Is your jeep lifted? Mine is lifted three inches and has 33 inch mudders on it. I am wondering how much of a drop ill need for the ball and hitch

Hey, wow! Nice profile you got going! Funny how that urge to put the sides up works. :lol: Most do it. I tried to take a nap in mine that way. ;)

Lookin' good Jeepr... You are going to like the headroom with those walls. I made mine 54" and after frame overlap and ceiling framing I have 48" inside. Hope the 4" mattress doesn't make too much difference. :thinking:

I was thinking the extra headroom would be nice. Plus I built my "basement" sturdy enough to stand in, so I could potentially have an additional 9" of headroom. My wife and daughter should be able to stand up inside.

Jeepr92 My Jeep has a 4" lift and 33" tires. I haven't figured out my drop yet. My longest one is about 1.5 - 2" too short.

I got the front closet area finished. I also have a start on the galley, I just don't have the pics yet. I have most of the spars in and the roof vent hole framed.

I plan on putting doors on the bottom openings and leaving the upper three cubby holes open.
