Yeah the pros make it look so easy and effortless. Lulls you into a false sense of "Oh I got this". Then you dont..haha.
We remodeled a double wide trailer at my old station and tore it down to studs. Of the whole trailer we only hung one full sheet. Everything else was cut.

It’s not difficult just time consuming. It’s like 10k sq ft of board total.

I don’t take a lot of pics of the van builds but if you’re looking for a front bumper, the Owl van Pismo bumper is a great upgrade. Easy to install. You can then add a warn vr winch in easily as well while installing.

F that but looks good
Assuming you're doing recessed lights? The canless lights are really nice the way they install. I just dont like how harsh the light is, even adjusting the intensity/temp on the tranformers. I keep looking for some that are more natural but not finding anything.

Thought of designing a wrap? I've seen some really badass designs over the past few years. Gotta admit, I've stopped at more than a few based on the designs. Lol, and avoided others based on stupid ones

After being stubborn for far too many years, I finally broke down and bought this harbor freight 220/440lb hoist. I am a fucking idiot for waiting so long. It’s a temporary install on my pergola, spanning three 2x8’s on end; plenty strong enough for my purposes. Pretty nice that I can easily put it up and take it down. Just need it for spring, summer and into fall.

I have a cart that holds the doors and hardtop thst a buddy made. This just makes it a hellova lot more convenient to take the top off the jeep and set it on the cart. Plus i can deal with raising/lowering my RTT a lot easier when needed.

Don't really want to do a full wrap but I plan on putting graphics on the side. I'm waiting until its finished though because I need the service window installed first.

Doubles as a deer/coyote hoist.

Yeah. Plus when mudding i used the stuff that took along time to dry so I had more time to work with it. Not to mention that shit is heavy...haha

Still on the fence about a front bumper. I've got the painted stock bumber with all the parking assist sensors in it. Kinda nice when maneuvering in tight spaces. I have looked at some of the recovery point options and may go that route.

Ran by work today and took a pic of the bumper installed earlier this week. The owl van pismo bumper lets you keep your parking sensors and the front radar detecter.
Installed this on a storyteller beast mode model. Waiting on a piece from owl van that they forgot for the radar sensor in the middle. Cutting of the bumper is needed but they give you an easy template to follow for your cut marks

Actually looks pretty good. Its all a tax write off so who knows...haha.

Hell yea. Very cool.
I’m not too proud to admit I have dropped a JKU hardtop before using one of those cheap Lange manual hoists.
Full disclosure, I bought the hardtop used off Craigslist and since then had cracked it hitting a tree, so I was pretty careless with it and didn’t have the hoist straps hooked up all the way.
Needless to say, if I ever buy a hoist for the JL, I will do something more legit like this.

Yeah recessed led canless. They have the temp settings so hopefully it works out. Where was that info two months ago?
