    Who has used wood to skin there expedition trailer and floor also?

    I'm in the process of starting my own DIY offroad camper. Wood doesn't have the condensation, but does not provide a Faraday Cage for sleep protection on a coastal beach during a lightning storm. I'm thinking of building mine of plywood, but then lining the inside with Reflectix insulation...

Not sure yet on wheels. if I'm staying stock at 17" or putting on 15" that work. Ballast weight will be in the form of water/fuel and will be adjustable forward/aft of...

    Trying to find a package to fit all the toys. I have a 14' JKR, my son has a 89 YJ and I'm looking to get my daughter a YJ or TJ. I'm also in design stage of an offroad teardrop. My JKR just rolled past 50k miles and it's time for some new meats. I'd like to go with a 33/12.50/15. For...

    jeep jk unlimited camper project

    I've been watching this with much interest as I've been toying with the idea for my JKR. Fiberglass is the way to go. Do you have an approximation on the weight so far? Prubah

    Best tire and lift combo for general purpose exploring (Southeast)

    Back in the early 90's I ran with ******** Cepek Fun Country Radials. They were amazing in the soft sand and won me many uphill dune races with the locals.(not so good in the mud. but are great in snow and are what is used on the expedition landcruisers that traverse Greenland/Iceland) They...

    JKR skid plate FAIL

    The Odds of this happening again, are indeed very slim.. I do realize this. My original statement can attest to this. The odds are more like 1mil to 1. not 12 to 1. :-) It is however a design flaw. look at any 2014 JK. there is a section of skidplate missing above the cross member near...

    JKR skid plate FAIL

    No kidding we'd have taken a different line. But that really isn't the point. (No pun intended). You can see from the size of the branches in all the pictures. Roughly two1/2 to three inches in diameter. Small enough to fit into some tight places, big enough not to break. I was on a logging...

    JKR skid plate FAIL

    Took my 14 JKR up a logging road this past weekend. If there is a weak point in anything, I'm the guy to find it. I managed to lodge a log between the frame cross member/skid plate and the poly gas tank. Thankfully the log didn't puncture the tank. It crushed a corner of it. The 18 gal is...

    Who went from 33's to 35's? MPG hit?

    Nobody here has mentioned what gas they are putting into the tank. I'm not talking 87vs89vs9x. I'm talking from one brand to another. I run 87octane. I noticed I average 19.5 in my 14 JKR Man. with noname brand budget gas from a local station. I average 18.5 with Irving. This isn't...

    2 door JK storage ideas

    After what nearly happened to me this morning I can tell you a roof rack is out of the question for this Jeeper. Was doing some mild offroad in tall grass/hay. When the left front went into 3' gully. Never saw it in the tall grass. The rear right felt like it was going to come right over my...

    Oscar the Grouchs build thread. the 2012 JKR

    Great Jeep. I just got a Black 14 JKR 2 months ago. been going back and forth how I want to approach my build. I really like how the 37s look on yours. And the tan top on black is KickA$$. I see the TeraFlex sticker on the side, so what lift did you go with for the 37s? I have a manual, so...

    Nebraska Jeep Camper

    I am planning something very similar to this on my new JKR. But the roof will be the floor of a hardside flip up tent kinda like a Ursa Minor for the sleeping area. This sleeping area will extend 2' past the tailgate.

    2 door JK storage ideas

    Omar is right on for storage in a JK. Cargo netting and bags are your best friend. Draws/Cabinets are cool, but add weight and actually take away valuable space. I plan on color coding mine. Camo for survival, Blue for water/filtration, Red for emergency, Black for sleeping gear, etc.. I've...

    Trying to decide

    4dr? Nice. Needed? No. I go into the woods with a 15lb pack includes food for 5 days on the Appalachian Trail. And I'm still told I'm hiking heavy. I have enough room in my JKR for me, my teen son, two of his friends, my Coleman stove, small cooler and 4 backpacks. I thought about adding...

    are lockers necessary?

    I have to strongly disagree with this statement. I absolutely love having a JKR manual while on the trails of the NorthEast woods.(hills/mountains) of VT,NH,Maine. Dunes of Cape Cod not so much. It is very relaxing while I scout logging roads and firetrails for Deer,Bear,Moose tracks to be in...
