It will b built from an old 1940s chevy truck bed turned trailer. The axle was swapped for a straight axle. The wood is rotted. So I will strt from a bare frame. Gunna go with jeep hubs and wheels. The top will b a camper shell that can b removed so I can haul stuff with the teailer. The rear door will also be removable. The trailer itself will b 3' tall from floor to top and the camper shell is almost 2' tall. It will b a little higher than the jeep.

That's my plans anyways. We'll see how it goes. Lol

I am interested in seeing more about your gun and ammo storage and which guns you plan on storing. I have a few guns and have a few ideas. I want them to be concealed but also readily accessible if ya know what I mean.

Do some research in the trailer. You can find some really great deals out there and some really cool pics. I have attached a few.

You said earlier that you were looking for Wrangler sound bars. Did you know that some XJs had factory sound bars? I'm not sure what years or trims but I found one in a 96 XJ Sport. My father in law has one in his 97 XJ Sport too.

Anyway, cool build. I like your theme.

Didn't know that about the XJ sound bars. Awesome! I'll have to check that out.

As for my gun storage, not sure yet. Thinkin bout gun racks on side windows and a police style rifle mount by the center console near the dash on the passenger side for a riot shot gun or an AK. I have a bunch of ideas rollin in my head, but my idea to cash ratio don't add up. Lol

Thanks! I can't wait to get out and do it again. Only reason I chose that spot is I knew we wouldn't see another person. Only able to get there in 4x4 or boat. Oh well. Got another spot where I deer hunt. Free to camp and not many ppl know about it. Has a real nice stream that runs thru and a lot of trails. Plan on that happening nxt month.

the monster sticker reminds me of something I used to do. I started sticking them in the upper corner of the back glass on one of my cars as I was walking out of the store. After a few weeks I realized how many Monster's I had been drinking when almost 1/4 of my window was monster stickers lol

Jeep looks good BTW!
