For what it's worth, My Diesel "Michael Fuchs" camper gets ********** on 24mpg. It's heavy, and has 35x11 tires. When I drove it cross-country as a bone-stock Rubicon I had many tanks of 28mpg and one of 29. -Dan

Camper looks fantastic!

It's genuinely one of the upgrades I wish I had known about a long time ago. So, so much better now. -Dan

Hi Everyone, The Jeep has been an incredible house on wheels for us for a year through twelve countries on three continents. Now it's time for a round of upgrades to make it even better. With these three upgrades it's easier to drive, more comfortable to drive and now has more storage space...

The bolt pattern on the Jeep 3.8 is *extremely* close to a lot of Mercedes stuff, because the NSG 370 6 speed is made by Mercedes. When you buy a clutch, flywheel and throw out bearing for the 3.8 from a Jeep dealer they all have Mercedes part numbers and logos on them. The bolt pattern on the...

But aren't the front doors longer than the rear doors, which is the whole reason to use all front doors? Also I really like your idea, but the inside would be a pain I think. -Dan

This is incredible, thanks for bringing us along and for so many pictures. I'm really curious what you do about that door triangle problem. If not for that it really would look factory. I'm a bit confused about the rear doors that are on that concept that was at SEMA. Where did they come from...

Yes, we will have the JL Jeep camper there on display - happy to give you a tour of the inside if you like. -Dan

EIMSKIP is "THE" shipping line of Iceland. They run a container ship weekly from the east coast of North America to Iceland and back. It leaves from Portland, ME and Halifax, NS, Canada every week. I paid $3,350 inside a 20 footer. It was slightly less than double that for a return trip...

Hi Everyone, As many people know the "F" roads in Iceland are remote gravel roads that lead to stunningly beautiful places. After hanging out with a few locals and getting the real info, I learn there are a ton of Jeep tracks that conncet the F roads together that are much more remote, wild and...

The pass through is really nice too. We don't climb through it often, but we put gear on the front seats basically every time we're in the back as additional storage to free up "people space" in the back. -Dan

Have you seen what a friend and I built? Full build series in this playlist, shows every single step along the way -Dan

To my eye, that looks like the "closeout kit" GR8Tops is releasing for the JL and JT to turn both of them into two doors. If something like that had existed a few years ago I probably would have tried to build my camper on a JT. -Dan

Cheers. I just posted over there, hopefully people find all the info about shipping helpful. Yes. I started work on The Road Chose Me Volume 3 (Australia) and have it about half done... but then I got a little sidetracked building a Jeep camper, then having a baby, then going to Iceland and...

That's cool to hear. Do you have a link to the thread? I'm happy to post helpful info over there. -Dan
