Interested with the seat mod. I’m actually looking into 2011-2015 patriot mk seats that had the fold flat passenger side, so that my sleeping platform can extend on top of the folded seat. Sounds like the limited trim had it but not all. A buddy with a ‘15 limited says his has it. Searching the...

Just crawled under the jeep and actually seriously considering this now. How hard was it beyond taking the time to bend the new floorpan and fit it all in place? Any issues with driveshaft clearance when the rear suspension is fully compressed? My bed platform will sit over this regardless...

Stop!! Don’t tempt me to chop my body more until I can finish the current project [emoji23] Nice work though, I was thinking about relocating the ebrake adjustment bracket along the drive side of the Floorpan and putting a 4 gallon rectangle water tank under there with a belly pan to keep the...

Stopped in the metal supply this morning and got the remaining material for the roof edge lip. The cherokee took two 10’ angle steel to run the perimeter. Lining it up wasn’t too bad, just took time and patience with the clamps. Forgot how much I dislike flux core welds though... exchanged my...

Making progress, looks good. How are you planning to attach the aluminum trim? Screws, adhesive, rivets?

Still unsure on this. The lower will definitely have a full-time full-size bed. This holds the advantage of more head room with the top up, and the ability to still stealth camp comfortably with the top down. I have a hammock/cot concept or to do something like the GFC Tacoma platform, but...

As I'm progressing on renovating the camper concept, I've done a bit of clean up I've removed most all the rattles by fixing the dash and removing loose interior plastic panels, but the lift gate bounces like crazy. Anyone have any experience adding an additional seal, latch, or otherwise idea...

Tacked up the front hinge brackets today and test fitted it all.

Pulled the top again today and started on the edge profile for the roof chop. See the difference from the original temporary cut and fold I did below. Down below will be a fullsize sleeping platform so having the entirety of the roof cut will give the roomiest Jeep camp setup possible. Many...

Thanks for the catch. Just updated the link for the van conversion, and my mistake actually is a chevy van.

Found some more builds that give a good insight into the poptop process. First of all, some of the suburban guys adapting their own diy system here. ^Interesting take on a full DIY top from the fiberglass to the hinge system. Especially the Cantilever system with the electric actuated...

Just found your thread and progress looks great! Any update since the last post as far as adding canvas and finishing touches? I did a similar project on my XJ, but upcycled a westfalia poptop from a vw bus and re glassed it to fit. Always wanted to make a mold style like this! Might try out the...

This looks sick! Cali is cool and all, but no way to build trails like this, at least out in my neck of the woods (er, suburbs)

Touching on the other areas of my build, here is my one ton steering setup on the cherokee: Cavfab OTA trackbar and alpha Steering Kit, also with the cavfab short arms installed. Beefy, killed the majority of my death wobble, and they have a “no bs” warranty they already honored for a failed...

Thanks Greg! I had been trying to message the owner of the previous jeepagon while starting mine, and finally got in contact when he saw my thread pop up. Sounds like it made is way to other owners after he initially sold it and hasn’t gotten word of it since, but has built a good few other...

Thanks! Here’s is the 30qt drawer dometic cooler I’m running. I believe Engel makes a slightly larger one as well that runs a little more $. @overlandhistory has the dometic on his XJ camping setup as well and it’s a sweet little thing.

I have not installed the traditional 3/16” plate stiffeners as JCR and others make. The way my sliders were installed it welds into the unibody at 4 places/side with reinforcement then welds into the cage at two points. Cage stitches into all the pillars and also with floor plates at the other...

Fair enough. Yeah even beyond the welding it would take a good minute to build one solid. I felt I got a decent deal on my jeeps from The Dirtworx so I never bothered with building one. But I think they only make them for wranglers and xj’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice plan. I agree, keep it simple and reliable. Those were my first mods, and best used. A rear would be nice as a tire carrier as well + gas and hilift, freed up a lot of cargo space for me (then again your spare might be below the cab huh?) Personally I prefer the 4Runner for a more...

Subscribed. Any work better for monitoring dual batteries or just through one?
