Thanks. This is what I've been working on lately. Turning my old sliders into this.

I'm stuck though since I don't have access to a welder anymore. Pretty bummed since an hour with a welder and it would be done. Need to sell more stuff.

Yeah it sucks. I just found my local jeep forum and should be able to find one on there. On the bright side I was able to get my lights working today.
Fogs.

They help a ton.

Used the Jeep to pull out my dads trailer too. Looks a little off.

I feel the same way! And I totally trust the mrs as well. I just prefer that nobody else drive her.

I love the bed in the back! It wouldn't work for me, I'm 6'4" and I've tried sleeping in the back before. I gotta build something for the top but I always like the hammock

I have a trailer that sat the same way as the above pic. I moved the springs to over the axle and it sat pretty perfect on my XJ with 5" of lift. I know it says its your dads but I just thought I would throw it out there
