    WRANGLER JK REAR EXPEDITION SET-UP BUILD

    @deeker Oh they're sturdy are heck. I would say 3 men could stand on one at the same time and it wouldn't budge! They're ex-MOD and cost £25 each off eBay when I bought them.

    The Robuilt Rig

    You'll have fun in that one, mate. Those Cherokees are very capable vehicles and family time is the best!

    Overland Bound Emblems!

    @Michael OB Michael, no stress, but just wanted to check if mine shipped? Do you send these USPS or? Again, no worries at all, just wanted to see if I should be looking out for it, yet? Many thanks, Dunc

    What are you using for a fridge/freezer.

    S12, we were chatting about these on another forum and we believe the ARBs are made by Waeco. Not sure why that's relevant but just thought I'd throw that in. :blush:

    What are you using for a fridge/freezer.

    @Steve I did a short write up on ours a couple of weeks ago: http://4wdx.com/waeco-cab-40-3-way-fridge-freezer/ Mine is a Waeco CAB 40 (Litre) 3 Way fridge/freezer which runs off 12v, 240 or gas. It's been great on the two trips we've taken it on but a lot will depend where you plan to go...

    Vintage Overlanding

    Corrie, I've yearned for an FJ40 for years now.  Not sure it'll happen but I haven't given up hope yet! @OP I've done a fair bit of overloading in a 70s CJ5. I didn't get many probs at all but I pedantic at maintaining it and keeping it very ship-shape. You might also want to think about where...

    FEZ The overlander?

    @Blair There was an ad out for one the same as yours last year which was well modded. http://www.clubisuzu.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6360 Take a look as it might give you some help. He had a roof rack and tent up top so the racks to fit are probably out there.

    Family Trips

    My son goes to Beavers (Junior Scouts) so when we go I check the activity badges that they can do at home. I then incorporate one badge into the trip. During Easter we went to West Wittering together for a couple of sleeps. He did his "Explore Badge" during this trip by exploring the beach and...

    Robert OB 33/48 Rigs

    Looking good, Robert! Lot of work you're doing there!! It'll be worth it, though. Hope we can hook up as you pass me on the way to Wales and check out the Frontera!

    Amount of miles/kilometer you do during a weekend trip

    Michael, that's just plain mean, mate! :blush: LOL! That looks worth the drive to me, though!! Fantastic!

    Amount of miles/kilometer you do during a weekend trip

    Deeker, here in the UK there are virtually no trails at all, full stop! I'm constantly in envy of you guys in the US and Oz who have thousands of acres of places to explore with 4WDs. Here we've got a few green lanes and the neighbouring houses complain bitterly about those.

    Rear Facing Bench Seat For Wrangler JK

    Cheers Robert! I love making things this way as long as I can get them to look and work right, the way I want them to. Many people, myself included, never thought they had the skills to work on their rigs themselves. I began cautiously in 2009 and gradually gained the confidence to do pretty...

    Rear Facing Bench Seat For Wrangler JK

    One thing myself and my 6 y/o son like to do is natter on the HAM rig in the rear of the JK in various locations but the JK 2 door setup isn't ideal for this. With the rear seat in place there isn't room for us to park our behinds and without it there's plenty of space but it's uncomfortable, so...

    Suspension advice

    You're welcome Robert. The Teraflex kits are well respected in the Jeep communities and many of the overlanders use the short arm kit and rock crawlers use their long arm kit. Well worth the investment if you can stretch to it.

    Beginnings of my overland trailer

    I'll watch this with great interest. Looks like a very nice base trailer to work from, Jason.
