Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
Arbalest is an old project vehicle that I picked up specifically for Burning Man/Camping purposes.
It's old, was horribly cranky from the previous owner (who apparently never hear of changing oil OR how to fix a radiator hose), and it looks like the paint will fall off in chips if you sneeze too hard at it.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:

Unknown/None.
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Unknown/None.
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
*Replaced old oil gauge with new digital gauge (replaced in-dash).
*Newly fabriced roof panels with custom cloth fabric.
*180 degree rotating chairs.
Future Modifications:
*Redoing interior carpet (current carpet looks like it was in a Mechanic's garage floor....but being 21 years old, that's sorta to be expected).
*Pulling center chair near double doors out due to space concerns.
*Custom-fit insulation panels for putting into all windows when @ playa/campground for passive thermal comfort.
*Custom-fit roof-mount for shade-cloth mounting when @ playa/campground for passive thermal comfort.
*"Pot-In-Pot" passive evaperative cooler powered by 12VDC 1AMP solar panel for fan airflow for active in-cabin thermal comfort.
*External 120VAC plug w/ extension cord and interior 120VAC plug used for powering various interior goods while at a friends house.
*Interior LED lights on roof crossbeams & Window Valences, as well as high-output LED lighting for cabin sleeping area.
*Interior redone to reflect a swanky palace interior.
*Doorbell mounted on exterior for guests coming over to visit.
*Secondary battery bank for interior lighting/power needs, powered/recharged via alternator relay switch & solar/wind renewable source.
