remove rear seats, install chemical toilet. Or rip out carpet and use existing holes where the floor had rotted out :P Front passenger window doesnt work anyway so theres your vent.

Done all that. Electronics still don't like water, kinda hard to just toss them aside.

Not all hippies are evil...

I've seen electrical components sealed with tupperware bowls and silicon, do it right and it looks and works pretty legit.

Lol speaking of deep water crossing, i crossed some water that i THOUGHT was about a foot deep as it normally is, instead it was around 2-3 feet deep. Needless to say i felt like i needed a new pair of underwear when water was coming through one of the grommits on the firewall onto my feet.. LMAO

I've got no issue with hippies. Just the people who try to take away my right to do what I want with my own property on my own property when I'm not hurting or damaging anything.

jeepJunky had a LCOG his rubbermade container. I forget what thread tho...

Was a slick setup. I will eventually do something similar with my ECU. My dash is already out.

I think thats actually where i seen it to, looked nice as hell and i'd imagine it would work as good as it looked.

And yeah i feel the same way, around where im from hippy doesnt have the meaning it does in the rest of the U.S. Mostly because its the homeplace of Alchemy, so we see lots of hippies roll in and out quite often

And if you want to hear something funny... listen at least till he brings up Captain Planet.. that part is hilarious
