A year and a half. My buddy owned it for about 8 years prior to that, he bought it off a mechanic in Truckee who had a lien on it. It’s got a Friendly Ford bumper on it so I assume it’s a Las Vegas native.

Got it painted, and have begun reassembly. Touched up the fenders and the rack too.

Well new Jeep calls for new paint. Pulled the tent down, pulled the rack off, pulled the tub off the frame. Replaced the original shocks with new ones from Napa. Got it all ready for primer and paint. Will be doing some other touch up work too

Just realized next weekend is labor day, then parents in town, then wife leaves for portugal, then i leave for france. Don't think we'll be making it. We have a ton of fruit to harvest and can, etc.

As mentioned on Facebook (that was Me) I’ll let ya know on a day or two of the wife and I are gonna hook up and head out. Definitely won’t be bringing the Wagoneer tho, we’d be in the new Jeep

Its a good old truck! This one is a 74. Its actually "My" daily driver now that we consolidated a few vehicles. I still have a company truck for work, but otherwise, I'm in the old Ford.

Well this might change things up a bit. Wife and I brought home a JLU Rubicon. I’m excited.

Had a nearly 500 mile weekend in the old girl, about 60 miles of dirt and trails. Headed out to Austin, NV to camp on some National Forest land, and do some backroading. Untitled Untitled Pretty much all a man needs is right in this picture: Untitled Untitled Untitled Untitled Sorry I...

So, I went out with Nevada Bighorns Unlimited to work on a guzzler build. Was a good time, towed about 2 hours each way, mostly highway, only about 15 miles of dirt. Sadly, my interior light burned out on the tent, and CVT will not provide a warranty repair since i bought the tent second hand...

Well, its that time of year. Pulled the tarp off the tent, emptied out the trailer, cleaned out the leaves and stuff, checked and re-packed all gear, put the battery on the charger, put the new sleeping bag in the tent, etc etc. Hoping for a trip this weekend.

Hasn't been any progress or use on the trailer since this winter has been super crappy. Hoping to get out in the next few weekends since the rain and snow has stopped.

So last week, half drunk at 7pm on Thursday, my wife and I decided to go camping after work on Friday. I loaded the trailer in about 10 minutes, then packed a cooler and duffle bag in the morning, loaded the dog, and drove to work planning to leave after i put in my 8 hours. Went to Ft...

So, after this trip, I'm going to be getting some LED pods to wire up at the 4 corners, to provide more light for the immediate area, as well as for my cook station etc. The under rack lights were great and super useful, but were not helpful for providing light at the table or anything.

Well, the second trip with the trailer and tent was a success. Still in "shakedown" mode, not taking any extreme distance trips or hardcore trails, but this trip was further, had much more backroading, was an off grid "dispersed" camp site, and had some decently varying weather conditions. I...

Presently I am by charging it at all. After trips I just plug it in at home. The power usage for the accessories I am running will be so minimal that I should be able to go quite a long time without needing a recharge. I have used this battery in my camper running water pumps and lights and...

little better pic of the lighting setup. Will be reproducing this with 4 more lights INSIDE the awning. Untitled by Marn, on Flickr

And, we have light! I just used some cheap water proof LED's from ebay. Wired directly to the battery fuse block, with a switch in line. I used automotive weather proof plug connectors at the battery box, so it can be unplugged at any given time without removing the lid of the box. Untitled...

Thanks :-) I got the one i used from amazon as well.

Untitled by Marn, on Flickr Untitled by Marn, on Flickr Untitled by Marn, on Flickr somebody on facebook asked for a build and parts list, so here's the rundown: Okay, so there are a lot more sturdy or roomy ways to do this project, but I'm poor and cheap and had limited space on the front...
