I'm in concurrence on this as well, though I'm really behind on my Jeep project. I put off stuff I have to do because I didn't have my new transmission and then my transmission came in and I installed it and same issues as before, so I'm still down until I get a chance to get the Jeep back in...

I'm surprised Trudeau still let's you hunt moose. I figured you could only get mousse. Actually every truck I've ever bought had an 8ft bed, but I prefer 4 doors more than the 8 ft bed and if you're looking for anything under 3/4 ton I'm not sure you can get the added passenger capacity/4 doors...

A diesel truck really pulls our Jeeps with ease. My trailer is 2k lbs and my Jeep is probably a little over 4,500 lbs and I have no brakes and I can stop it really well. Also the engine really controls descent really well. I can creep down some really nasty inclines and not touch the brakes, but...

Oh you should see this trailer it's completely every bit of redneck as it comes. For a decade as I'd run down the road, the bed would fly apart and you had to be careful where you walked on it. The "winch" i've got is an incredibly slow and super cheap hand crank I got at HF and it's mounted so...

Here's an example of what NOT to get. I just read the post from MrBlaine from the forum a couple of years ago about this topic and I cracked up laughing because my current trailer is almost EVERYTHING he said to not get except for the walls and I lost brakes when loading up my ZJ and I'm glad I...

The MSRP on the one I'd like for a Diamond C is just under $11k. Maybe that can come down a bit. It appears pretty much exactly what I want. I only checked a Gatormade dealer that was local so far and that was for a smaller trailer and the winch accommodation for me is a big deal, but they...

I figured I'm in the $8k range if I'm going with a basic mass produced trailer. I really don't need much custom stuff besides a place to put my own tongue box/winch. I've got 2 trailers right now for a total of $500 so I'm due to spend some money. Granted I've put about $1,300 back into them...

I mostly see Gatormade and BigTex trailers around here in that size range. My use for one isn't incredibly heavy or frequent, but when I need it I pretty much need it and it used to be easy to get someone to move something for a couple hundred bucks, but I can hardly beg someone to get anything...

Not meaning to hijack, but do you all have any trailer brands to avoid? I'm needing to add an equipment trailer and been looking at 14k lb bumper pulled ones. I'm loving the canopy ideas btw. I've setup tents on trailers and stuff before, but never thought too much about some of these setups...

I was kinda hoping for a thread about your rough country kit and various Smittybilt parts, but it looks like a good list, especially with some of the other recommendations. At some point I'd grab a Currie anti-rock front sway bar if you want a good on-road/off-road adjustable blend sway bar. Of...

Well people have bought brand new vehicles and towed them to the US. It's a bit easier that way, but it's all kind of risky. In my locality I'd probably be fine, but I'm pretty sure if I'm caught driving something like that on the roads the DOT have been granted the authority to crush something...

I wonder what these processes are for collisions with injuries. If you modified your frame or something, I bet they can give you hell if they want. I'm guessing many areas will be cracking down on a lot of mods after awhile. I think new vehicles have to have every single piece of the vehicle...

Are those phone conversations recorded? Do you know the laws in your state for this kind of stuff? I know in some professions phone calls are made for bending the truth. I worked with a company before that when discussing anything financial they wouldn't agree to anything on paper/email and...

Yeah that's exactly the stuff I keep wondering if it's worth it or kind of a gimmick. I really want to go 6BT with my YJ, but I'm just not sure if it's realistic for my time constraints, lack of skills and budget and if it's going to be such a harsh ride at the end of the day that I don't like...

I've got a low mileage, but unfortunately rolled 95 YJ too that I'm planning for my next build and I want it VERY HEAVILY modified. Of course I'm going 1 ton because I want it to be a tow rig.
