OK, here we go...

This Toter is for the sole purpose of moving a jeep around to wheeling events and venues and allowing me to sleep in AC on a real bed! I am no going cross country or living in her full time. The Jeep is an '04 TJ on 3/4 ton axles... on 35s. The idea is to keep this on a budget of under $8K.

The starting point:

1989 International Harvester S1654LP with a 7.3, 5 spd and 217K on the clock. ($3000) purchase and reg/Tag (remanned motor aprox 30K on it)

Ditch the bench seat in the cab for used air ride seats cut a pass thru.($100 seats used $100 to recover and $65 accordian gasket)

set a ramps #5000 each ($500)
