not sure this is helpful since i do not have weights, but for my obs 350 i used SD 250 springs - supposedly a lower rate. It rides WAY better. For the rear I removed the overloads, and think if I removed one more (the short one on the bottom) it would ride very nice. I'm about 4K on each...

No I did not. I am currently on a multi-month work trip so the truck is mostly sitting at the moment anyway. I am inbetween keeping it and parting with it for another option - however, if I do keep it I plan to have one installed this summer before next winter. I'm not driving it a lot this...

that's an interesting design feature.. with the width difference between the hood and cowl. Even though the company was developing their own stuff they had to have known the similarities - possibly this was one attempt to assure there was not a direct copy? I'm curious more of the engines as...

Oh man I saw that damage, what a shame. I feel bad for the owner - that damage on the cab is going to be expensive.... Another consideration here too is... what if you do get stuck. then what? In my big ol F350 - man that would be a royal pain to get it out of the ditch if it ever went in...

Ha yeah no doubt those are impressive. I'm considering a rebel in the future - so no room to talk but still wish there were 'simple' options here in the US MM not quite sure I agree. Many of the towns I am in, and even 'cities' by definition allow legal road and even highway use of OHV so...

Yes this is what I essentially was getting at without saying it. Many of the vehicles we have in the US are just not robust compared to other parts of the world. In terms of physical strength of frames and components, and also reliability of electrical components and highly computerized...

ha yeah well I suppose I should make the correction that 'in small towns where the sheriff doesn't mind responsible use of atv's on the road' - to be a bit more accurate. It also warrants the comment that many of the highways where I live have speed limits not conducive to atv's for long...

It is a shame that our market in the us is driven so toward complex comfort and large vehicles. Although i would like to have a rig with a heated wheel for winter but it sure would be nice if a good solid small truck was more available. these seem like they could be a solid option especially...

Ha $1,800 a month for a toy. must be nice to be rich.

Do you notice any interference with your sat/radio signal since the camper (alum) is over top of the receiver??

pretty darn cool! lets see some jeeps!!!

I see the idea but personally not a fan of the windowless. I use my windows to look through all the time, and find that super helpful actually. But that's the beauty of a modular system, to change as per different desires.

Wow this is awesome. I've been looking at these myself since probaby not going to 'overland' any longer, and just stick to the campgrounds and FS roads most likely. Any coments on things you don't like?

where is 'here' Rust belt I'm assuming?

I'm curious why you havne't done this already with the tub. Did you find just driving your LJ more preferred on the Alaska trip over towing any sort of trailer, even if matching dimensions?

Except the inside of the jeep behind the seats is, what 6" higher than the trailer? To account for the fuel tank and axle? At least on the TJ it is, not sure about the newer Jeeps. So you could use that 6" of headroom. Then again, standing up like that is probably a rarity.

Your trail topper would probably be a really good base for something like this. And pop the top up if standing room is needed to change or something.

I would still love to have something like this!! It would be perfect for the TJ and weekend trips. Problem is finding a place or people to build one.

Right. I was assumming with an already lengthened TJ frame. Such as a brute. Or one of your converted Jeeps
