It will look like 2 tubs back to back with full hardtops. The "front tub" is currently just a pair of tub rails (where the hardtop sits) from the '78 I parted out. The pics above are the frame and tub of "Project Tetanus" - Jes' old project 40. We will have a tent that attaches to the back of it but the queen size air matress will fit inside the camper. We will be able to close up the trailer to get Amanda cool or warm quickly. I will have the 5000 btu window unit plumbed in one way or another. Sleeping off the ground will be nice too. It may look complete by the SCC, but I can guarantee it won't be water tight, so it will have a big silver tarp over it.
The tongue length is adjustable. The pics show the middle position. It can move in or out by 14". The front pin is tight, but not that hard to access. The black crossmember built into the tongue is actually Lenny's LX450's rear crossmember he cut out when he installed his new bumper. It fit really well and only needed a little modding.
The tires are dry rotted Buckshot mudders on 15x7 wagon wheels. I have a set of 4. The tires will be swapped to a set of 3 used 33x10.50x15 BFG ATs I bought from Cameron a couple years ago.
I have drivers and passengers side tire carriers. One will hold the spare and the other will hold the basket I built before Moab for 3 Scepter cans or a cooler. I have been collecting parts for this thing for at least 3 years. Other than a LOT of sheetmetal, all I still need are a set of '74 and up taillights and a pair of storage doors that need to be around 15" x 30". They will be in the lower portion of the front tub. I'm hoping to find some old tool box lids or even a utility box on the back of a pickup with lots of doors.
Any of you guys good with fiberglass?
Hopefully it will look a little like an FJ45 Troopie from the doors back.
