Little things keep the dream alive!! Do you have the slider on top of that? If so, how do you like that setup for keeping things organized?

That would be great but he is feral and we have other cats. He’s territorial over US. Not a space but our actual person. If he sees us with the other cats he’s in canawhoopazz mode. We’ve created a space for him in the garage and are planning to expand with a catio out the window so he can stalk birds and such while still being safe from coyotes and hawks and eagles that we have around here. He’s in the garage because one day he curled up in our old suburban with a nasty bite on his leg and laid down to expire. We nursed him back from the infection and he’s been with us ever since. Garage is about 1000 sqft, insulated and climate controlled and he has the run of it so he’s not cooped up in a prison or anything. We just need to work on the logistics of using the garage while he lives there.

People like you show me there's still a heck of a lot of good and fun in the world.

I have had two cats that way - I was THEIRS and that was that.
Yawnie used to be an indoor/outdoor cat until one evening he was sitting on my lap and I felt a wet spot on his neck, parted the fur and found a puncture so deep I could see a tendon..
To the vet he went the next morning - and they found a matching puncture on the other side.
I have a feeling he was close to being lunch for a coyote - they are here and come into the yard now and then. So, no cat of ours will ever leave the house again. Between the bald eagles, hawks, coyotes and maniacs on the road here, nope, ain't gonna happen.

I'm happy I did. I passed up several used systems for cheap once I heard there was a single drawer version coming.

It's pretty awesome. I rarely used the bed to carry tall stuff and I recently picked up a little 5x8 utility trailer so the big stuff hauling is handled there. I'm getting too old to be picking up my snowblower and putting it in the bed anymore. So once I had the trailer, the camper shell and drawer became much more practical. Recovery gear, dog training stuff, tools, it's all organized and reachable.

Good to know. I’ve been eyeing it. That and about 50 million other things. Want to set the slider up for the spare and jack and extra fuel cans. Half the drawer for tools and other half for camp stuff. I tend to go heavy on tooling because we wheel alone. If we break we something out in the desert we have to fix it. I want anything I could ever need and it’s gotta be the safest and most efficient use case for all of it. That Bauer tool chest stack gets HEAVY!!!!

My jeep got JKS front geo brackets. Didn’t notice a difference but feels better to have I guess. I’m still constantly adjusting my steering alignment. Would upgrading steerer components (steer smarts, etc..) fix that? Sits on a 2.5 spacer lift and 3/4 rear spacer.

I also need to repaint that crash bracket that is already rusting. A lot of little annoying things with these Jeeps.

Also did a Whiteline Rear Swaybar. It’s in the middle setting and made a HUGE difference in how the jeep handles. There’s no “skipping” over a series of bumps. Feels more planted.

Here’s some pics and how it’s currently looking:

This really solved my old bad back for lifting anything heavy into to the trailer

HF added my Warn 2k winch on a 2” receiver mount, then welded a vertical receiver on the frame of the trailer at the rear and one at the front as well.
