What have you done to your JK this week? 2.5M Views

First time I've had something to add to this thread for ages.
The JK's not had much done to it for the last 18 months since our daughter arrived.

Picking up our camper trailer on Thursday though so fitted up the brake controller and the airbags over the last couple of weeks. Looking forward to getting back to doing some camping again as we've not done any for the last couple of years.
Might even get out and do some 4WD'ing as well if I'm lucky!

Got to play with the electric hard top hoist I made and swapped the soft top over to hard top for the winter.

First time refitting since the hoist was built. Wow that made a difference!

Rear Mal, I'll put a selectable in the front when the budget allows.

I'm so jealous! My wife is such a girl it's a real hassle changing tops because she struggles to lift the hard top no matter how much I tell her to harden up.

I'm thinking of buying a boat winch and setting it up in the garage as I have a concrete ceiling.

Not so much what I did to the JK, more what I hope doing be doing more of with the JK from now on.

Picked up the camper today.



It's a Cub Supamatic Escape LE with the off road pack and a few other bits and pieces added......OK quite a few other bits and pieces.
Stoked with it. Been over it top to bottom with the guys when i picked it up and it looks great.
Set up and pack down will no doubt take a while for the first few attempts but should be nice and quick once we get the hang of it.
Dropped it on the back of the JK and the rear only dropped 10mm, and at that height the camper sits perfectly level. Couldn't be better.
The tailgate opens fully (misses the stone guard by about 1mm!) so that's a bonus.
Didn't bother to inflate the airbags for the trip home just to see how it went and it towed really well. I didn't feel the rear suspension bouncing too much at all. Obviously that's with an empty camper and an empty JK though so I expect the airbags will be needed when it's all packed up.
Towed home (about 60km) without any issues. I won't say I didn't notice the camper was there but it wasn't as power sapping as I expected considering it weights about a tonne. You need to give it a bit on steeper hills and you can feel the camper pushing you down steeper hills but other than that all was good.
Even managed to reverse it into the garage first time which amazed me as I've never towed anything before in my life before.
Now just got to get into it, get the canvas seasoned and work out what goes where and then get some trips planned.
