Hey thanks! Yea, should fit my kayak perfectly, I’ll post in update when it’s all rigged up for camping.

Here is the 5th and final part of my build. Hope you guys enjoy it!

HA!

Thanks! MAN! you aren't kidding! Those plywood chips and splinters were CRAZY to clean up. It was pretty much every part of the shell. I agree, with everything removed, I was surprised at how much space there was on the platform.

Hey thanks! I really appreciate it! I will have another episode ready this week I think. I am just going down the time line in my phone and editing videos as they happened over the summer.

Hey there! I finally got around to editing the next episode of my project. Here it is, I hope you enjoy it!

Here are some shots of the fuse box, the relay, and a video of the engine surging. Some history; before it was parked and used as storage, it functioned perfectly. The last time I had to move it, I accidentally crossed the battery wires. After that it would not turn over. I ended up rigging an electric fuel pump to it just to get it home, worked, but had the exact same issue, when I stopped pushing the fuel peddle it would die. I’m guessing when I crossed the wires I fried SOMETHING? I’m starting at the relays, but there are a few other switches with power running to them. Right now, I have replaced the mechanical fuel pump and as far as I know, there was never an electric pump? detail- while searching for a vacuum leak, I pulled a small hose leading into one of the switches and the idle instantly improved, it ran well until I pushed the gas peddle and then it died. It would not idle again until it was cool. hope these details, I will keep you all posted with any progress. IMG_9589.MOV

WHY IS IT IN MY TRUCK!?!?! HAHAHA Seriously though, I think I have found a suitable replacement. looks like, Part Number: 909870200483 is compatible with this situation? Just now digging into possible solutions. I will post some video of the surge the engine is experiencing, as well as photos of the fuse box.

I was doing that today and found nothing, I did however pull one hose and put it back and the idle improved. I'm wondering if it may be one of the 2 relays. The Toyota part # 85931-35010 Relay, Emission one to be exact.... as it turns out it has been discontinued. What does one do when a part has been discontinued?

Hi friends! I am happy to report that I have nearly finished my RV to flatbed conversion. I am having one last annoying problem with the engine; it seems to have a vacuum leak that I can't track down. The engine will fire right up and idle just fine until it warms up, then it does not want to idle. It runs and drives fine, but as soon as I take my foot off the gas, the dies. This is not ideal for any kind of city driving. Any ideas on where to start? I have some more info that I will share in order to help identify the problem but I thought I would just get this out there ASAP to start the process. Thanks in advance.

Hey all, back to working on my 1984 Phoenix. I finally got the original floor torn out, and discovered this crazy frame design. I think this is the same as the guy that built the motorcycle mount. my question is, do you all think I should reinforce my frame the same way as the other guy? Or do you think I can just build straight onto it as long as I never plan to support more weight than just me and my tent/camping gear?

No worries, I’d just like to talk to the builders and see more pics, but I’m sure I’ll work it out just fine. Thanks again.

Any updates on this build? Do you have some more pics? I am working on something very similar and would love to see more!

THANKS! I was wondering if anyone else had ever had a similar idea! Really appreciate the info!
