 1 Quote Link to comment

dimlight65 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) So one of the reasons I built all of that camper crap in the back of a Dajiban was... well, I had it. But, the reason I had it was I was going to install it in the Statutory Grape. Aaaaand, the reason I bought it for the Statutory Grape was AT&T U-recTV doesn't have the MeTV channel. "Do whut?" I hear you asking. MeTV has a show called Svengoolie on Saturday night. Svengoolie (a character created by "comedian" Rich Koz out of Chicago) shows old Universal horror movies interspersed with bad skits and really bad puns. I love it. I decided that a TV, in a van, with a sofa, would allow me to watch Svengoolie. Of course, I totally forgot this reason until tonight when I finally sat in the back of the Dajiban and watched "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" and groaned at all the horrible, no I mean REALLY horrible, "jokes" Svengoolie throws out.
