Worked on the WJ for a moment before dark tonight. Pulled timing cover. Glad I did. Right and left cam tensioners now on order. All else looks fine. But in better news, my custom heavy duty stainless diamond plate brush guard for the Tahoe just arrived! Time to replace cheap plastic with serious strength! Just need to add the holes for the mounting bolts..... unfortunately it will have to wait as I have my hands full with the WJ right now.

Good start, do you have to replace the front pan too ? Hows the frame on the old girl ? Whats your goal, not a plow I hope.

The running gear is great, just alot of bodywork. The plow is coming off and I plan to do the Trans America Trail when she is done.

I've heard it's a good trek. Is your engine the 4 or 6 cylinder model. All my friends did sb Chevy's in theirs but I love both the 4 and 6 cly models, even the old flat heads are neat and very dependable. What year model is your Jeep ?

After modifying(shortened 3"), sanding, priming and applying bed-liner to the ladder-rack, I installed the front frame.
I'll need to relocate the GMRS and CB antennas.
If the weather cooperates, I hope to complete the modification of the rear and side supports this week. Once that's done, I'll be able to install a cross-bar to install the RTT.

Spent the day welding on brackets and getting the new awning mounted to the truck. Glad I went with the 8 foot one. Sets up super easy and so does the room.

I like your setup. Any info on make and model you can give ? Not a lot of need for a tent with your setup. Is there a wall next to the truck too ?
Enthusiast III
It is the ARB 2500 awning and their room add on. Walls on all 4 sides, floor and ceiling. Great setup, I'll be using it for a hang out room, as my rtt is comfy, and the wife likes sleeping off the ground lol. I'll attach some photos of inside. All 3 faces showing have screen doors the side on the truck does not, it just zips around so you can access the truck from inside. The side on the truck has zippers in the upper corners, guessing for vents and to pass power cables through from truck, and the whole inside is lined on the roof with hooks to hang items from. Also comes with a small hanging closet to put items in, it hangs from hooks on either back corner.
