YETI Interior Build/Overview

[pratty85]

McZippie,
I like the sound of your setup and it seems really efficient! Esp. since I have a high idle setting on my DP Tuner chip. But I don't want to carry 2 different types of fuel, and I don't have the space for a diesel generator. With the increasing efficiency and durability of solar panels, I am going to take full advantage of the sun. My panels are not going to be permanently fixed like most peoples, I will be able to park in the shade and simple run my extension chord out into the sun to achieve maximum absorption. http://www.zampsolar.com/ This place has a nice portable kit with quick connects with a reasonable price.

Right now I am running dual Diehard Platinum Deep cycle batteries with 933cca. I have been running them for about 10 months now. Very impressed to say the least. I am going to stick with having 2 different charging systems for now. I need to make use of that nice skid-plate space. Now with UJOR's OBA kit, I no longer need to mount my compressor back there.

Great write up on a great build! The Adrian liner is such a nice piece, a clean, safe solution for sure.

The difference in him squeezing the 4" DP in there is that it is a 7.3, a little different than trying that with a 6.0, with store bought goodies anyway.

I was mostly just hijacking (sorry) to give ujoint a hard time (for fun of course!). That 4" is so burly looking jammed under the doghouse. I like it.

I ordered one of those overhead storage things, and they are nothing like the picture. no storage space and build really cheap. I returned it. I have been wanting and overhead storage area esp for my CB radio setup, but it looks like I will have to make one.

Good to know. I am going to have to make my own anyway, so now I don't feel too bad that this one doesn't work.

No worries, I wasn't bustin' your hump, just trying to pass info. I know tone can be difficult in writing.

Thanks! I Really like it now that everything is installed. Just twiddling my thumbs waiting on the custom sofa bed to get here! I just received my hood louvers today, so Those will get installed. And I have to re-seal the rear pop out windows.

Well after getting the sides installed I decided to skip the plywood under the rubber mat. It would have given me a flatter floor, but it would have caused my walls to not sit flush. But given the design I can easily install it later.

Well I finally received the right pieces for the headliner and installed them. So my walls, ceiling, and floor are done.


I also received my ladder from www.toolup.com.
I ordered the carrying case for easy storage. Here it is next to a 35" tire:

Here is it collapsed out of the case:


Here it is extended for roof rack access:

Here it is completely extended to show its reaching capabilities, that is the top of the railing on the second story.
