Ratled, it's a highly optioned delux 5x10. Running spring over axle instead of under, with 265/70/17 tires. And for those tires I needed to change from standard to oversized fenders also. They have a new midrange option that comes with a softer torsen style axle. I just chose the delux because...

Finally picked up my trailer a few weeks ago and completed my maiden trip! Couldn't be happier with these great little trailers!

I came to the same conclusion as the op. I decided on a lead dog motorsports/hiker 5x10. Room for a galley, storage, and bed, and a dry weight of 900lbs. For the price the additional storage and hard wall sleepy arrangement was a no brainer. I can still add a rtt on it also if I find the need...

Many will say stick to the 4.0 but if you dive deeper into the wj (99-2004) threads you'll find reliability is about the same between the 4.0 and 4.7, each has strengths and weeknesses. The 4.7 has a much stronger trans, and axle set. The engine is very reliable as long as it doesn't get...

I have a 5x10 delux that is being built. Pretty heavily optioned with heavy duty axle, flipped springs, bigger tires, and so much more. I'll post once I pick it up here in a few weeks. Greenhorn, the 5x10 and I believe 6x10 also can be had in the "medium duty" range which is designed for fire...

Looking great! Loving this build so far. What fridge and size is that?

Always glad to welcome another wj to the site! Looking forward to follow your build. Especially keen on if you find a fix for the hvac airflow, mine has the same problem, which means I also have the same problem with my wife complaining :/

I was incredibly impressed as well with this rig when I saw it at the expo! I will be following very closely the further development of this trailer and it's other future variants. One of this will definitely be my next trailer.

I Have huge personal interest in that base camp build, especially as my family grows. A 5' tall is not much taller than a standard 44" tall teardrop with rtt on top. So clearance is very similar, but the options of additional inside cabinetry around the perimeter ect would be welcome! Just long...

What's the projected starting price?

Sorry, my life got busy as well and I've got the rear bumper cut and waiting to be welded still.... When I ordered it all I did talk to the owner of g&g fab( he sells the metal laser cut, and has a deal with flatland to use their plans) he explained that the original design for the tire carrier...

K2zj yeah I should have posted, the blend doors were the first thing I did, they were bad, but I repaired them all, they work perfect. It's the actual air volume that's off, my drivers vents are 2-3x more powerful than the passenger, and that doesn't fair well with the wife :/

I personally have a 2005 cc frontier as a dd, used it stock as a weekend warrior for a few years on forest service roads, mild off-road, ect. Very capable even in 2wd. Then I purchased a 1999 jeep wj grand Cherokee. Have you considered these cars? While not available with a manual, the auto...

Welcome to the portal! I've got a wj myself. Love the pics and looking forwArd to following your build. I've been contemplating pulling my dash because my hvac blowing very poorly and suspect I have a leak. These pictures perfectly lay out the hvac system so thanks!

I've got a 1999 wj, and absolutely love it! I researched all the above vehicles for over a year before pulling the trigger. For overlanding, moderately difficult off-road trails, and just about everything shy of hardcore rock crawling, I found that a 4.7 with quadradrive will do very well. You...

have you considered using an adjustable tongue? one that slides to lengthen and shorten, might help to have a longer tongue for highway towing, then you can shorten it offroad if you find its to long for trails.

Op: how much do you roughly think you've got in the build now? Have you been keeping a tally? It looks great!

I welded the entire bumper off the jeep and on the bench. If your looking at the plans you'll see that the bumper is basically two parts once it's compete. The brackets that go in the frame rail gets bolted to another upright that gets welded to the center winch box. What I did was once the main...

Here's the center, wings, and top plate tacked and test fitted. Last pic I took before I finished it.

Here is the center section winch box
