It took about a week from the time i called till it was done.  Around $150 if i remember. Keep in mid i did have a bill of sale for my M101. So if you have one for the MJ the box came off of it might make it easyer. I'm gonna be going through the same thing for my S10 box camper here in a bit.

I have got a lot of work done over the last couple weeks.
I got the rest of the frame welded up. The axel came in and installed.


I used a piece of conduit to run the weir from front to the rear. I put a bumper on to make it all look right. 


Once I got the rubber on in I rolled it out to see what stands it has against the XJ. it is sitting a lot taller than I thought.
 

I POR15ed the frame. this stuff looks like powder coating once dried.


I handle so I can pick it up and move it around. I set it a little further back then you would think but now the handle clears the spare


I did find a tall jack. I am still going to build a foot for it so I don't have to crank so far up and down.
 

I used a receiver hitch so I can use a ball or a max access hitch.
 


Once the POR 15 was dry I got the box on and see how it looks altogether.



I still have to get the spare mount done, the spot where the jerry cans are going to mount and wire the lights.  I am almost there then the inspection and plate.
Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?

When wiring the lights, make sure they are first plugged in.

Words of wisdom ;)
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...
