In a temporary holding pattern. Had to jump on another project due to a contractor turned crook working at my moms house and getting permits to build my new house. Work will resume soon. Tent is here and other parts have arrived and are waiting.

Still hobbled with a broken foot. Found a project I could work from a chair. Installed locking toolbox latches in the tailgate.

Dealing with a broken foot and great customer service from ROAM Adventure Company. My ROAM Vagabond came in and was the wrong color. ROAM is sending FEDEX back out to retrieve the shipment and is sending the correct tent out. So I assembled and painted my fire extinguisher mounts from...

It would and I would have preferred a solution that tucked up under the trailer but with the height and with looking for the most ground clearance for rutty fire roads and trails I just couldn't find a good option. If I see something in the future it can change. I can always retrofit a better...

With the 4 inch lift spindles from Timbren and the same 35's as my Jeep it is only going to ride about 1/2 inch lower than original. I looked into those jacks and ordered1 to use as mock up and it just wasn't going to work.

Had to rethink my stabilizer jack mounts. These are much stronger and do not stick out of the side to catch on anything. The rear are not ideal as they limit tailgate access when jack is installed but will work for now. Installed the Jeep JK receiver after reinforcing the rear frame rail...

I do not have a way to measure it but the holy ******** that is heavy versus I can carry the box the Timbren setup comes in I am saying the weight savings is significant. Should pull behind the Jeep even better now.

Yes, I have a ROAM Vagabond on order just waiting for it to get here.

Been busy raptor lining all the things. Next step is removing the axle and installing the Timbren 3500HD setup. Going to reinforce the frame with some 2.5 inch .25 wall square tube Also installing a Jeep JK receiver on the rear with the same 2.5 inch reinforcement that will be tied to the side...

While waiting on some parts I got some work done. Rator lined the tub inside and out. Color matched the side panels to my Jeep. Will do the underside and frame when I do the axle swap. Went one real easy. Used 2 gallons of black and 3/4 gallon of tintable. Ordered Timbren 3500HD setup...

Made some major progress over the last few weeks. Tire mount, jack mounts and the rack is assembled. Still lots to go.

Got some work in the last week or so. Still not pretty but it looks like I got good penetration and should be very solid. Rack will be modular for future expansion. Tent rack will be pinned on for easy removal. I am using 1.25 - .120 wall tube.

I am happy with the width of the trailer for my planned use. It fits real well behind the Jeep with the Metal Cloak Overland Fenders on it. Will get down fire trails and other mild trails headed to different camping locations. My fabrication skills have not yet caught up with my design...

Ordering an axle to do the swap. Found this info online and it looks like the specs are perfect. Doing 5x5 pattern with brakes so the wheels from a Jeep JK will fit with the same tires currently on the JK. Will be able to carry a spare on the Jeep and the trailer.

Like it wasn't even behind me. I was shocked how well it towed. I have a 2016 JKU with tow package and a 6 speed manual so your mileage may vary, but I was super impressed with it.

In November I inherited my moms 2016 JKU Sahara. We had used it to go to the 4x4 Beach in the Outerbanks for family vacations for a few years and she loved the idea of camping and going on adventures. I am building it to do overland camping in her honor. I have started a M101A1 Trailer Build...

Picked it up in January and it towed 100 miles home with no issues at all. All lights worked and the tires are in great shape. Phase 1 of the build started with teaching myself how to weld using a Millermatic 211 Auto-Set, many hours of YouTube videos and many many practice beads run on...
