This is a a really well equipped and thoughtful build - is it still for sale?

Tent top and all gear sold and installed!

I’m here - been driving across country for a family matter and offline.

Well - I figure it would be a road trip / vacation for a lot of people. I drove 2 days to San Diego to get the tent top when I bought it from the previous owner. A distant buyer could drive hard to get here - install and then plan a leisurely camping trip on the way home.

Hi Dale - Thanks but I did a lot of work and careful research on the Jeep mods too. If I sold it, I would buy another and then I would have to go through all that again. SPOD, lights, air compressor, suspension lift, wheels and tires, front and rear recovery bumpers, winch, Iphone mounts, CB...

I'll let you know if things pan out that way. I would like to sell most or all of it to one buyer if possible.

It is - it has locking latches so although I used it to create a kitchen and did not need the security it makes a good large safe. When up it is not apparent to someone looking in the Jeep - it seems like part of the roof, so most people don't even notice its there until it is lowered,

Items we are keeping include the Jeep tailgate table in the photos, pots, pans, dishes and cutlery, sleeping bags and Exped air mattress, folding camping table and chairs. Other than that, it’s a complete setup ready to go. How the top is stored in our garage – an electric hoist and pulleys are...

The fridge is mounted to the fridge stove slide with 4 bolts and the slide is mounted to Unistrut channel and spring nuts in the rear of the Jeep. The Unistrut is mounted to existing factory tie down points - a secure solution requiring no modification to the Jeep. Removing the fridge and stove...

The Dometic lithium battery with custom aluminum box mounted to the roll bar. The box has a shelf in the bottom for charging iPads off the battery (The phones get charged in the front of the Jeep). The Dometic battery is charged from the rear cigarette lighter. There are 2 positions in the Jeep...

Attached photo - one of the best devices to have if you are in a vehicle with limited water capacity – a Geyser systems heated shower which stows in the corner of the J180 top when travelling. The Geyser system shower takes time to heat up so it was more practical to heat water on the Partner...

At left in the attached photo is the Nemo shower tent which has Nemo folding clover leaf floor mats, the folding toilet and the Geyser systems shower. The cooking setup. On the left side of the Jeep is a Socalteardrops aluminum fridge and stove slide with a Dometic CFX3 35 fridge and 22” two...

In coming up with a camping/overlanding setup for our Jeep, I did not want to install permanent slide out drawers or delete the rear seat(s) as many people do because we use it to take our houseguests off-roading in the mountains. So, I needed to be able to switch out the camping tent top and...

I am in Ridgway, Colorado so this would probably be a road trip or part of a vacation for some prospective buyers - I can work with a buyer on timing. The good part about that is this area is a vacation destination with about 400 miles of Jeeping trails – that campsite near Chimney Rock is just...

To determine the asking price, I set the used J180 top value at $8,000 and then looked up the retail price of all the other gear and divided it in half – which is a nice deal since it was lightly used and is in excellent condition. Below is a table listing all the equipment which gets to an...
