This the right box to go with? Link

I enclosed mine in an AC breaker box bought HD

That looks like a pretty solid idea. I was wondering just how waterproof the normal box would be.

 

[Silverback]

Not much water gets under there. I have a blue seas box under all 3 rigs hoods and no issues.

Yeah you really gotta be swimming for awhile to fill that engine area up

 

[thekidcatcher]

Synthetic line, new fairlead, stopper, ARB awning, rebuilding the rear brakes kit, air filter, and new winch remote batteries. All going in on Saturday in prep for Big Bend.

 

[Silverback]

Which line did you go with? I'm on my second one.

 

[thekidcatcher]

I think it's Auxmart. I'm not spending 400 on my first synthetic line until I know their weaknesses . 20k strength and about 200 bucks. I like the color

Where did you pick it up at? Never heard of the brand.

My hood always had water/mud marks above that location on both sides of the engine..... but my truck did do some swimming

Damn that sucks! Is that a Hilux?

Yep. Hilux owner who didn't know to use his e-brake when launching his boat. Bet he remembers next time

Damn! I get splash marks but no solid lines. I still try to avoid deep water anyways

A true snorkel rig right there

 

[Silverback]

Its just a James Bond rig.

Haven't updated this in forever but really have not had a lot of time to give the ole gal some TLC.

Michael posted my camera but here it is again. Mounted up high facing forward so I can see the axle and driveshaft. I do not use it on the highway, it is for offroad purposes

After that, in old age, I realized I like some of the more creature comforts of camping. Installed (detachable) a propane shower system and hook up system for my two burner stove to run on a 20lb tank. Thing gets HOT!!! All are welcome to use it, just bring your own jug of water

Pretty cool! Ive seen people using similar for off grid cabins.
