First change from stock. Lift to be installed over the winter...
Platform dimensions: 48”W x 73.5”L.
Hinges are simply for securing the two halves. Pins pull and front platform slides on top of rear.
Probably going for 2e 3”thick (24”x72”)Home Depot foam pad as mattress of choice. Don’t...
Hey guys, so I am starting my 97 XJ build today. I have owned this jeep for about 8 years now. I haven't done much with it since life has gotten in the way, deployments, moving, job etc but now I am selling my 2016 chevy Colorado to save some money. I am planning on using my Jeep as a daily...
most of us camp near water pretty often and the more i go out the more I am motivated to fish and I wanted a way to store my fishing poles outside the car. I made this for some 20$ at the local ace hardware. Holds 3 rods. it's not the prettiest but it works super well. i have a soft case for my...
Greetings Overland Bounders! I'd like to introduce to you the crown jewel of my setup: the low-budget, multi-use utility adventure trailer.
I bought this 5' x 8' enclosed utility trailer for $500 from my parents who had it custom built back in 2000. It has 50/50 barn-style rear doors, a...
Just finished up this project this morning, and thought it was a good thing to share a how-to for.
Our 2001 Cherokee is our purpose-budget-built camping vehicle, and we have made a bed platform for the back in order to be able to not add too much size and weight (and cost) with a RTT. The down...

I am deciding to share my sleeping platform system project I recently completed on my black 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sport (JKU).
A bit about our travels:
I wont be linking many pictures since I have published a 3-part series of videos on our YouTube Channel. Please Subscribe to our...
Just finishing up my rear seat delete. After roughly 2 years of no one sitting back there I figured it was time to make better use of the space. And now that it's about done, I realize I should've done it long ago.
Two storage cubbies access the underside of the platform along with open entry...
I'm Looking for anyone with experience or who has removed the 3rd row seat in the LR4 and replaced it with storage things or watertanks, etc.. Please find some ideas below. do you have any ideas or solutions?
****Deadline set for 1/11/2019*****
Alrighty folks. Despite the first two attempts being flops, you've been on my case about giving the DIY contest one more shot. We've made some adjustments, I created a form (to make things easier for you) and we've added prizes to the mix. Not sure yet what...
Here's a fun one! If you are in to photography, like most on this forum are, you likely have a tripod laying around that rarely gets used. And even if you use it, this can easily be reversed or modified to retain it's function. All you need is another mounting plate for your tripod adapter...
Hey There!
Adding to my Jeep Sleeping Platform post, I created DIY Window Ventilation for my Jeep JKU.
Here's how I did it!
I saw a couple of years ago a post someone from Germany made about sleeping in his Jeep. He showed some rear window vents that he ordered in Germany. They're quality...
Hey all!
Just thought I'd post a couple pics of the sleeping platform I made (V1.0) for my 2010 Jeep JKU Rubicon.
I don't have a RTT or Trailer - or even a Tent for that matter, and was invited to a weekend trip to Superior National Forest in Northern MN. I had 3 days to prepare for the trip...
Hello everyone! I'm new on here and this is the story of my Cherokee Build..
Background:
My name is Matt and I am currently living in Middle Georgia. I originally hail from the Northeast but due to the military I find myself down in the south now. In early 2018 I decided I wanted to build...
Here is a schematic I have drawn up for a 12 volt power supply that I am currently working on. Please disregard the power inverter being direct wired to the battery. I have changed this because I have wired banana jacks to the battery for direct power so I can plug the inverter into them because...
I recently repurposed an old dog crate divider rack. You know, the kind that come in larger dog crates so you can quarter off the pup and as it grows so does the crate. Well, that has been sitting on a shelf for years and finally I looked at it in a different light the other day and saw a DIY...
This is version 3 of an SUV Cargo Storage deck that I’m calling a Drawerless Drawer System, and I think I’m done for now.
Here's the build video with full process. At the end I address the critical measurements. Keep reading below for more build details and measurements for a 3rd gen 4runner...
Hi everybody,
as I have a workshop and like to build things as well as fit them properly, I decided to build my own drawer system. That way they are also a bit cheaper, and we got a system exactly the way we wanted it.
We were looking at different slide out versions, and decided that a drop...
Hey Everybody,
I am looking for a cheaper alternative to the TemboTusk Skottle Grill. I know generally speaking you get what you pay for and it is hard to replace genuine items, but I'm always open to trying things in order to stretch the almighty dollar. One setup I have seen is the following...
Well, that seems to be a mouthful but I wanted to make sure that it would show up in the search bar for the next guy looking for an inexpensive way to mount your spare tire to your hitch. When I started this endeavor I had looked and looked for a quality hitch mount spare tire holder that...
