Picked up a new spray gun Finished laying down the topcoat Follow (Instagram) --> @craftsmancollaborative Subscribe (Youtube) --> @craftsmancollaborative

Got some riding time in to start off the new year. Classic ocotillo wells trip.

Changed my mind and put down a black top coat. Black is better at showing any imperfections, wax swirls or PVA mistakes.

The mold does make production/manufacturing a solid possibility. For now I’ll likely crunch out the first one, finish my full conversion and put it to the test for the next couple years. If the demand is there and the timing is right as I finish up school, I’d consider making it a complete...

Starting to build up a layer of mold release wax

Wet sanding. Lots of blending and little details.

As far as I know just Instagram at the moment. You can still search his user on google and it’ll show you a good few pics taken from ig. Comanche with a 97+ 4wd drivetrain, interior swap. Full aluminum camper. 35’s on methods and IIRC ford 9” rear, D44 front.

How much were they asking? I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel (for this specific project anyway). Huge difference to be inside the garage and have 12 hours/day x 5 days a week now to work on the xj.

Layed down a test coat of primer to cure and confirm it’s good (bought off of someone else that garage stored it a good minute). Ran to the depot and had them shake it a good while to get it all mixed. Looks good. High-build urethane two-part primer. Spraying the full plug if all looks proper...

Put together my modified spray booth today. This is to limit dust and wind exposure to the camper plug’s primer stage and the mold/product gelcoat stages. Thin mil plastic on the top and 3 house/wall facing sides of the garage. The garage door facing side has a thick pvc material that kills the...

The chop is a big step indeed. I wouldn’t do it without a cage (or plan for one in the long term). Although, a properly structured 48x24 “access hole” wouldn’t concern me much if positioned toward the rear. Let me know if V3 comes about! Is that top a westfalia, or another brand/ roof to tent...

In non-Jeep (but completely Jeep) personal news: I just finished up my last semester of local college before transfer and completed every accredited lower level /GE provided. I won’t be enrolled into a university until fall of next year... I’ll have 6 months of a Gap before full-time work...
