I got a thing today!! The only part of it I’m going to use is the bed. Going to pick up steel for a new sub frame and order a new axel, that matches the Jeep lug pattern. Off grid camping is about to get a little better.

Did the rear breaks on the Jeep today. The e-break shoes are a bit of a pain!
Also washed the pretend Jeep.

Got out into the mountains last weekend. Camped at snag lake and wheeled through gold valley. It was a great time.

Thanks guys!!
It’s been great so far. still doing little tweaks to it, to get it dialed in. It handed well in light to moderate rocks.
I cant remember... Did you weigh it, I'm curious how mine compares mine ended up at about 1200 pounds with the tent, annex room, and batteries included.

I didn’t weigh it empty but it’s right in the 1200lbs range loaded. But that will fluctuate with different amounts of water/firewood. Probably would be closer to 1300lbs for longer trips.
What weight Timbern suspension did you go with? I have the 2K aeons in mine now and am having issues with it completely sagging out. To the point of almost bottoming out. I pulled the spare tire and swing out off to see if that helps. That was about two hundred pounds I didn’t originally account for and wasn’t on when weighed.

I did the 1 tonne HD's... SoI think that is 2200 Lbs. Im pretty sure I'm already taxing it without too much additional load . Tires were bottoming into the fenders with only the fridge, 1200 watt geny, 5 gallons fuel, and a pelican case with my little gas grill a few pots, pans and propane bottles.
