Default dixie jeep overhaul and jeep camper

So far I have done-

Custom exhaust
snorkle
bumpers
exterior cupholders
removed headliner
4.5in lift with an extra 2in spacer and 3in block for about 6-7in
33's
cut fenders and quarters.
fishing pole rack on the roof inside jeep.
gun racks too

I am getting my 4.7L in less than a month seeing as my current 4.0 is dead.

I have planned in this time-

fiberglass fenders
remove carpet
bedline interior and exterior (my dads shop has the big ***** machine that makes it look soo nice and pretty and evenly textured)
push button start.
jegs performance race seats.
new flag pole mount
caging windows
and lastly bobcat tires 14x35 (off-road use only)

im also taking my parts jeep and cutting it in half and using the back half to build a custom camper!! itll look bada** when its done

Will have pics of every step.

if you are gonna go to the trouble of building a camper out of a jeep, thats gonna be ungodly heavy anyways, just cut it off at the front fenders and keep the entire passenger compartment, so you have room for tools and laying down fully once you do a flat wood floor. I considered doing this to my parts jeep, but the scrap money is much more enticing than trying to tote 2000 + lbs behind my jeep thru the woods.
