Just some before and now pics as I assemble, modify & build up to whatever it is I'm attempting to accomplish. 1st photo is July 3-2019. And it seems to me, I had a larger disposable income before I started this love affair with my JT.

Go Fast Camper Superlite "assembled in the USA" Montana to be exact. I love it. Bed is made in it all the time. No stop to assemble a "Swiss Army knife" type RTT. I have full use of the truck bed vs the half rack types. I'm building up the Rack right now Strengthening and installing sides to mount a few items like, max tracks, Jerry cans, Chainsaw, hedgers, and maybe a water can. But the rack did 7 BOH trails with no problems this last year. I will do the Tillamook trails and the Rubicon this coming summer, if anyone would like to join. I'm shooting for June and July, to beat the fire season that killed my plans last year.

Very nice! I like seeing a Soft Top too!

I rarely see built up JTs with a bed and a rack, but with a Soft Top.

I love the premium soft top. Having a truck where the top can be removed while driving 5-10 mph is the bomb. Top on doors off is my personal fav, like pictured above. The added storage and room alone is worth the soft top. See ya on the trails...........

5.13 gears. I've mastered the "Brake-Lock" technology, so I can't justify lockers, for now...........
I feel like if I get into wheeling much more, the JT is not my dream vehicle, and I would consider something more aggressive, that I would tow to my destinations, like MOAB & Sand Hollow. But I need the JT for Overlanding and my Boondocking trailer, so it does great for this, at the moment.

Thats a nice lookin' truck. What tube doors are those?
They are off amazon, several styles there. Just a bitch to hang correctly. Lots and lots of choices out there

Nice run! I will need to look into the brake lock tech.
