    Finally, after 2 years of wanting to do this project, our trip out to Death Valley put this to the top of the list. I had added extra gas cans and holder to the front of the Kamparoo, which added about an extra 120 lbs. to the tongue. It was causing the Cherokee to squat way more and left us...

    Cherokee Door Pockets
