After a bit of a break I started to build the lid. Once I figured out how I plan to use it the lid was pretty straight forward to build. I’ll be carrying kayaks and bikes vs. a roof top tent. I prefer a tent that I can stand up in. I started by cutting and predrilling most of the parts. I...

I took a bit of a break from this project but for a good reason, 3 of them actually. When I started this I had a Jeep TJ as a daily driver and a Jeep XJ as a project vehicle. That’s changed. I decided to get rid of some cars and focus on Jeeps. I started looking for an LJ and ended up with...

I have no idea if it works at all! Those who make them say they do but ... it's pretty hard to tell the temperature on YouTube. Ha Ha.

I think these are a great foundation for a build. I saw one (can't find a pic) where the guy used the "cavity" down the centre as a kennel for his dogs. He basically built an expanded metal gate on the back side of the trailer. The open top was covered by his RTT. The dogs looked happy!

You guys are over thinking this (lol). You could probably make this in less than an hour ... which would include your trip to Home Depot to get the parts and the variety store to get a block of ice.

I agree ... overkill is under rated. I built a 4'x8' utility trailer and have put it to good use. It does all of the usual stuff - trips to the lumber yard, dump, etc. plus it's great for hauling home used Jeep parts. I also made racks for it to haul our bikes and kayaks when we camp. I...

Tailgate table I made for my TJ.

... I always thought my morning coffee was. :********:

Thanks. My goal was to retain full access to the hand brake and the small amount of storage in that part of the console ... and to not drill any big holes that I would regret later! :coffee: EDIT: I should have added that it's held in place by industrial strength Velcro. It's solid and...

I made a cup holder for my Cherokee XJ ... because I can't go on trips without coffee! Hard to believe they didn't come with one.

Thanks Van_Homan. I like to keep things simple ... but it's hard to resist the temptation so some mods are coming. :)

1989 Cherokee

That's close! I have a set of Duratracs on MOAB wheels for it, a pair of JCR bumpers and a Warn winch for starters. I'm not crazy about the white flairs so I might put on a set of black "LineXed" ones. The rear seat will be coming out as it won't be needed. Lots to do ... should be fun.

Looking good. Nice welds! :bowdown:

Just picked up the Cherokee and looking forward to driving it this winter while I figure out just how I want to build it.

I rechecked what I paid and it was $28 for 8 (not 4) wheel nuts. Just Jeeps is about the same. NAPA (Dorman) is only about $0.10 less per nut. They actually have caps for about twice the price - not sure why.

Interesting. I have a '95 XJ and it had all solid lug nuts when I bought it. They could have been changed though ... I would have! (lol). My '03 TJ had a mix. I bought some new ones from the dealership a few years ago and they weren't cheap - $10 CDN each! McGards at Canadian Tire are...

Great job on the Toyota and the trailer and it's nice to see how you're both using them. :clapping: I'm interested in your buggy too. I used to build and race them ... MANY years ago. Any pics?

Not sure if that's Mitch's problem but if it helps anyone I use McGard lug nuts (Pt.# - 64010) on my TJ, LJ & XJ all with TJ Rubicon (MOAB) wheels. They're much better than what the dealership currently sells and they're much less expensive too. I don't know when Jeep went from solid lug...

Beautiful graphics and I still think that's the smartest and best looking rack I've seen. :bowdown: It was the inspiration for my "unfinished" expedition trailer lid/rack.
