Almost ready to drop in battery pack front end.jpg One thing bothering me is I have not yet welded the spring perches to the front axle. This sets the pinion angle for the front diff, and the weight from the battery pack I heard will compress the springs, causing a rotation to the axle housing, alte...

Same for inverter on other side

Outlander charger seems to fit nicely on top of the wheel arch/fender well. Fabricated mounting brackets

Loving the transmission access in this rig

Not mounted yet, but found some manual slider, heated seats from a Smartfortwo car

Built a mount for the Tesla model 3 throttle pedal

Front mount.jpg OK, the sun came back out and we are back on the wagon. Had to re-do the front transmission mount when I realized I hadn't planned for the front driveshaft travel (shown here is just a galvanized tube obviously, not the driveshaft :) ) Not a great pic, as the battery rear crossmembe...

I can vouch for Reider from Vero-Electric. I purchased his VeroBMS and have had great customer support!

It's been raining more than usual here (and of course only at weekends) so not much going on. My neighbor did stop by and ask was I building a CyberTruck

Agree, harvest those extra leads and you may have enough extra to only need to buy the cheaper bare connector for your next conversion

I thought I was done with structural rust repair and then spotted this little guy lurking under the dash 20240316_112900.jpg Of course, it turned into a bigger adventure than I anticipated when I looked from the other side. Needed to sort it out as it is around the door pillar area. Tricky spot with...

Cleaned up underside and working on parking brake cable routing which is different for these jeep axles than on the original Scout Fabricated new bracket and welded to frame

I dunno Greg, it's just down the road from you...... Bunnies are notorious for multiplying

Small update, but lots of time messing around finding fittings and parts to completely replumb the braking system. Chevy Volt Gen1 iBooster, proportional valve and 10 lb residual pressure release valve for the rear drums. All new NiCopp brake line throughout. First time using this stuff, and I'm sol...

I see a pattern Also ordered same charger from UK ebay seller. This is how mine arrived. Post lady seemed most concerned handing this to me.

I have that same PN ISA shunt that I got from EVWest and had it talking to zombie without issue, reading current and voltage on a bench test setup. That is a great price compared to what I paid.

I apologize for neglecting this thread! I am just picking up this project again. I just fetched a 2007 Tundra for sub $1k last week! I was about to use a 2005 Cayenne for the project but a 4x4 pickup truck is my preference... Next week, I should be able to test fit the LF1A transfer case shaft on m...

Yeah - hard to come by here in the US yet - Outlander PHEV was only very recently released here, just starting to see them on the roads.

Fitting the modules 20240101_164215.jpg I was able to reuse a lot of the bits from the original pack 20240102_135056.jpg I had to splice into the BMS harness to extend the reach to the top layer. Here is how it was originally. I bought a pin remover tool for the Molex minifit connectors, but for the...

Finished front and back battery box mounts and trial fitted: 20231221_132857.jpg I flipped the orientation of the top and bottom battery modules to better accommodate the available space. The top layer will overhang the transmission a little, giving room for a radiator up front (I hope) Not shown th...

Update: Finished welding the battery box: 20231210_164749.jpg Welded up a shelf to mount the inverter and closed some holes in the firewall: 20231204_110501.jpg Here it is with my wooden mockup. Sooooo much easier to handle this than the real battery box. You can also see the chassis front crossmemb...

Nice! What are you going to put in her?

You could - a LS600H

Did I see that Rivian wink at you as you passed (at ~8 mins in)?

With the drum brakes, you might need a pressure retention valve or residual pressure valve for a proper function with the newer style master cylinder. I'm not sure about the Scout, but some cars with drum brakes need to have a static pressure in the system even when the brake pedal is not depressed...

Have you spin up the ls600H transmission yet? Is it identical to the GS450H bar the transfer box? I like the look of that Hyundai EPAS, it looks way more compact than the Corsa options that are commonly used. Yes, see my video a few posts back. Seems pretty similar to GS450H, some inverter wiring s...
