Got it polished and installed. Had to offset it to the passenger side slightly . Due to the mounting bracket location on the frame. Everywhere is covered in skid plate.

Awesome, thank you for the replys. As far as weight, I do not plan on traveling with it full of water ever, as I always carry 20l of drinking water in my jeep. This is mainly for my hot shower system, the reason I'd like to keep it as far back as possible is simply for accessibility. If you look...

As I've been adding to my overland trailer. I've come across an aluminum water storage tank that I'd love to install onto it. My concern is mounting location. The only usable spot for it would be under the kitchen slide out. With that being said, my concern is about ground clearance. trailer...

Finally had some time to enjoy. Maiden voyage was a success. Nothing broken, a few minor design flaws to address.

Getting so close. Almost 1 year since I've started the build. New lock in lock out drawer slides installed. New noco 7.2a charger installed. Just waiting on a Jerry can mount and some time for welding a spare tire carrier.

I took care of the switch panel this weekend. Charging from the jeep seems to work. Didnt have proper hardware for the master disconnect. And still missing another 5 gang rocker switch. The noco genius10 will mount perfectly Inside here to charge from shore power

Ah yes. I didnt see the point in relocating it. If I use the rear jack itll only be used while sleeping. I cant cook and sleep at the same time.

Got some work done this weekend. Its coated with 3 kits of buck shot. Today I got all the latches and lights back together. Doors are weather striped.

I have 4 jacks total. I'll likely stick with that. Its plenty sturdy with just the 2 side jacks. The tongue jack is purely for loading and unloading. The rear jack I'll always keep handy.

Got the rig back from sandblasting today. Laid a few coats of self etching primer instantly. Hopefully this paint job will last. Lesson learned. Read in the instructions, and use enough product. Buck shot will be sprayed on the weekend when there is less traffic in my shop.

Tent is on. Just to come off for proper sandblasting and paint. Weekend project.

Progress on the rear slideout is going well. Just waiting on some slides and hinges and I'll continue to build the upper drawer. Tent also came in... damaged. It was long wait for it. Luckily i havent touched it yet so we will see what happens in the next couple days. Its repairable and I...

Well the slideout is stained and sealed. No pictures yet. Covid has slowed progress on some areas. I'm also very disappointed at how my "quick & cheap" paint job job lasted over the winter. Lesson learned. Not sure which direction I'll go next. Sand blasting is my ideal option but with working...

Got the rest of the drawers built. The Top 40" drawer will turn into a coffee table hinge style top. Not going too fancy. Bottom 40" drawer will house my norcold tek2 fridge/freezer and stove at the rear. Along with 2 simple 6" drawers. I'll take the inconvenience of having to close the top...

Building the slideout.. as it continues to snow. Ill Fit 2 6" drawers in the leftover space. My stove & fridge have just enough clearance, once the main bottom section is complete. I'll work on the 8"x40" coffee table style drawer for above it.
