Thanks! I have been following you build since you started it and is one of the reasons I went the pop up route. There are great tips as my trailer evolves over the next couple years.

Thanks! I thought hard about buying a cheaper used pop up trailer and upgrading to my liking especially after reading so many great builds on here, but being able to spend more of my shop time on the Jeep has worked out well for now. Some larger tires may be in the future, but it performed...

They were built and installed by the previous owner to haul a kayak. I would like to move the basket from the Cherokee to the trailer, but I either have to move bars on the trailer or build a third matching one for the shorter distance.

In spring of this year we purchased a Fleetwood Cobalt. My wife and I spent last spring and summer tent camping with our new born. We do a lot of high elevation camping, so tent camping in all different types of weather let us to looking for a Jeep friendly trailer alternative. After months...

I think it was actually an LJ (TJ Unlimited) frame that they used and that the wheelbase worked out quite well. I think the suspension set up of a LJ and the vintage of a Willys is quite appealing. It also has ARB air lockers in both axles. Talk about a sleeper! Cruise down the highway at...

Good point about adding the heavy duty diff cover to the price point when comparing to an arb. The thing that turns me off of air actuated anything is air hose maintenance. I hate tracking down air leaks if there is ever an issue. There also seems to be issues over time with the long cable...

I have a 97 cherokee on a 3.5" RE lift and 31x10.50 tires. I am interested in selectable lockers, but I have the rear Chrysler 8.25 (29 spline) which appears to limit my options to either ARB or OX lockers. Does anyone have any experience with an Ox Locker using the Electric Actuator...

The carrier behind the stock bumper is sweet! Kudos!

Please Keep the J8 posts coming! Even though I can never own one I am very intrigued by the J8. A modern jeep with a 3/4 ton chassis is an awesome concept to me! To think if the US had a small SUV option that you could drive for 20 years with little more than routine maintenance and little to...

When I talked to tire shops about mounting 31x10.50's on those rims, several were not even willing to do it because it was outside the tire manufactures recommended specification. 7"was as narrow as they wanted to go. I had the original jeep 5 spoke steel wheels that are 7" wide, so I...

New AEV Doka! I did not know they were shipping these yet, I have only seen pics of the two SEMA trucks. I am jealous!

Sent you an email.

Bingo. At Cooke City MT (Near the NE corner of Yellowstone). Though the Beartooth Pass is all paved, there are several old mining roads that are awesome. This one is the Goose Lake Trail. Most of the Mining trails are all high elevation, and not traversable until late July.

Body lifting a ZJ can be really hard on the Unibody:). 2.5"BB is refering to a "budget boost" and on a ZJ is likely refering to spacers for the coil springs and longer shocks instead of full spring replacment. Or maybe even shock mount extensions in some instances. But I agree with you...

Looks good! How are you able to form the strap steel around those risers? Are you using a press brake? How about the big radius at top?
