    BlackSheep's Bar-B van

    Yesterday and today I spent a lot of time on the AC (alternating current, not air conditioning) system. I have a shore power plug on the van so I’ll take advantage of that for those times I’m in a place with shore power. I decided to purchase some power block busses so I can relatively easily...

    BlackSheep's Bar-B van

    I also did a bunch of electrical work. I started at the back where the water tank Is. I added three outlets - a double USB, a double Anderson powerpole and a round socket. Two switches are in the photo but one will be replaced. The upper switch is to power on the outlets. The lower switch is...

    BlackSheep's Bar-B van

    A few updates since the last one. I finished and installed the shelving. Most doesn’t look any different from the photos above as all I had to do to install was screw them down. The one that did change since the last photo is the one across the back. After setting it in place and putting a...

    BlackSheep's Bar-B van

    Turns out that not all of my electrical parts came in today but no worries, there’s plenty to do. After sanding and staining, then setting aside to dry, the shelving I decided to figure out how I was going to mount the water tank and pump. I need to do better at taking before photos. The...

    BlackSheep's Bar-B van

    I had to order a DC fuse block and a couple of AC power distribution blocks so while I am waiting I decided to work on some shelving that I had planned. In August last year I added the copper tubing to act as retainers for the baskets that sat on an existing shelf created when the OE roof was...

    BlackSheep's Bar-B van

    Yesterday I started on fabbing the electrical box extension that will fill the space beneath the freezer when it is in it's drawer closed position. Today I got the frame tacked together: Then I mocked it in position to check the fit I made a couple of minor mistakes. They won't really...

    BlackSheep's Bar-B van

    Today I was working on fitting the electrical box and considering modifications to the freezer drawer slider and the cabinet that sits over the top of the electrical box / freezer. In order to make sure the electrical box fit properly, I decided to start fitting the new flooring I got the other...

    BlackSheep's Bar-B van

    After nearly a week of working on the battery box and electrical box I have finally re-installed the battery box. During the week I added mounting tabs to both the battery box and the electrical box and riv-nuts to bolt them down. My intention is that I'll be able to remove the cabinets and...

    BlackSheep's Bar-B van

    My previous post showed how I was trying to seal the battery compartment because I found moisture inside when I pulled the battery. Well, this is what my electrical box looks like now: Yep, I pulled the complete box from the van. As I was working on trying to make an insulator for the...

    2004 LJ LS swap - Transfer case shift linkage replacement to cable system

    I used the Savvy off road t-caseshifter kit on my 2004 TJ Rubicon. They make a different part for the 231 but it’s the same concept. I did a 1” body lift along with 1” motor mount lift and Barnes skid plate. All of those mods made me worried that the stock shifter wouldn’t work well so I just...

    Mine has been delayed. looks like a back-order situation. Too many people ordering these things I guess.

    Duck Jeep? WTF??

    Too many pages of replies to know if this (or something like it) had already been posted. Apologies if it has. I looked it up because a friend, who is not a Jeep person, gave me a duck because “she heard it’s a thing”. I thanked her but told her I don’t play that game. Instead, I put it up at my...

    BlackSheep's Bar-B van

    In an attempt to seal the battery compartment I used silicone sealant on the inside and bought some Gorilla patch and seal tape for the bottom. I did my best to clean the surfaces on the bottom so I hope it works. Sealing that box actually took a couple days as I painted the inside and had...

    NAPA 12-Volt Dual Air Compressor (MT-WM102-15C)

    They’re so cheap it wouldn’t be worth shipping from SC. This is the way.

    NAPA 12-Volt Dual Air Compressor (MT-WM102-15C)

    120A gives a little more buffer. I didn’t see that one in anything but the 2 pack. Probably didn’t look enough.

    NAPA 12-Volt Dual Air Compressor (MT-WM102-15C)

    150A relay perhaps like this one? Physically smaller than the 300A that you noted earlier.

    What did you use to crimp the powerpole contacts?
