First time I slept in the tent in a storm, and it was a good one. No leaks and didn't slap around in the wind... I finally got a pic of it set up in the yard drying out because I had to put it away wet...

Looks a little light on leg day, 32s or 33s would look great. Nice buy and that tent setup!

Almost done with the cadillac, got some 20's on and ready for state inspection.. I haven't put the grill in because I'm probably going to build one

Me and my brother started this Mj as a lowered shop truck.. He can't finish it so I bought it so it would get finished... 4.0 with late model interior swap, keep it 2 WD and lower it 3 in front and 5 in rear... Patch up the bed, paint the patches in primer and seal the entire truck... Probably put something on the door...

Thanks Whaanga, sad thing is the trailer sits a lot now, and will most likely go up for sale in the spring. Me and the wife has decided to go bigger and flat tow the jeep.... So I bought this and have been working on turning it into a camper...

That trailer looks awesome! Was that a kit or was it all DIY?

Both trailers are DIY, I used a boat trailer to start the tent trailer, the teardrop I built the frame also..
