I've been waiting quite awhile for a real fix, and once the replacement came online I figured this is as close as it would get, so I scheduled the service. The morning I showed up though I was told by local dealer that flashing the computer with the latest update was required, and unfortunately...
Not too bad to pull them out actually, just a tad awkward - worst part is finding a place to store them...
I started with passenger side removed for fridge/freezer (I made a simple plywood platform that bolts in the seat mounts that the fridge ties down too). Plenty of room for an adult...
Donāt sell yourself short, nothing magic about metal fab, just patience, practice, and desire⦠hell only reason I ever wanted to learn how to weld was to make Jeep parts for my old CJ5⦠back then the aftermarket was primarily focused on all the ānewā Jeeps⦠the CJ7 and YJās! ?
Seriously...
Thank you! I was really close to getting an industrial style cap, but I had this vision I couldnāt shake. I really dig the way yours looks and functions ?
Not for everyone, but I always enjoyed making things. This took some time (especially teaching myself how to sew!), and is still a work in progress, but it works fantastic and was considerably cheaper than anything on the market comparably equipped (plus I think it looks cool - I know...
Built a camper before taking a road trip to Texas in April for my sonās wedding, stayed outside of Telluride, CO and the salt flats between Utah and Nevada on the way back; Telluride was cold - in the teens, Planar diesel heater worth its weight in gold!
Last pic is Northern CA once we got...
Thank you! The camper base is made from mild steel, side doors and trays are made of 1/8 5052 aluminum, I had the sheets sheared at 100ā, and the long edges of each bent up 3ā. Overall platform is 54ā x 100ā. I used the drop to cut and weld the end caps, then 1ā z flashing welded around the...
Hit those cut edges on the acrylic with a quick pass of a propane or mapp torch; itāll smooth all the roughness and look like clear glass when done ?
Love watching your progress, looking great, so satisfying building it yourself ifān you have the patience! Just doing final fit up of my tent...
Well, for what itās worth, mine has a touch over 33k on it - has made that noise since new - and still runs really good. I tend to shrug it off when it happens now and just ease the throttle/downshift; might not be perfect but itās worked this far⦠?āāļø
You ever figure this out? My 6speed has been making exact same sound, usually during light throttle/3-4k rpm while pulling a hill - happened in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Outside temps and engine temp have no impact, if I accelerate it gets louder, deceleration makes it quieter, downshifting to higher...
You wonāt even know itās there - literally⦠itās only like 300ish pounds; no issues on the road at all. All in all, a pretty cool little setup.
Itās a little motorcycle camper actually, well thatās what my Dad used it for - wanted to get my wife back into camping, so decided to go the glamping route (she was NOT impressed with our last jeep camping trip on the Rubicon 18 years agoā¦) So, borrowed this little gem, shot the coast for some...
