fiatslug87 Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 Back representing CC, a little stealthy but I like It! Decided to not tint since the screen panel is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted September 6, 2023 Author Share Posted September 6, 2023 Just a little tool arrangement today with a couple Quick Fists. As I said before, a place for everything and everything in its place. It’s a 1967 AMES US military folding shovel/pick combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted September 18, 2023 Author Share Posted September 18, 2023 Finally installed the stainless latches, it was a pain in the a$$. I used stainless rivets for the lower brackets but there wasn’t enough room to get my riveter to work properly with the upper ones. I ended up using stainless allen head screws and washers/nylock nuts after countersinking the inside. Before: After: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 The WilderNest has this graphic on the left side I though I would pay homage to @neohic and where the stainless steel tubing for the trailer came from so I added this to the right side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 Added AMC rear splash guards using @boxyjeep’s stainless brackets that I painted black, perfect fit. I also added the ghost metal camo Jeep lettering. Now it matches the ‘88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted November 30, 2023 Author Share Posted November 30, 2023 Today is the Happy Camper’s one year anniversary of being here in California, it’s been a great year! Today I removed the propane storage box shelves so I could add a fire extinguisher and have enough room for the dual propane valves/hoses and the sink brackets. I also made a liner for the bottom from a piece of the other half of the bed mat that’s in the camper. Before (Ben’s pic): After: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the first is where it came from (Ben’s place) and the second is where it lives (my place), thought it best not to post those exact locations.

fiatslug87 Posted July 7, 2024 Author Share Posted July 7, 2024 What do you do with an extra NOS chrome MJ bumper (thanks G)? Put it on the MJ trailer of course!!! Also added a step bumper receiver in case I ever want to haul a basket. I made a couple of brackets out of 1/4" steel plate and attached them to the brackets on the trailer and the bumper. Outside view: Inside view: The trailer brackets are 42" apart while the bumper attachment points are 45" apart, so I used 1 1/4" zinc plated perforated square tube spacers on each side making up the 3" disparity (two 1 1/4" spacers and two 1/4" brackets = 3"), there's actually another spacer behind the one in the picture below for the lower rear bolt (it’s poking out in the above pic). It was fun doing this in 105°+ weather the last three days. Now back to the third brake light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
