Here it is at Cleghorn Road in Cajon Pass on the day I bought it.
We'll see if I still like it in the morning :elkgrin:
Lightly Used, but was built in Oct 2009
Dexter axle, spring over, electric brakes, Rancho shocks
Tail gate, removeable
Camping Labs 8'x6' tent
Lid, hinged and removeable
15 gallon stainless steel water tank
Kyocera 65 Watt Solar panel on retractable slides, detachable for optimum placement
dual Optima blue tops in a lockable nose box with solar charge controller
1500 watt Xantrex inverter
Lock N Roll hitch
Powder coated paint almost everywhere
Leaf Springs with Poly bushings, Procomp front YJ springs with 2'' of lift
Integrated rear hitch receiver
Nice coiled 7-Pin electrical cable
Negatives (minor):
will dump the giant tires and 5 bolt drums for something similar to my 4Runner (complete)
wiring is in need of improving
lid and tailgate are not lockable
need a better solar charge controller
tailgate fits tight but could use thin rubber weatherstripping on the sides (complete)
needs some touch up in some areas of the paint
the built in nose stand is difficult to use if the thing is nose-heavy
right rear shock looks to have been "kissed" by the nearby spring (lowest leaf had rotated about 3/4", pounded it back)
need to buy a brake controller (Tekonsha Prodigy 2 installed in 4Runner)
By 2017 it will have undergone numerous improvements and accompanied me on many adventures across the Southwest United States
