Well, I talked him down from the Dynatrac...we are just gonna beef up the Dana30 that's under there. It is substantially less expensive and will still allow some pretty intense wheeling. I tried to suggest that ARB's front and rear were a little overkill, but he wasn't having any of it. He...

Awesome, thats what I was thinking. I wanted to try and use the existing 12v hot wire in the trailer harness. So on my rig (Jeep ZJ), if I need to move 12v from the front to the back... 20' @ 90amps (for now) Looks like anything bigger than 6awg would give me less than a 1 volt drop. Can I...

A buddy of mine has gotten the bug. He currently has a 2009 JK (2-door) in Barbie Yellow (LOL) and has after a little prodding has ordered a 2012 JKU Sport in a much more manly Silver. We have spent the last several weeks building/designing the pen-ultimate JKU Expo rig. However, since I am...

Super Noob question, sorry. How does one get the right amount of juice from the alternator in the vehicle to an Aux battery in the trailer? I'm in the process of putting together a setup, but this simple question has me reaching out. Thanks

Thanks for the kudos. I would be willing to bet that it would be plenty strong in Aluminium. The trick is to mount it right. I am almost certain that I over engineered the mounting brackets. FWIW, the front bumper without the winch came in at 85lbs (3/16 majority w/ 1/4" winch plate) and the...

I do somewhere...I'll have to take a look around. Anything you're looking for in particular? I didn't have much of a plan...just started cutting cardboard, placing it then replacing it with 3/16"...

Attentively awaiting your return from Europe...

DWH, Just wondering where would the charging system fall in your schematic? I assume it would be attached to the starting battery, but just a little clarification, just want to make sure that my pea brain is looking at it right.

I am an USAA member also (AD CG). Could you PM me the promo code? Thanks...the sale is going on today and I wann get a FP430...

I built mine out of EMT...works like a champ...I will post up some pics in the morning... Be advised that you are going to be welding on galvanized pipe...not a huge deal, just have plenty of ventilation and grind away where you are gonna weld. My rack is the entire length and width of my Jeep...

I'm at that point in my build to cover up the bare metal of the frame. I would like to poll the masses as to what they used to cover thier frames with? I was thinking of a POR15 base and a rattle can top coat, but considering that I have un-rusted (sp?) virgin steel, I am thinking that may be...

I've been building my trailer from scratch using a Lincoln 135 and a recently purchased Miller Spectrum Xtreme 375 Plasma Cutter. I have found that the 135 is getting a bit small for what I plan on doing to my trailer and my Jeep but the PC is an absolutely amazing machine. Granted it is at...

LOVE the tailgate locks! Great looking little trailer.

So for my first post I figured I would help out the guys at Lock-n-Roll a little. I am sure all who have been in the market for a multiple axis hitch have run across the Lock-N-Roll website. To thier credit, L-N-R has redesigned thier product to fix the potential issue when backing down or...
