See the way it's setup if I made a wood platform that folded out it would be an ideal cooking platform as well as place to sleep, eat, write the book I've been working on, set the laptop on and watch movies etc.

Subbed. I love the expedition idea. My own is a personal DD that would end up being my BOV in the event of anything happening. Anything you come up with that I can steal....I will.

It's a portable on demand water heater. At 259 dollars it's a little expensive for my taste but I'm gonna get one.
5 gallon poly water container jerry can style. Going to get a bunch of these and just not get a tank welded up. I'm just gonna carry these with me

Looks like a good deal on the Jerry water can. They'll look good for your theme. Sucks that Jerry fuel cans cost so much right now.

ColdWarrior

Too bad you're not closer....I might have a couple extras.

jeryshery

I don't have any of the jerry water cans but as far as fuel goes I think I've got 7 spare jerry cans lying around in the desert somewhere. If I ever go take the time to walk the property line and collect them all.

Just finished trimming the front fenders...What you guys think?

jeryshery

Still need to cut the rears. The trim is temporarily on checking for fitment.

Is that 4 wheel drive emblem OEM? I thought that's from older J10s and Grand Wagoneers of that era.

jeryshery

yeah it's oem they used the 4wheel drive emblem instead of the 4x4 emblem from 84-86 I believe. It's going to be completely rebadged to an Umbrella corp Vehicle division rig.

That's cool. You should hold on the old emblems. They are worth some money on eBay.

jeryshery

Definitely I've got all the spares off the other jeep too.

jeryshery

Check these out. They're like an rv style spare tire carrier that you mount to the bumper and they're hinged and fold down. So when I get my channel iron welded up to do the bumpers I'm going to be buying two to mount on the rear bumper.

I like that tire carrier but how big of a tire do you think its gonna hold, the bumper mounting are to me dosnt look that strong,
mabey make a plate that would run the length of the bumper that would go on the inside to spread the load.

I read a review for it and the guy said he had his spare on it from his f450 and it was fine those are 32 inch tall e-rated tires on 16s. I'm only going to be running 31-10.5x15s c-rated so they shouldn't weigh too much. As far as making a plate to run the length of the bumper I'm using channel iron from a semi trailer frame for the bumpers and I'm pretty sure the bumpers will be strong enough to handle weight that would make the poor little jeep break.
