2014 JK Unlimited Rubicon X Build thread….. how did this happen?

Update 3/16/2015

Over the weekend, Mainline Overland in West Chester, PA installed my AT setup. It took almost 30 days to receive everythingfrom AT in Arizona. The tolerances on this setup are exact and a ton of measurements are needed, this is why I had the professionals take care of the install for me. I am impressed with everything and could not be happier........the drawer and combo slide are quality, and nothing rattles around. I still have to install the 5lb. propane bottle and I will also add the AT interior rack.

Excellent setup on your JKU. Impressed on the quality of gear you chose and the execution. Jeeps are great tools, but can be a challenge in the cargo department! The Manley is great as well. Trailers are definitely a game changer for Jeep based overlanding. Kudos to you!!
 
Your opening post was wonderful, very funny, informative and inspirational at the same time. Great build no doubt it's not done yet LOL.
Your wife's a Saint, take good care of her!
See you down the road/ditch/woods,

Thanks. I found this time around to do a lot more research, seems to work out better in the end. I love the trailer.....works perfectly for us (mostly me).:D

Thank you sir. I am getting ready for my trip To Expo West and she is tired of amazon deliveries everyday! I installed the rear bumper today and my 2 gallon rotopax. Also added a Rhino rack awning for the trailer.

I really like your rig man, nice setup. Well thought out and executed. My JKU serves daily duty (gotta haul those groceries) so loading the cargo bay with such goodies isn't an option for me. Hoping to cram that stuff into an OR trailer.
