Ok maybe it's cool or I need more sleep.
Went camping last week and last night and my buddy has a teardrop camper.
Today another friend sent some redneck pictures.


Now a Cherokee behind a Cherokee would make a nice buggy for outings.

Thoughts?

Picture wont show.

Well it was a minivan cut in half to make a camper and it got me thinking as what to do with the hulk of the parts truck I'm going to bring home and thought hey, cool cheap teardrop that matches the jeep.

Then I searched Jeep Camper and sure enough someone has made one and I think it looks cool.

i think that is cool. now if i had a wrecked jeep, welder, metal, time, oh and MONEY i'd have one of those.

I have the welder and the metal can be had cheap or even free.
I'm thinking the one in the pic doesn't have enough tongue weight and looks shakey.
I would keep the firewall and mold a storage compartment up front for propane and gear.
The fuel tank can become a grey water tank and trim out the wheel wells for more room and lower the whole thing.
Platform floor and where one door is use a slide out water tank.
Make the right rear door suicide so you can open both wide.
Make the rear hatch sealed off from the inside and make a kitchen like a teardrop.
Add a fantastic vent and a rooftop AC and a jack knife bed and pedestal table and it could be really nice for next to nothing.

One cool idea would be a slide out on the front like a popup.

well it sounds like your going to have enough of them to give it a try. definetly need A/C. Slide oh ya I think you should go with 2. might have to put both axles under it to help carry the weight. Looks cool, be great if it was green.

I have to measure but got the idea to weld the rear off one onto the front of the donor so it opens at both ends.

Then I will have a "Cher'Stream" (Patent Pending)

Should not be any harder than the time 2 of us got stoned and drunk and welded a datsun and a bug together.
Sobered up in the morning and it didn't look half bad so we had to finish it.

I made the camera cab they used in all the Sinefeild shows and on Hill Street Blues. Worked 10 years in the movie biz in NYC.

Ps. RRam, no green jeeps,no green campers..

LOL
Can't even think of a good reply to that one.
it seems I could use a rear left side electric window motor. My son put the window down and there it stays, no worky. hurry up and buy some jeeps. I need parts

Who needs a window motor when you can use wood. That's right I said wood.
We rented a Roll's convertible from a guy for a movie and when it came time to put the windows down I had to pull the panels and remove the 2x3 WOOD blocks!
The windows are chain drive and I guess he didn't want to pay $800 per window times 4 to fix.

Just got called on the red jeep, it has 3:73 and I don't feel like changing 2 diffs.
