Very nice! It looks much more off road capable than your Cherokee! Looks like some Jeep mods might be in the future! :twisted:

Roof rack in progress:

Made from 1" 16ga square tube. It still needs some expanded metal and a paint job.

The pic quality isn't looking so hot, sorry.

Roof rack finished. The lexan for the slit windows is cut and sitting on the tongue rack.

Thanks,

James

Looks like a nice smoker... errr... camper.

What I mean is: is there going to be enough ventilation? (assuming there will be a floor in it eventually)

Is there a reason you're not putting in larger windows? I love the look of this thing. Im interested in building a metal framed TD myself, but I dont know if I want to use all metal, or use a combo of metal and wood. How much do you think it weighs?

I think with the roof hatch and two opening windows in the two doors there will be plenty of ventilation.

A roof vent fan which is common in some of the builds I've seen may be in order, depending on how it works out.

No other large windows were included as a part of the military look theme.

If you consider a lot of the classic teardrops only have the door windows, I have three extra.

They are approx. 4x19 and you can peek out of all of them.

Military theme....makes sense now. Do you have more photos of the edges of the doors and the door jams? And the galley door?

What no gun ports????

Reminds me of the War Wagon!

great build. I am truly envious. I wish I had enough saved up from this deployment cause I would buy it, but alas i spent too much on my F250... good luck with it!

Thanks!

I did sell the trailer unfinished and it's in Idaho now.

Hopefully I will have some finished pics from the new owner.
