Just put them there for the pic, they’ll be in a dry place.

Thanks Pete, just got mine.

Welcome to CC, post its VIN in the registry section for info on it.

February 2023 update, see first post. 19 new additions this month for a total of 2073.

Welcome @Steven Harden, you got yourself a nice truck.

Looks like it will interfere with the spare tire winch handle hole if that matters to you.

I fill them to the top and use the 2.5L overflow tanks.

I’ve had Mac tanks on all three of my MJs with all stock heater tube plumbing for over 15 years and do not go through radiators.

There are 13 in the registry (including this one), only 6 posted by members the other 7 by eaglescout526 from the Chrysler database.

Is your water pump weeping and the coolant is running down and towards the trans? What year? Open or closed system?

Will you ever finish one of them?

Open system

MeanLemons used to make them and sold his stuff. This is from his last post: ”This gig has been sold to Trevor of SkankFoot Racing. if anybody need throttle bodies. You can contact him at Trevor.skankfootracing@gmail.com he also have Instagram; skankfoot_racing.”

VIN only has 16 digits, should be 1J7FJ66S0NL193515

Got the WilderNest mounted to the trailer yesterday. Since it’s ~3” shorter than the bed there’s a stainless steel L-shaped filler piece at the front but it flexes and I don’t think it will make a good seal so I added a piece of 2” angle iron on the inside to sandwich the filler to the shell. Drilled a few holes through the angle iron as cargo tie down points.

You know what would look fantastic? And they’re all the same size.

A couple tips if anyone is doing this: -It’s very difficult to put the bulb seal in if the hinges are in place. -Wet the area of the tent that gets screwed down so it will stretch easily.

The tent (8-ounce nylon pack-cloth) has a waterproof polyurethane coating on the inside that appears intact except for a couple places on the vertical ends. I want to get it back on the trailer before next week’s rains and will test it for water leakage, then go from there.

Just finished final assembly, next is putting it on the trailer with the new seal. I’ll post more pictures when that happens, hopefully Sunday but here’s a couple.

^^^ Great looking truck!

What’s AJ?

The tent supports are basically 1” ID zinc plated steel pipes connected with copper elbows. The ends that pivot to raise them were collapsed by over tightened hardware so I expanded them back out using some sockets. I then inserted 1” solid plastic rods for support which also made inserting the quick release pins easier not having to “hunt” for the hole on the other side.

Battery is replaceable and just carry a regular relay just in case.
