Poptop L400

Post by jessef »

Coming soon to a Canadian country near you this spring :M

It will receive the usual unusual touches and upgrades. 8-)

Likely, I will have a fresh canvas sewn, cabinetry ~ ala ~ RichD, suspension lift/mods, etc.. done once it arrives.

I'm quite excited. Have never seen another like this before. A LWB and middle bench seat to boot.

There will definitely be a full camping unit inside, how can there not ? :-D

RichD is the master camper builder 8-) , so I will be approaching him on this one.

I will most likely get rid of the spare tire underneath to free up that bulk area and mount it on a swing out carrier. Extra fuel or water tank would go there. Possibly a webasto or espar diesel heater.

It's going to be a fun build. :M

Cannot wait to see what you do with this Canvas...

Talk to Jay about restoring that roof, he knows his fibreglass....

I also have an industrial sewing machine if need. It does not do fancy but punches through tough materials...

Happy New Year Jesse!

Looking at the photo of your L400; I have the same wheels, but how the hell do you get them that clean?

progress slow. between work and bacterial lung infection, it's been very slow. mechanicals done. lift installed with 31's and interior cleaned (windex/amonia/water diluted mix for headliner) perfect on a hot day.

remaining.
gel coat poptop
strip/repaint bull bars black
misc small stuff
