I'm looking at the Aliners very closely. It checks all of our boxes but my main concern is, how has it held up? The 12' models are just the right size for my wife and I, light weight, fresh water tank but no black water, stores in the garage, and enough room for me to stand up in.
Little Guy teardrop. It's been a very nice upgrade from tent life for sleeping comfort and travel/camp convenience. Been very happy with how easy it is to tow too. After I couple years i am considering a change to an Aliner A frame style camper. I'd like to be able to make coffee and breakfast...
Yup, I have a hardly noticeable, but there, dent in the bedside after my fender came into contact with a boulder and pushed it in.
Eh, I could debate the front of the vehicle dictates tire size just as much as the bed, so I don't think a bed chop and rear fenders are the limiting factor to the...
I don't have the pics but I've seen at least a half dozen JTs with a stock sectioned/chopped bed. I really like the look over the motobilt bed. I like the look of stock plus so that's the way I'd go.
The tail dragging is an issue but I like having as much bed space as possible. I think I'll go...
I wheeled metal masher with a JT that had the bobbed bed and 42s! There were a lot more built Gladiators this year. Was really fun to see. I have a whole new list of items to spend my money on
I haven't seen the YT video but I did see the vehicle in person. The front and rear axles were riding on bump stops. I asked one of the JPP people how that worked and got a *uhhh I dunno* shrug.
My Jeep is pretty far from stock, I have a lift w/ control arms, steering, 38s on beadlocks, larger rock rails, a bumper and winch amongst other smaller items. I roll into tech inspection at a Jeep Jamboree and the guy looks at my JT and says "oh, its just a Gladiator." Meaning I would be...
Did a little more testing before Moab to determine if I needed a small .5" spacer up front. I'm just about full bump, aired up to 31 PSI, and plenty of room. I'm going to run it as is.
Thank you, I have put a lot of work and consideration into the build.
I'm contemplating several options. For now I'm running it how it sits. Moab will be a good test. I've considered a .5" spacer for a little extra clearance without loosing the rake completely. I've also looked into the AEV HD...
Thought the first clip looked familiar....because I actually said it. I stand by my statement, I will never go with balancing beads again.
OP, you will consistently have that issue.
Looks killer. How do you like the Aliner? I have a small teardrop and the thought of standing up in my trailer is very appealing, especially when I'm trying to put on pants in the morning. I really like the weight/design of the Aliner, but I have heard some mixed reviews on durability. Most of...
