I took the old Kargomaster Safari rack off the JKU tonight. Too much rust, too noisy, just too big. New Stealth rack coming soon

the max coupler is installed.

The Rockies are iconic with the Prairies too. I would like to see that incorporated into the badge.

Yes, keep it simple.

It's intended for both. But not for extreme off-road

The propane bottle will be mounted in the front next to the nose box. I'm still working out the details for the stove.

The final steps were getting close. I had to extend the hitch arm and remove the standard 2" ball receiver and add the new max coupler.

I added aviation cables to the side box doors to use as a counter. I then found I checker plated tool box lid that worked great as a rear door. A couple coats of flat black paint and it was installed. I then built the fridge slide out and added a couple Velcro pouches on the door with...

Next, It was time to check the final height with the RTT. You see, I gained an extra 2" of height with the Duratracs so I had to make sure I could get the EH2 in the garage. Wow! That was close, only 1 inch to spare. I purchased 2 Watts metal access panels and painted them flat black and...

The chassis is 6 feet long by 4 feet wide. The idea was to make the box 36" high to allow enough height to walk under the roof top tent when it's open and low enough when it's Park in the garage. I wanted 2 side doors to allow for a fridge slide out and drawers on the other side. In addition, I...
