The camper started about 5 years ago. It has been a great purchase, rebuilt a lot of it about 2 years ago.

The newest project is to make it level behind the Rover without a drop hitch and also make it able to do a few of the 4x4 trails I enjoy.

So far I have:
32" Truxus tires
Rover rear axle (WOO HOO Spare parts in tow)
Land Rover Discovery rims
Springs from an FJ 60(Thanks Man Jerk, I'll be there tonight)

Oh hold: (Hope to be getting)
Truck steps ( so we can get in..lol)
New tounge Jack

Must Do:
Build a new roof
repair lifting mech.


Here are the pics of the process thus far

Old axle (most likely become a utility trailer)

Here are a couple pics of difference, the gain with just axle/tire is 10" thuse far, I am going to do a spring under which will hopefully put me where I want to be!
