Later I forgot the name of your channel...I've been looking for it ever since, even asking other jeep utubers if they knew the one they built the three modular box units, to no avail. I got on @ saw in mix flip site ( overland expo 2019 10th anniversary sneak peak ) he was filming & from a distance I saw the back of your jeep with two exposed boxes...I took magnifying glass & saw your utube name!!!! I am delighted!!! Thank you for the most wonderful jeep build I've ever seen!!! Believe me , in trying to find your site again I've checked thousands & yours is hands down the very best!!! Safe travels !!!!
