Great looking build! You did a very clean and neat job on the wiring.

Looking good there man. Everything is coming together nicely. You will end up with a great td.

I appreciate all the support!

Here is the interior cabinet.

Then something tried to move into it.

I guess it has been load tested! :lol:

Looking awsome, I really like your cabinets, May steal your design

Looks good. Maybe we can have a get together with all the Jeep/Teardroppers after you finish. Seems like there are several on the board. Keep up the good work.

Your more than welcome to!

They were super easy to build. The front part is actually a face,glued and screwed to the cabinet frame from behind (like when they put new faces and doors on your home cabinets). I just used 4x1 pine and butted the pieces together and pocket screwed them. The doors are the same way, rounded off the corners. Then I routed a little round on everything and a dado type cut in the back for a scrap piece of luan for the center of the door.

I was going to miter and fit all the corners, but decided to KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) which probably saved me a world of headaches!

It's hard to see from the pictures, but there is an open space over the top of the cabinets that is the width of the trailer. I left a little lip to keep things from falling off, I think it will be a good spot to stuff extra blankets and pillows.

Haha, noticed that huh?

That is another work in progress! 1946 CJ2A. It belongs to the little kid that was stuffed into the cabinet a few posts up. She is 10 and somehow bilked me out of my flattie. It's name is Clank. We rebuilt the axles, brake system, welded in a frame for seats, new carb, etc. It runs and drives pretty good now, considering it is the original, never opened up, flathead four cylinder motor.

here it is at the drive in restaurant.

here is the kid spray-bombing the inside.. :lol:

How many 10 year old girls can do brakes on a 46 Willys??

Here I am driving it, I don't look too happy though. :roll:
