Let me start by saying I think the GMT800 series SUVs are a great platform for camping/expedition and off road travels. I have a 2001 Tahoe that I have started to mod for my uses. I am noticing that there are not a lot of upgrades/mods as far as aux fuel tanks and roof racks that don't just...

Up for sale is my 98 Cherokee. I have owned it since 2007 and have spent countless hours and a lot of money, blood, sweat and tears modifying it. However the time has come to part ways with my beloved Jeep. I have invested over $10k in parts/mods. The list below is everything I have done to this...

Greetings everyone. It’s time for a new trailer build finally. I’ve been working on this design for several years and in fact I started on the original design for this before the Sawtooth XL was done. I have finally decided to stop changing my mind (for the most part) and get after it. Analysis...

So I think I’ve made enough progress to start a build thread. I’m starting with a 98 SE model I bought several years ago at a government auction for way too much money. It had low miles though so whatever. I’m going to give a bit of backstory so skip this if you are bored easily. I did the...

My buddy Brad aka indiedog was searching the local classifieds in Brisbane one day and came across a guy selling a familiar looking trailer. Looks like he did a nice job on it. Was asking $10k for it... Rest of the pics here...

Well folks it's time to part ways with my beloved trailer, the Sawtooth XL. At nearly 500,000 views it is the most viewed trailer thread in the trailer subforum. This trailer was a labor of love and a great learning experience for me being my first wood working project. The build thread is...

Hi Zuk guys - I need some dimensions of Samurai leaf springs. I am planning on using some OME replacement springs for a Sammy on my next trailer build and need the eye to eye dimension and the overall height of the spring so I can put them into my solid model. None of the local yards have a...

Last year on our vacation the trailer suffered some pretty good gravel rash on the front. I decided to make some flaps for this years trip. 1 bolt and they can be removed. Welded some angle to the hitch, one with a nut and one with some sq tube. The tubes the flaps are bolted to are aluminum...

Hi Guys- I have always been a fan of 4x4 vans and have started thinking about them a lot lately. I really like the Dodge B-Series and don't see very many of the original Pathfinder versions or home brew 4x4 swaps on here. I'd like to post up some ideas for a build and would like some feedback...

I'd buy it for $800 if i was closer: http://chico.craigslist.org/cto/2443464314.html

Outlander Sherpa spotted in Meridian Idaho yesterday being towed by a white Land Rover. Arkansas plates on the trailer, Arizona on the LR i think... anyone here?

I bought all my windows last fall from Callen Camper in El Cajon. I received prompt service and good quality Kinro windows. The whole transaction went very smooth and I was happy with everything. About a month ago I saw they had some windows on eBay that I thought I would rather have for my...

So I have always liked the look of the ARB winch bumpers for the XJ. Problem is, I could never justify spending $900 on a bumper :shock: I started in Autocad and Google Sketchup and after about 932 revsions and tweaks I finally think I got a design I like: On to cutting: And throw in a...

Well I have finally bought/gathered/built most everything I need to start my build up. First off, its a 98 SE with about 78k on the clock. GSA auction ex Gov. vehicle so it has a no frills interior... it does have gauges though... Parts list: RE 6130 with 3.5" front springs and full rear packs...

Hey guys- I'm new here and have been reading all the great threads for a while now. I thought I'd share my roof rack I built for my 98 XJ. I built the original version for an old Grand Wagoneer I used to own about 4 years ago: It was too tall, too ugly and I just didn't like it after I got...
