KIA 2500 Conversion
The first upgrade was a radio! As you can see in the pictures above, it came with no radio! Had to get on the internet and find what info I could on the KIA standard wiring because it had din plugs ready and I needed to know what ones were for what! The radio is a WiFi, Bluetooth with USB and GPS capability!
In the pictures below, I demonstrate my new backup camera activated! You get to see my dirty workshop hehehe!
So, I had pictures of the window tint somewhere, but you can see it in the full pictures. Had a Gold tint put on all the windows except the windshield. Then as you can see here, I installed rain guards over the cab windows and bought a super nice sunscreen windshield blocker. I also installed the sunblock banner on the outside, not an easy 1 person task I might add.
This is the inside as we bought it with row seating that could hold about 16 people, I soon removed it for the next phase!
The next phase was insulation in the inside cavities, I wasn't planning on buying tin foil covered but the hardware I went to for lumber had just the right amount, last in stock and I got a discount on it just because I think the owner decided he might not get another chance to sell it. It's 10mm poly-foam tin foil covered on both sides, it is very firm. Then covered with the 1/4 inch plywood painted on both sides. The floor got the same 10mm insulation under the 3/4 inch plywood. I have to complain about the Philippine imported Chinese crap, so bad. The plywood can break very easily between layers.Â
I proceeded to un-convert out Suzuki mini van as you can see on it's own pages to use everything I could from it. This is the bed setup expanded to a full size 48" from a 36 inch pull-out!
