Nice looking JL and I love the colour. (y) I'm currently painting my LJ something similar.
Half done and on my way here on a cold thankfully dry December day for a new windshield ...
I took this picture of my XJ yesterday at a Scout camp I used to go to about 25 years or so ago when my sons were in Scouts and I was a Leader. It's a great 600 ac. heavily forested camp and it's only about 15 minutes from where I live. I can remember packing up my old XJ many times as you...
Great combination of Jeeps! I like the body, chassis and engine combination of your '55. The colour blending is great too, Jeep and trailer. The mail box even matches! (y)
Similar to the above, I built a roof rack for my Jeep XJ using another fence gate and 2 lengths of e-track. I cut them up, added some tube and welded everything together. It attaches to the OEM rack that has a capacity of 150 lbs which is fine for my needs. The e-track has plenty of latch...
I made a roof rack to carry 2 kayaks on top of my tear drop, or "tear pop" trailer. The goal was to not touch the roof which lifts to provide head room inside the trailer. I had no idea how strong it was and I figured it was better to avoid having any weight on the lid.
I started with a...
I use this Jeep, an '88 Comanche Eliminator, for day trips, kayaking, fishing, trips to the dump, etc. plus chasing down used Jeep parts. I have never taken it on over nighters, I use my LJ & XJ for that. I finally found a set of original Turbine wheels for it so I thought I'd post it here...
I've used Gardenia products and have always found them to be good. The Eccotemp actually came with one for the incoming water line but I opted for brass quick connects (Yardworks from Canadian Tire). If the Gardenia fittings ever failed I never would have heard the end of it from my...
Now that's funny. We must have read all of the same reviews before we made our decisions.
A garden hose sprayer is a good way to go. I ended up with the one below. My biggest hesitation was that it is chrome (plastic). I think it's the only shiny thing on my trailer! It works well ...
I set up my Eccotemp L5 to be portable too as I use it in 2 trailers. In the one below I store it in the trailer and take it out when we camp. It and a 20 litre water jug all go inside the opening in the trailer. I installed a ShurFlo 12V pump inside and it has been great. It might seem...
Here are a few more recent shots of what I first showed in post #2,975 and another project I am close to finishing. I'm about to start a hard shell RTT build for second one.
To the OP, if you're still around, your best bet is to go the Forest River Forums ( https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/ ) and see what NoBo owners have to say. It's not all positive but there are also those who like them for what they do with them. Some FR owners criticize them because...
We use a sleeping bag as a duvet. Unzipped and opened up it fully covers the bed in our trailer. It's usually a simple summer bag and if it's cold we use a flannel lined bag. Neither are expensive bags. My wife will sometimes sleep on top of a polar fleece blanket and under the...
Your situation sounds a bit like mine. I was well into a trailer build when my wife decided she wanted to take up camping, which kind of shocked me. She had no interest in the type of trailer I was building and I fully understood why. We tent camped for a year and she wasn't crazy about...
My temporary table takes about a minute to set up or break down and the table itself is quite thing when folded up - about 3/8". The clips are not small. I put them and the thumbscrews in a small nylon bag just to keep everything together. Because the table clips over the tailgate and isn't...
I'm sure if anyone can do it you can. (y) The short coming with mine (above) is the brackets that clip over the tailgate. They work well but they're awkward. If a bracket could be attached to the interior side of the tailgate that a table could "clip into" it would be much better. Although it...
