My mom does the same with her Prius. Reece hitch, kayak rack the whole shebang.
I used my Honda Fit like a covered truck for years. Fold down the rear seats and you basically have a covered Ute.

From what I’ve seen of one of Kristijan’s builds it could be concealed in a pick up bed tool box is you needed to go stealth. Same can be said about the one in Ben Peterson’s Mustang. Or an axilary fuel tank that spans the bed.

Tom, this is the first time l am woodgasing a pickup and l feel a bit lightheaded. So much space 
l dont think l will be hideing the sistem much. Or will l?
Anyways, l am thinking about doing something rather bald. I plan to make a woodgas in a day challange. I might be wrong but l think l can woodgas this truck from start to DOW in less thain 24hours. We are in peak haying season but l might be able to sneak one day for the project. I am currently aquireing materials, today l bought a ribbed hose and connections and a few more oildrums wich shuld preety much be the only financial investment on the project. But as always, we will see…

Hi Kristijan, where I grew up in Moses Lake Washington State, USA. They did a farm in one day back in the 1960’s Everthing was prefab and brought in and set up. With lots of people and equipment. Your gasifer in one day will be much better for sure.

Hey KristijanL,
It is O.K. to say Charcoalgas-in-a-day.
We all know now you are a selling charcoal maker.
And I remember your pictured length of heavy wall tube for fluting you had shown.
Does the age of this vehicle; or the “farm-use” allow you not to be inspected like the Mercedes was?
Regards

Well Mr Steve preety much described my intentions 
Not at all. Its actualy registred as a work wehicle and not a personal vehicle and l actualy pay extra, a litle bit. Anual inspections for every vehicle here. Car, lory tractor, motorbike, scooter… Only brand new vehicles have a inspection after 4 years of use everything else is anual.
But l dont bother one bit about that. This sistem will be on-the-fly detachable. The truck has a tiny bed and sometimes l need a full space so the whole sistem will be under 100 pounds and quickly detachable. Hopefully

Too much work for one day! Will the time limit affect the build quality? 
I think that if you don’t cheat with the “preparatory work”, then you simply won’t have time.

Only work l will do beforehand is prepare the materials. Wich is a lot of work since l dont have such a big private asortimant of metalic goods (yunkyard) yet
also my wealder gun and plasma cutter are playing tricks on me… So tools breaking down are my bigest concern

Kristijan! Please tell us when it’s time. I’m slow enough to risk missing the entire event if you don’t

I’m kind of excited to see how this goes. Glad to see Joni is still around too.

This 24 hour gasifer build can be like a Argos event follow up. I know just being there has given me lots of new ideas and informative inspiration on what projects I have already in the works.
Kristijan set a time and date so we can all cheer you on. Maybe you could have your wife help with a go live on Facebook, or YouTube segments. “Kristijan 24 hour gasifer build”. Premiering. I could stay up all night watching you build, ofcourse your nights are my days.

Ha, lm getting old first sign of old age seems to be hangovers becomeing a thing…
for this project l decided to shift the equation. Instead of working fast l will make the build super simple. The gasifier the way its ment to be is a faw hour job, engine bay instalations might take time…

Another sign of aging is wisdom.

Wisdom with age. And that would mean not drinking so much when we get older. Right Steve?

How about not drinking as much when young so stupid moments are remembered as wisdom moments? Lot of young folks out there blundering through life with no direction or destination and fail to learn along the way. I learned long ago from grandpa and dad life ain’t easy and you gotta push forward. Grandpa was a farmer and mechanic, passed away working his farm. Dad is a heavy equipment operator and logger and at 63 is still out working paying bills and taxes. Life’s a garden, ya dig it!

Yes exactly what Kristijan is doing with his life now. Family raising and farming/gardening.
The wisdom is shaking loose from those 16 years to 32 year old “new-freedoms” possibilities that are actually Traps. Fall-in Pits.
Sure; alcohol is one. Drugs another.
But just as bad is uncontrolled sexuality: gambling; risks-taking and others. Now video gaming and video porno the new I’m OK. I am in control. No. You are not.
I ain’t without my own demons. Adrenaline junkie am I. It calls me.
Used to say your body can no longer cash the checks your youthful exuberances are writing.
Ha! Checks? Paper? What’s that? Some old 20th Century left-behind?
It’s pretty damn simple:
Wanna, be around 63+ to grandchildren knee bounce, you got to have cut the craps decades previously.
Ha! I can knee bounce these two young’uns. But have to wait for the 43- year old visitors to really chase them around to laughter collapses.
My youthful foolishness’s and indiscretions have come home to roost in my joints hurting hard since my 50’s.
Sigh. Then the head thumps and brain sloshes catch up on a fellow.
