Builds Trapper50's Build Thread - 99 UZJ100 "Penny" (1 Viewer)

It's really nice to have 95% of a ROOFNEST for 50% the cost. It's held up real well and it deploys and closes really quick and easily.
The only tough part is getting the awning rods off without the rod straightening upon release and hitting the truck.
If the trucks paint was in perfect condition, I'd be pissed about scratching it but the way it is, it's no biggie.
Between the RTT and the Gazelle T3X, camp is set up really quick. It'll close with SOME extra bedding in there
but not a lot. We ended up just latching the hook of the hatches but not completely closing them a couple times
but they never came loose.

After doing Fins & Things, I've found that I trust the truck's durability even more than I already did. The armor is doing it's job
and the hits it took were jarring to say the least. But it's back home no worse for wear. I wish I had external video of what
Penny handled, it was impressive for an IFS rig.

I am glad you are having fun. Most ppl don't want to hear this, but a stock 100 will wheel at least at the same level as a stock 80, and out flex a stock 70 series. I have surprised some friends in built up jeeps with my rig in the past!

Coming out of the giant culvert is PRICELESS! That's awesome! You've reinvigorated my desire to install my snorkel!
