I’m so happy to finally be in the club! My boy in his natural habitat:

The JT?

2020 Rubicon, Mopar 2", 315/70/17 KO2's, A.R.E. topper, DECKED, AWE Tread Edition dual exhaust,, Ham, GMRS, dual battery, 200 watts solar, fridge, etc.

The trailer?

I made it.

 

[Donkey Fluffer]

Welded a Heavy Duty HF trailer, but kept the bolts as backup. Added a 2x2 "spine" to stiffen it, which actually forms the tongue on the front and hitch on the back. Swapped to new a 3500lb axle. Truck bed coated all.

Upper portion is 2x10's. I wanted a very strong trailer. Roof is made to be easily removed, if objects over 37" tall need to be carried. Made the slideout tray of ¾" plywood and used fixed HF 2" casters to make it glide in and out. 2" backspace wheels with 235/75/15 Goodyear Wranglers. Added roof basket. Have other things to add (100AH AGM battery, solar, gas cans, etc)

Interior dimensions are 37" tall, 43" wide, and 93" long.

I have no illusions that this has any real off road capability, but it carries everything to the base camp we could ever need. I have taken it up some beat up trails, but nothing that I had any trepidation about. It's overbuilt, not light at all, and looks good from 10 feet. Best of all, it was cheap to make.

We sleep in the back of the Gladiator

Finally mounted my badges and of course the Gator badge was part of that

More or less. They don't pop out, but they're not too difficult to remove. I did use the Mopar spray paint, but they are small cans and not cheap. If I knew then what I know now, I just have the local auto body supply mix me a can of matching spray paint. Then I used a matt clear coat because I didn't want a glossy finish.
