Post 144 is about all there is. There's not much "wall" at all in this camper. The overhead cabinets cover the side walls front to back down to the point where the windows start. And below the windows are cabinets. Pretty much the only wall surface that shows is behind/over the streetside sofa...

The explanation Jeremy wrote above is correct. There was no suitable alternative to using the EarthRoamer cabin we had. Consideration was given to buying Edwin Turner's white XV-JP to get his cabin, but that would have required selling my silver one, which I could not in good conscious do...

Not my business, but a timely linkup with Dion as he was starting Red Cannon Expedition as an overlanding vehicle builder. For my part, the change in cabin was to get a new layout more appropriate for two people than my initial plan. The new chassis got bought to match up the 2015 cabin with a...

Jeremy--Why is there a giantic puppy picture on my build thread? Do you have a new puppy? Is this Boo as a young boy? Are you just helping meet Ken's need for more photos? Are you hinting out that buying a puppy would be cheaper than buying a new Jeep? I'm confused. :)

You should have waited until 4:13 to post that. See above. I'm sad that the new one's not silver, though. The old one looked like a shrunk-in-the-wash version of the Bullet. ;)

And now, additional news . . . Ok, so we've got a new plan to create, more or less, a brand-new 2015 Red Cannon-issue XV-JP to go off on adventures large and small. New cabin with new paint and interior and a new chassis with all the goodies . . . it promises to be the ultimate representation...

Moving to Plan B, which is better Apparently many people get grumpier and more critical as they get old. (Personally, I wouldn't know.) Pictures?! You want pictures, Ken? Fine. Have some pictures: Oops. Wrong forum. How about these? Whaddaya think? Pretty nice Jeep, eh? It's a brand...

Thanks for the information. A nice truck with a lot of potential. Congratulations finding one already at the dealer that met your needs; that doesn't happen all that often. Looking forward to watching the build. Good luck.

When I was recently at the Portland RV show, I noticed that the T@b trailers now have dual pane acrylic awning windows were stamped as being from Polyplastics, instead of from Seitz/Dometic. A web search suggests that this is a Netherlands company that has been making the windows for European...

You raise a good point about the subjectivity of the Tire Rack survey ratings--though they do empirically test a small portion of their tires--and your theory about the good ratings being because of comparison with old worn tires may be a good explanation. I would suggest, though, that the...

Two LX470s, two Sprinters, an Astro and a Grand Cherokee. I'm not trying to claim these are four-wheeling tires, and I probably wouldn't have posted except to rebut the "dangerous" comment. At the same time, if you compare them to the stock tires they put on LRs, Cayennes, LCs and LXs and so...

:iagree: What Roy J said. I've had six--count 'em six--sets of LTX M/S and MS2 tires on my trucks. Superlative on road behavior and more than good enough for dry dirt and gravel roads and reasonable snow. No reason to trust us, though . . . check the Tire Rack ratings: I agree that it's...

Thanks for the post. Pretty nice idea.

Yeah, I know. Kind of weird. Apparently not a lot to show you. But the Jeep's gonna be massively awesome when it's done, just you wait. (I think.) I expect some news relatively soon. Of course, I usually do. In the interim, thanks for your patience.

I've been talking to Dion and things are going along acceptably. The body is nearing its turn in the paint booth, but isn't done yet. Cabinets are being built. Dion's arranging someone to take a crack at fixing the continuity of the existing graphic where the hatch (big hole at the right of the...

Good to have you back, Tom. Thanks for the writeup. Always nice to get to see your work.

Thank you for all of these descriptions and photos. Very interesting. I appreciate you taking your time to do this. Your table hardware brings back memories. Same setup as on my Mog camper. It was nice for being able to make your table top whatever shape and material you'd like.

If you do decide on a Hundred, I strongly recommend one with the five-speed. My 2000 often seemed underpowered to me, whereas my '05 never did. There was a small horsepower increase, but I believe most of it was a result of better gearing. I also picked up a mile or two a gallon. That said, I...

Yeah, it's all very secret stuff. Very revolutionary. :Wow1: Not really. Dion's just spends all his time working and virtually no time attending to the ExPo fan base. Given that he's both getting the company off the ground and rushing to get to the Jeep ready for OvEx East in a month, it...

It's not as bad as when you met me, Ken. I'm getting better. A little. Kinda. :)
