Power supply is the Bluetti EB3A. Got it on sale a few years ago. Decent little unit, works great for short trips charging camera, phones and running a few lights on.

Thank You!

Thanks, Jeep build is just the cookie cutter wrangler lol. Had a few XJs and TJ in the past... wish I would have kept my last XJ!

Great job 👍

Thank you! The handles idea is a good one, it can be a bit heavy when full.

Thanks! It is kind of a mashup inspired by many others here on YT... was a fun build!

Buying this was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Bought a low mile one (50k), never off road with a well documented service history, was never off road... I took a chance lol. Have had nothing but problems, oil cooler failed, tailgate hinges, suspension completely sacked out and riding on bumpstops, door seals leak, hard to shut. Dash looks like it will fall off when on dirt roads, climate control panel went bad. Headlights flicker and don't always shut off. After replacing the oil cooler and seeing how cheaply made the engine components are I will probably sell it at a loss before a head gasket blows or transmission fails. Great little rig for trail riding, just don't trust it.

It’s a shame. They are awesome, but garbage at the same time. I leased a 2024 4XE because they are basically giving them away. Luckily I only have a two year lease.

At the moment yes. Working on a better solution that wont be a tripping hazard or get in the way, like a removable strap or something.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Definitely fun camping in the winter, less people and no bugs! I totally agree with the rain V snow.... much easier to stay warm and dry with cold snow than rain!

Thank you for the comment, really enjoy making these videos! Do you winter camp in yours also?

@ I took a trip this past summer from Pa to North & South Dakota and camped the whole time in the truck, and I’ve stayed in it in January and February a few times but I haven’t really winter camped with it YET!…

Coozment 3.2 gal, I was skeptical but really like it. found it on Amazon, amzn.to/4gp9GyI

Nice! Those Aliners look like a pretty good option, easy to tow! Hope your first trip is a success, solo can be stressful at first but the solitude is great to clear the mind. When we bought our first camp trailer we cheated and just camped in the yard the first night to make sure everything worked, the kids thought it was great ha ha ha.

Ha! Nice, we are pretty lucky. Lows generally only occasionally dip below single digits here. Most late winter temps are around 15-25f. Not a bad temp, cold enough to keep roads from bogging but not so cold its numbing to be in.

I generally just cold camp. I have used the Buddy heaters in the past but do not like them, had 2 of 3 fail, flame ups/regulator fails and once they get a little dust on the element they no longer burn clean, they also produce moisture while burning. I recently purchased a diesel heater and am trying it out for this season, dry heat and no flame up as the heater is outside. Honestly most of the time I am either hunting, fishing or some other activity where just getting up and moving out is priority and don't miss having heat.

Thank you!

That sounds like a great idea! Rear enclosure would be nice to keep the elements out.

Thank you, really enjoying it so far!

I think the plywood was close to 300, its pretty expensive but I did use mostly finished grade so that adds a little more cost. I had some of the other hardware and hinges from other projects, screws and misc. I did have to buy some deck seal and boiled linseed oil... I would say all in 4-450 ish. I can appreciate the limited space issue, my other rig at the moment is a 2 door wrangler, it definitely helps having good organization ha ha ha! Hope your WJ build goes well!

Thanks!
