I have been away for a while. Work has been crazy and I have been farting around on some of my other projects. Heck I have barely been online in quite some time. But now it's time to actually get in some R&R. This time of year we usually go to Moab but this year will be different, we are heading into the desert southwest with no formal agenda other than to see the Escalante staircase and my sister in Tucson. Other than that we will be camping along the way and shakeing down the trailer for it's maiden (finally) voyage.
I still haven't done all the electrical work I want to do nor have I relocated the 2 batteries in the JK and added in the trailer brake system. But it's good enough for a nice vacation.
So here is some pics of the whole she-bang.
You can see one of my other projects in the background, a 22x40 trailer parking garage.
I have one extra large outback cooler in the trailer that holds ice for 15 days at 100* plus a regular ice chest in the back of the JK for fluids or day trips. I have 30 gallons of water and 10 spare gallons of gasoline. There is a 11lbs propane tank to run the stove, lamps and maybe a heater down the road. I have 8 fullsized tires on board or a complete replacement set for the JK if needed. The trailer has 3 jacks so I can completly lift the trailer up to replace tires.
I still need to install the inverter so I can run a laptop or better yet a blender.
I hope to be making a trek next year with this set up to Alaska and then maybe one expedition into South America.
Oh well that's what I have been doing. Now I need to go get some last minute supplies then I'll see you in a couple of weeks.
I can't wait to test it all aout.
