Thanks man. A little at a time. I found the tent on my local craigslist.

Yes it is canvas with a rubberized floor.

I picked up a 1960s era Eureka Drawtite 3 man tent. Its in awesome shape, has all the poles, and is pretty solid from the looks of it. From what little info I could find it these tents were used on the Everest expedition by Sir Edmund Hillary. Should hold up to strong winds, rain and snow. I...

Thanks. Yes im able to close both the tailgate and hatch. It secures from inside and its quite comfy. I have a rope on the hatch that allows me to open and close it and im able to open the tailgate from inside. Usually i close it before getting in the trailer. I also use a couple of camper...

Future mods is to install a 3000lb winch in the rear, wire up a 12 volt water and electical system and add more onboard water and fuel storage. Also a 12 volt power inverter.

Here is my write up on the expo trailer ive been working on for the last 5 years. It started out as a Ford ranger body and frame. I then welded on a tongue and front frame. Installed a set of 3 in lift blocks and made my own coilovers. It was used mainly to haul our camping and fishing gear for...

So 2 weekends ago the kids and i spent a few days up in northwest Maine. Did alot of exploring in areas we had never been before. And we camped in the snow. Had a great time. Put about 120 miles offroad on the new Kelly Safaris. Man those are some great all around tires. I also added a winch and...

Due to budget constraints i decided to go back to 31s on the rig. Decided to try out the Kelly Safari TSRs. I put 120 miles offroad on them this weekend through mud, rocks and snow w no problems. Will get pics up soon.

Thanks. Its taken a different route than all my other builds.

I didn't realize I haven't posted on here in 4 months. Life's had me busy so I haven't had any time to install the new exhaust or any of the other parts I have for the zj. Hoping to soon as things have slowed down a bit. Will post up as things happen.

First off nice rig. Ive always liked the KJs. Marty at Rock Lizard fabs up some awesome armor. My xj was outfitted w his stuff. I too spent some time at Fort Hood and Carson. Loved Carson and Colorado. I used to wheel w Marty and the lost kj crew. Thanks for your service and sharing the memories.

Here r a couple pics of the zj after the 3 in coils install.

I got the 1 inch spacers ordered and were delivered yesterday along with new poly coil spring isolaters. I'm also picking up a different D30 w 3.73 gears and a D35 rear w a Detroit locker, 3.73 gears and hardened alloy shafts. Just got rebuilt. Hope to have both installed within the next week or so.

Awesome trip report. Gotta love the desolation of the NMW. And awesome pics and scenery. Thanks for sharing.
