    DJ's Custom Truck Camper

    We took the truck up to our favorite spot on the Kern river for one last trip before we give birth. We went during the week to avoid all of the people that are finding out about this spot. Unfortunately too many people on YouTube blew this place up and now it's a complete waste of time. By the...

    Thanks! I was told the entire camper only weighs 800lb dry. I would love to weigh the truck when I get done with it.

    California List of SoCal members who like to go off-roading

    Thank you for this! We had no idea. We definitely don't want to be stuck in that so we decided we'll be going up there tomorrow instead. Feel free to join if interested.

    My dad and I will be in Big Bear this Saturday if anyone wants to join. We're going to hit John Bull at around 10am then follow that with Holcomb Creek. We expect traffic at both but hopefully not too much to hold us up. We're easy going but like to move at a steady pace. If this sounds like...

    DJ's Custom Truck Camper

    Yes big update! This build took a big turn because I have some news, which is a big reason why I wanted to build this in the first place.. I have a baby on the way!!! We're having a boy! He's actually due in a couple of months which made me realize pretty quickly that I have ZERO time to work...

    Nice! The PO had 40s on the truck at the time too. I helped him take the camper off when I bought it from him it was definitely a pain in the ass.

    DJ's Custom Truck Camper

    Progress has been a lot slower than I would've liked because this thing is so big that it's hard to work around in the garage. Seems like the only productive time I can work on it is on weekends when I can pull the jeep out to give me room. A shop is sounding real good right now. Because of...

    DJ's Custom Truck Camper

    I'm super excited to announce a new project I just started. I'm building a truck camper from scratch and I'll be posting the whole process on here. I'll keep this thread very picture and detail heavy like my TJ build thread: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/djs-tj-low-and-slow.75731/ I have...

    More KOH prep I thought my makeshift hammers flag shade top was a cool idea but since there wasn't anything solid above it it would just flap in the wind. So this was something I've been wanting to do for a few months. I picked up a sheet of 14g 5052 aluminum to use as a roof panel. This is...

    What size ram are you using? 1.5"? I also have the ~4 turn box. The fast ratio wasn't in stock at the time but it honestly feels great on the rocks. Also plan on driving on some street so I feel like it'll work well. Other than your PSC pump I think we have the same steering components. Have...

    It's that time of the year! It's time for KOH!!! As you guys saw from one of my previous posts I went to King of the Hammers last year for my first time and had an absolute blast. The jeep wasn't done at the time so I wasn't able to take it. This year I'm taking my jeep and I'm STOKED. It's...

    DJ's TJ: Low and Slow

    We both got our certificates from a small community college called Cerritos College in southern California. It's known nationally to have one of the best welding programs. I got certified in GTAW (aluminum), really just for fun after I finished high school. My brother took classes for SMAW and...
