Installing a Hatch for Stove and Storage_Drawer System Project_Isuzu Trooper

Original Fab Summer 2013

Stage One, Mod for a installing a stove compartment and storage hatch, 2014

Stage Two

I decided to remove the hinges from the hatch shown in image1 after experiencing the limited options of access it provided me in some applications.  Pictured in Image3 is an adapter for a small cooler used for dairy and other such perishables.

Main Storage modified to carry greater load and fold all the way back

Location for rear anchors.  

Future Overland Vehicle Plan: by 2015

Here's the plan:

Move forward as planned to build up the Trooper...Finish only the modifications already started.
Keep the truck in good working order...

• Install new shocks
• General Full Service and Tranny Service
• Complete wiring for all lights
• Complete Stove project
• Complete Carpeting for drawer system
• Install collapsable  computer station on passenger seat

Late Spring:

• Purchase Vanagon, light camper set-up.
• Purchase diesel motor and tranny for Trooper and convert
• Finish all modifications
• Sell

2015:

• Sell Vanagon
• Purchase diesel utility vehicle, preferably a pinzgauer

Sounds like a plan.

Stash it here stateside.  Go abroad. 

Come back and have a diesel vehicle ready to go.
