Secret squirell.. Well... I may be working with a local metal shop trying to fabricate a roof rack to hold my RTT...Should go see him today and see what has been created so far...Lots of test fitting and adjustments to follow...But i'll be very glad to get the tent out of my room! lol!

Hey, Thanks for the awesome information and great pics, that helps a bunch! I now understand better what the vague directions were implying. So you have to deploy the tent and get under the mattress to attach the support bars to the tent. Did you use large fender washers inside or some other...

Hey guys, I found a local German shop that is going to help me with tubing for my roof rack. I need to get my Technitop RTT out of my room and on the jeep! Lol! Unfortunately, the instructions that came with the tent are... Lame? So since i am creating the mounting point from scratch i could use...

So i had a not so busy day today and drive through Grafenwohr. I found the welding shop and had a chance to speak with the guy there a little bit. First off, considering his shop is I'n a residential area i was Shocked at the amount of equipment he had there! Holy Cow!! Huge old, well used Mills...

phone book?? Hey Burn E, Thanks for the pointers. I agree that one should learn at least some of the local language of the country they are visiting. I am trying but honestly I'm not one that picks up languages very easily. Most of the German words/phrases I know now (feel free to laugh) have...

Yessir... Thanks for the positive support. I'm sure there are plenty of places. I only meant that since I'm new and lack the words I'n German to explain what I'm after i just don't want to go to a shop and waste their time if they don't understandwhat I'm doing. The fault is mine since I'm the...

great info... Thanks guys...What a great bunch of intel! Jan, I shot you an email with a general question so we can communicate that way. I will also shoot the guy in Grafenwohr a call just to see what he does...But if hes not used to what we do here on the portal and his English is rusty I may...

Hi Guys, I just got to German (Grafenwohr/Bavaria) and I need help. Does anyone know of a fabrication shop or some place that could bend some tubing for me? I need to make a roof rack for My Scrambler but I need the tubing bent for me. I brought my welder and plasma etc.. but have no way to make...

Leaving EP Yeah, headed over the pond. I think there is a small event out at "the wall" on the 26th? If I can manage to get the heep moving under its own power I may try an go...just to play/watch.

Where I'm at... Well, Only about two weeks left to wrench before I must get this to the shippers for its trip to Germany. Not even close to where I want it to be but most of the larger stuff is done...ish. Work in progress.

thanks... X2 on the thanks. I always enjoy the old jeep films (and history in general) so thanks for giving me something to watch on Christmas!

Rubber stink? Dirt in the bed?? Really...? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I'm sure bad at this...sorry. Sorry all, Been a lot going on and many miles traveled. I'm now back "home" at Ft. Bliss Tx safe and sound once again. I have been wrapped up in all the normal requirements related to re-deploying so my Internet time has been a little low. I have made some progress...

noooo Saa... Sorry, to many years in the military have removed the WooSaa from working for me. haha. But since I'm heading to Germany soon at least I will get to look at the new diesels in person. Can't afford one, let alone bring one home with me but at least I can drool... ;)

Rant,Rant,RANT!!! Metcalf..please, PLEASE...Rant away! I agree. But hey...look at what we are getting from all that list...color matched hardtops... o-boy.

In progress... Finally got some hands-on time and the wrenches have begun to slowly turn. Got the ARB semi-fitted today. Considering how different the TJ is from my CJ I shouldn't have been surprised at the head scratching I have had to do to make this work. Also got the corners and rockers...

My turn... Well, Finally got to get my grubby hands on mine. They sure do box the snot out of these things...though it doesn't seem to have helped. Or at least the scratch/dent was there before packing it? Not sure but it is dented beyond a doubt! haha. It does work though so do I complain...

Bury is a no-no Yeah, while the concept of burying an ISBU (container/connex) is a nice thought it is a no-no. Taking advantage of the thermal mass would be great but the container will not support the side load pressure. And while you could likely build all sorts of sub-structure walls...

CJ/YJ love? Hey, Don't suppose you have a safari snorkel that I could make work on a CJ? I can make the connection to the TBI myself but the exterior part is a little beyond me...?

X2 Yeah...Keith is a stand up guy. Met him at a gas station while I was out in my Scrambler and we talked for a while. Nice guy and he "knows stuff" :elkgrin:
