These guys are our clients - they tested for 6 months or so and just ordered several RIPP Supercharger kits to convert clients and in house testers... great bunch of guys in Colorado... Defiantly worth stopping by and having a look.

WE ALMOST -- scored a converted rig for our booth in EJS 2011 - missed the opportunity by very little.

Holy crap! Very nice but a bit too expensive to me. $77,000 just for the camper, or $110,000 for the Jeep and Camper. Photos on their website look awesome, definitely a bit jealous!

the trailer was my winter project and the plan was to have the jeep lifted by may 24, and 35's all the way around. thats 7 wheels and tires, new bumpers and tire carrier, $$$$$$$$$$

well i just bought a new house, and the jeep has been put on hold for a bit, i still may have it done by then, but i need a new septic system, and thats 20,000 bucks

Hell, I don't think it looks stupid in the least!! I think it looks like a lot more than what I've got....which is just a ground tent. Your trailer turned out great. Be proud of it.

And post some pics of it deployed!!!

Some of the guys over at Expedition Portal have done some crazy things with those trailers. Check it out someday!

This is my T@B trailer:



I don't have the silver JKU anymore. I just bought a new black '11 Rubicon:



I haven't towed the trailer with the new Jeep yet, but I will, as the trailer weighs less than 1,400 lbs, so I am still within towing range with the new 2-dr. I would really like to have a Chaser trailer (or similar) to match my Rubicon, and my husband would like a larger travel trailer to tow behind his pickup. But we do a fair amount of tent camping as well, so for now we'll probably stick with the T@B trailer for a while.
