Nice!

I too am planning on doing this later this year. I am thinking when the trees start changing colors.

I am in the planning stages of a trailer build. Most likely I will have a main box with side cabinets. In one of the side cabinets I plan to store most if not all of the kitchen stuff. The fold down door acting as a make shift counter. I would love to hear and see how others with trailers handle...

I actually installed one in my youngest's room. He slept 3 straight months in it. I installed some Amsteel loops in a stud on two walls using 3 inch screws and fender washers. Works like a charm!

Mag-gear, any progress on this?

@Wyoming Overland I am pretty sure you have an email from my lovely wife. :yum:

I gave the TJ a much needed colonoscopy for about 3 hours! The little Rigid flexible scope camera was an awesome tool to make sure I got out all the rust and sand that had accumulated in the frame rails. The other two invaluable tools were the blow gun with clear tubing and the vac with the...
