Another small update, i swear im gonna get some decent progress done one of these days, at least this post will have a little tech in it...
but first, got the camper set up and took it to SMORR Froze Over. all i can say is WAY better than tent camping, especially in the bitter cold
This is the trailer i started with
Finished up about 2 am the morning i was supposed to leave.
The outside is a little rough but the inside is in really good shape for 1971... Stove, over, fridge and heater all work!
Just the right size for a jeep on the back (lilnickt's xj)
Some wheelin pics

Me and the GF in my buddies "Spareokee", XJ we built one weekend out of spare parts for an extra rig while he puts tons under his TJ
and back to the MJ
Picked up some LED fog lights, 20 bucks, dont know where im gonna use em yet, but oh well... maxxima 6.5x4s
got some more plate for the frame, 90 ft of DOM to start the cage, 2x6 box and 1.5 spare for the boatsides
so the side stiffeners are a little more difficult to make templates for, obviously you can trace out the lines on cardboard, so i drew lines on the frame every two inches and measured the cross section
then i transferred that to the cardboard
cut it out and trimmed a couple small spots
the best part is this template works for the inner and outer frame rails, so i traced it on the steel and cut it out, cleaned em up and tacked em on
Got some friends from back home coming down at the end of the month to help rebuild the motor and get it set in place so should be quite a bit going on from now till then... as long as work cooperates...
Great journey! Looks like fun getaway. Nice build.
