Really a very nicely laid out presentation. I enjoyed all the information and great pictures. Just an excellent blend of all. David

Okay, just a little about me. I'm 58 and purchased my first Jeep three years ago and have loved all my time off-road and overloading. Made Moab three times now. Retired Marine Corps Chief Warrant Officer (that's why Gunner). Come from a Marine Family shown below with my older brother and...

Okay, so a little about Alaska. Planning a solo 10,000 to 12,000 mile trip from Phoenix, Arizona to most major points in Alaska while finding as much overloading opportunities along the way as I can. Plan on starting last week of April 2018. Have purchased a 5X9 Extreme Off-Road Hiker Trailer...

Custom decals. I like decals and could not find what I wanted to I purchased a vinyl cutter and the necessary software and am learning myself.

Some previous build items. ARB lockers front and rear. Dual ARB compressor. Dual battery. Gobi rack, Smittybilt front and rear bumpers (old bumper ;shown in this picture). 10K winch. 3.5 lift.

Also installed door steps on the rear doors. Really like them and will order two additional for the front doors.

Above the stove I have two 17X24X8 inch drawers on 24-inch slides.

On the lower right I have my stove mounted on a 24-inch slide that is then mounted on another 24-inch slide. This takes up the least amount of space and affords the greatest level of usage. If I am somewhere for a couple of days I can simply remove one or both trays and place them on a table.

My ARB frog is on an ARB slide and I'm happy with both. Been very reliable even through the Phoenix summers. Above the frig I have a door that conceals a 20X20 space.

Tonight I completed the chuck box in the rear of my JKU. Box is 40 inches wide and 28.5 inches tall. I used 2X4 below the box to allow access to the small utility tray underneath and to allow me to fit a 2X4 foot table.

Hi, thought I would start a thread here that includes my Jeep build, my Hiker Trailer Build, and my April - June 2018 Alaska trip planning.

Looking forward to his trip. Thanks Ron for getting this set up so quickly. After CK, my wife Debra and I will continue to Horse Thief Lake for the night.

Perfect Ron. Can send me address via text 480.399.8067 and will meet you Thursday at 10:00am. David

Thursday is best for me.

An overnighter after CK would be perfect. Just let me know when. I can do anyway except Sunday. David

Hi Ron, if you decide to do the Crown King run again please let me know. Live in Avondale so close. Have never made that run and would prefer to do so with someone else there the fist time. Have a 2015 JKU ready to go. Retired so can do almost any day. Just let me know--text 480.399.8067...

Hi Eric. We are in the same boat--new to overloading and Jeeps. Live in Avondale and have spent two years getting my jeep ready. If you want to meet sometime we can find a Home Depot or someplace to meet and exchange ideas. No problem. I retired at 50 (early) so always looking for something...

Will not receive trailer until January 2018 but will be at the meet up on July 29th. Have other Jeep projects coming along and looking for additional ideas. Looking forward to meeting other like-minded off-road enthusiastic people.

That's a good point. I will replace the pin with some sort of locking disconnect. I did place the bolt through my rack at a 5 degree angle away from the front of the jeep so there is no weight on the pin at all but the extra precaution is sound. Thanks for reading my post and offering your...

After reading your thread about your DIY Limb Lifter I too went shopping. However, I found some threaded eye terminals that I really liked the looks of and I did not have to deal with the ferrules. Found these at Harbor Freight. They were a couple of dollars more than the ferrules but did not...
