I have a front and rear camera. I LOVE using them on the trail. It makes turning around in tight areas MUCH easier. Backing up to a trailer? No problem... I got everything off of ebay a few years ago, and its super simple to hook up. Nothing special. I have honestly never driven an XJ with a...

Figure out how? you mean the shape? Dont remember honestly, most of the things I do are organic, and just kind of happen. I imagine I took a few measurements, then transposed them onto the wood. I will say that the wood is in two sections, one left side, and one right side, with a tongue and...

Im not sure about the work being done being worth the money, as A/C is something I know very little about. BUT, I would gladly pay 150 bucks not to have to ride around in a hot vehicle all summer... They dont call it Hotlanta for nothin. I would imagine its the same in your neck of the woods.

If thats the case... forget what I said and carry on. I could have sworn he said it was a 96, but it was early (pre-coffee) when I posted...:elkgrin: ~ Stump

Yeah, search for my build thread, you see the write up in there. You should do some research before purchasing. I am glad I got them ultimately, but it was a bumpy road...

I wouldnt waste your time or money on the factory remote system, even if you do have the option. I have two 96 sports, and both had that system. It sucks. It uses an infared signal (like a TV remote) instead of normal radio signal. You literally be standing right next to it. You will be much...

Thanks! I call it the Stump Cave. ~James

Finding struts to do the job will be no problem. If it weighs too much for a lid... thats an opinion thing. I think my lid with the RTT and everything is close to 275#'s I used 1 inch 11 gauge tubing for the frame, and skinned it with 14 gauge. Works great for me...

I *think* you are asking me since you qouted me, but not totally sure. I bought a HP Pavilion tx1000. I got it from a guy on here actually... I dont remember what i paid for it, maybe 600 bucks? That was about 1.5 years ago, and its been an awesome comp.

Wow... that puts out a good amount of light! I will have to check my local Auto Zone to see if they have these... I need em for my XJ, and my trailer. Thanks!! ~ James

Come on Ryan... Thats a funny looking XJ. I know you arent new to this stuff... :elkgrin: (that does look pretty cool, in a mad max sort of way, but I agree with John on this one, I am painting the top half of my XJ white to match my trailer... )

Hey John...do me a favor and slap yourself for me will ya? Are ya kidding me? The OverlandXJ is epic. It would be a sin to part it, and the Jeep gods will make that ZJ into your worst nightmare because of it... say it aint so buddy! It would be a shame to part it out right after an awesome...

First I have heard of them, they look nice though. The pictures with the air conditioning unit hanging out the side of the tent kind of made me chuckle... ~ James

LOL... that reminds me of when I put on my lift. I did the front sectio first, and sent the manufacturer an email as a joke. I told them I was very unhappy (I let em have it...) with their product, because after installation my Jeep had a severe 'lean' to the rear, and that it was no longer...

Nicely done... You will love having that much tech power at your finger tips. I did mine about 4 months ago, and use it constantly. I love my touch screen! Mine pivots and locks in the driver or passenger position, I like the way yours is more centered. Any problems with glare and being able to...

I know Bill (Hilldweller) has them on his Conqueror Compact trailer also, maybe they are a S Africa thing? Simple, and they work good... ~ James

Not sure of any trailer pics out there, however you should find plenty of pics from the lowrider truck guys as noted. It truly is simple. I understand wanting to plan it out, but sometimes its easier to just get under there and see what will work. When you get it figured out, build it to suit...

Looks great man... I would love to sell my RTT and get that exact tent set-up for my trailer. Im having a hard time looking at the CAD drawing and envisioning how its gonna look, but im looking forward to it! I am digging the stove and sink!! ~ James

Now that you mention it, that would definitely be the easiest/best way to do it. Especially after seeing the weld you put on that sucker....:sombrero: It definitely is not coming off easily. :D Thats a good thing.... ~ James

Hello and welcome to the Portal! You certainly have a great start to what appears to be an awesome little trailer. One thing I wanted to bring up though, in looking at the 2nd picture from the bottom on your last post. The axle you have was originally designed for spring under axle, and you...
