WY/Moab/SW UT/Sedona ‘22 - and Off Road Camper Build ‘23, and EJS 23

[blnewt]

Pain Train has been waiting on parts for many moons. Cage might actually ship next week. Down to 2 plates that tie the A-Frame to the cage. My front bumper is coming with the cage on the same pallet, so I'm excited for that, as well. Other than that, the next step is the body shop on Dec 1st. After the body shop and the cage, then things can start coming together. I need to save some more money to keep things moving, as well, so between waiting on parts and cash; I'll get there eventually.

I pulled its sad self out of the garage to clean and organize a bit.

Damn, that is one bad to the bone build! That and @mtnbiker73 stretch builds are the kings of the killer JL/JT dreams. And sorry Matt, carry on kind sir!

Lol, I say we all meet up on a spring trip and turn @mgroeger ’s yard into a trailer park.

Mock up approved (will be a foot longer with a departure angle rear cut). Time for a $1k steel order for the frame.

Sorry for my ignorance, what mock up is that? I assume the pain train rear body section???

Something like this end product.

I wouldn’t screw with it if there wasn’t a 9 month wait, and crazy mark up. I’m thinking under $15k for a high end build and these things are running $50k!!

Bruh, you are going to be so cold in a cardboard camper.

Haha. I figured I’d just pipe off your house and be plenty warm.

Parts are stacking up. Three sets of 37 KO2s and racelines arrived today at Discount (new will go on the Jeep, tortured will go on the trailer). Frame steel gets delivered Monday.

Hopefully the HOA doesn’t pop me for parking the golf cart covered in the driveway.

Lol, I’m a solid $4k in already. The full suspension setup with brakes/hubs for 5x5 was $1500! Of course not counting new tools.

Frame fab begins.
