HoSS Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 A bit of a long overdue update. Recent progress: - Installed marine cables for the transfer box high/low and the autobox selector. - Moved the battery box and OBA compressor between the chassis. -Transfer box tested in place, and crossmember constructed. Some pics: Crossmember The lifting cab in action The custom manifold OBA tank New version dash panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejparrott Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I do wish the body just lifted like that on my 88 sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoSS Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 I do wish the body just lifted like that on my 88 sometimes! Yeah its a nice feature, glad i did it. Its even worse on a standard C303, you have do do all your maintenance through the wheel arches or through a hatch in the cabin only 50cm x 75cm. (Which also makes the cabin more noisy. Have welded that up) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 That's looking great! Love the dash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carloz Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 First of all: great project! I love these Volvo's! :-) But also some (hopefully usefull) criticism: - the crossmember looks like two leafsprings connected with a piece of box section: not very stable. - and the lock for the cabine, is that attached with only two vulcanized rubber mounts? What happens when these shear off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I must've missed it - why so much on-board air capacity on an overlander? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoSS Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Sorry for the lack of updates, but not much has happened. Time is more scarce since starting a new job. I've also rethought the plans for the rear camper body, so have actually move backwards and changed a few things. - Got rid of the air/water intercooler, and will fit an air intercooler behind the cab. - Still thinking on how to get more axle/engine clearance (move up = lift cab more, move back = a big PITA, dry sump, doesnt help much) - Rear body will be a hard side lifting roof similar to the picture below. Am going to invest in a TiG to make up the Ali frame. Have to finish design and locate Alu profile. Source composite wall panels.

Anyway the compressor and tank were a freebie taken from a 90 equipped with trailer air braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
