    JK/J8 Flippac rumor??

    Any truth to the rumor that Flippac is going to make a shell/camper for the JK/J8 jeeps? I would love to see something to compete with the Earthroamer. I think being able to build in stages and to suit would be great competition. I would love to buy a J8 3-door from AEV with the Diesel...

    Stick on solar panels for camper shells?

    I have started looking around for some solar power options for my new Dodge expedition truck project. Has anyone seen a thin film solar panel that was designed to cover the top of a camper shell? I know a lot of people like having a rack on top, but I think it would be very sweet if the...

    Project: Doitall Dodge

    I guess everyone eventually falls into a project! I didn't really plan to ever build a full size truck for my expedition vehicle but that is what came my way. I would have much rather had a Unimog or an long wheelbase jeep in some respects, but all around I don't think I made a bad choice...

    Hello everyone, I thought this was the proper place to share the tail of this little adventure last weekend with some good friends. Its not often that we all get together these days. We all met while in college in northern Idaho a few years ago. Time has gone by but we all stay in touch and...

    I think i'm in love....

    Yeah.......TATRA is her name. This is what you get when you take an Ex-Dakar race truck and turn it into an assistance/chase truck the next year. The box on the back isn't really a camper but it does have a bed for some of the crew and carries lots of spare parts. In my imagination there...

    I think I am gonna build an Unlimited....

    I have been kicking around the idea of building something like this for a few years now. Right now I would love to be able to build about ten different vehicles, like my Unimog idea, but I think I need to concentrate on something that can do the most things I want. Something that would be good...

    Sleeping in a unlimited (LJ)??

    Does anyone have pictures of setups to allow sleeping one or two people inside a 2004-2006 Jeep unlimited? I was thinking about having a rear platform that folded or slid forward when both front seats are forward up against the dash. Has anyone done anything like this? I looked at some of the...

    My camper ideas, thoughts, and plans...

    I typed this for another thread and decided to move it over here for some more feedback hopefully.... I am most likely going to use a 1300L Unimog because you can find them in the states already imported and registered. I also like the fact that they are fully mechanical without any engine...
