Good fabrication work, you might consider making and selling them as a hobby.

Just the facts my friend. When someone does a good job it should be recognised as such.

I think if I had a choice (at my age) this would be my kinda rig. Not too big, not to small, low profile with everything you need for whatever you do.
I like it a lot, I really really do. Congratulations on perfection IMO !
Thanks, I appreciate that. It's taken awhile to get here, from Jeeps&ground tents, to Xterras&rooftoptents, to towing a travel trailer. I like where I am right now, it really works for us and is as self contained as we need with way more creature comforts than someone should have while out there on the road less traveled.

Today, got (99% of the) trail stripes out from the last trip:
Not bad for a ~17 year old Yeep (and yes, I need to touch-up the paint on the rock slider).

Lol, maybe the scuffed sliders count? I guess I need to try harder! Truth be told, I try pretty hard not to stripe the WJ up, but it won't stop me from using a trail and I won't modify the trail (cut stuff down) just to avoid stripes. This is one of the advantages of the WJ: it's actually pretty small. So if typical rigs have been using a trial, chances are the branches are knocked-back enough for the WJ already.

I hear ya on that. Once you go and you take a line, you are pretty much committed, trail stripes or not lol. I try not to get any scratches or dings as well.

Pulled the roof bars off of my Disco, and installed some rubber plugs so I can run wires to the roof rack later. . .

For tree branch protection ? Why did you remove them? Why not connect them to the rack bars ? Just asking

Gaze upon my new shaft...a Tom Wood’s rear CV drive shaft for my TJ. To compliment the TeraFlex BellyUp transmission skid plate (tad more clearance in order to hang with my brother’s new to him 2015 JKUR). Also, pics of the rear upper (adjustable) and lower control arms (Metalcloak) to adjust the pinion angle from the tummy tuck/engine & body lift. The Novak T-case shift cable and the DEI heat shield replacement/fuel injector & rail covers (including pic of original heat shield). Next on the to-do list are the front axle upper bushing and control arms R&R.
