Ok I'm trying to post some pictures of my tent from my cellphone. I hope it works.
I got the tent a few weeks ago and i got say its AWESOME! It took about 5 minutes to set it up. Very well made. Can't wait to get it mounted to the trailer. I'm really wanting to get started on the trailer now. Going to have to buy a welder i think. Take it easy out there.

Well for an update. Finally desided to do the head gasket. It was bad. 3 cylinders had coolant in them. So Im having a valve job done, milling the head, and a over all clean up of the head and intake manifold. With that Im also replaceing the fly wheel, New exuast header, Throotle body spacer, and A/C system. I hope I can get it all back together. 
. I will try to post some pictures and do a write up also.

Hey man. I just read you're entire suspension thread and build thread. I gotta say, absolutely impressive. Im 18, I've always loved jeeps. I bought my first one three weeks ago, already kinda set up, small lift, roof rack, tires, and bumpers. But, a week after I bought my 93 the clutch went out, along with the rearend, and many many many minor problems.
ha. So I'm selling that junker. Hopin to get a new soon. But your thread is going to be my go to source for my new xj. Great build.

Thanks again for all the complaints. I hope to have some updates soon on everything thats been going on. Been rebiulding the top end of the engine and finding all kinds of things in the prosess that needs replaceing. 
. Flywheel, freeze plugs, cleaning up the wiring under the hood. I should have taken a picture of that mess. Got some lights on the bumper, Alarm, A/C system, and some transmission temp. guages. Take it easy all.

I think this is my favorite jeep on here. will be basing mine off of this one. tent's looking good. I'm going to building a tent platform to put on my roof rack. I'm thinking 4 4x8s of plywood, and then 4x4s to hold it up. will fold up like a board game, and the tent will just go ontop of it. I know it's big, but I want the room and the awesomeness of sleeping uptop = D

Updates on some more that I've been doing to my jeep. I will go get the tires and wheels in the morning so i had to finish cutting the fenders. Here are a few picts. of the prosess.
This is the original fender in the front.
My first attempt. I tryed to bend the fender and it looked like crap so i cut it again.
and this was the final cut. I went and picked up some molding to line the fender with. I have some picts of that later.
After that I got a wild hair and desided to paint the jeep. Heres a shot of the redneck paint booth I made in the garage out of painters plastic. I had a few beers. Seemed like a good idea.
And the end result. Not to bad for 11 cans of RUST-OLEUM Camo Tan paint and 2 cans of RUST-OLEUM Matte clear coat.
The final install on the fender. The molding that I picked up to line the edge of the fender.
And then cutting the rear tonight for the tire install in the morning. Sorry I didnt get a before picture. My phone has been acting up and it didnt save it.

Well I have a picture of the rear completed but my PC desided to act up. Ill try to get it up in the next day or 2. Take it easy all.

I'm sorry if someone already asked this, but your paint is just rustoleum camo tan? I'm trying to find the best color tan out there but all the ones I find are too light or have too much of a yellow tint
