RE customer service, my experience has been excellent, both directly from GZ as well as Blue Kangaroos (they are sellers of GZ, check Ebay). Also, just bought a Yeti on DVOR.com The price was good, and the kicker is that they only charge 9.99 to ship. That damn thing is a heavy beast. Now to...

Yes I still have them.

I would recommend that you just check several times a day and set your alerts so that you'll know asap when anyone is trying to sell an AT Horizon/Chaser. They don't usually last very long. Good luck. You'll love it.

Hey DJ, I'm going to keep the tires and put them on a Tacoma this fall. Thanks for inquiring.

Blue Kangaroos is who I bought my set up from. They usually give an even better deqal if you call and speak with them. http://www.bluekangaroos.com/Solar-Power_c_65.html

Hey Desert Rat! I am loving this trailer. Changed a few things to match my Jeep. Have been on 6 or 7 trips with it already, and cannot wait until hunting season. I agree with you, I got a great deal on a great trailer! ANd BTW, some of this stuff is still FOR SALE:-)

A good brake controller will mitigate this. Brakes on the trailer is a great safety addition.

Interesting read. http://www.survivalblog.com/2012/07/the-bug-out-trailer-by-allen-a.html How many of you consider this possibility with your off road/expo trailer? I know I do.

Love that there's always that "mayhem" guy that's able to "recalculate" and set you on a new and beautiful path. Good luck, and keep us posted!!!

Thanks! I've thought about this, and will gladly adjust as I see how it's pulling. I'm planning on Pearl Pass, which really shouldn't be too bad for the most part. And I have an on board compressor if I overshoot and deflate too far.

Sounds great. I can easily see how you could forget the trailer is back there. Even with the weak engine in my JK, it has been almost unnoticeable having the Chaser behind me. Thanks for the words of advice. I will heed them!!!

Thanks Martyn! Of course, my hope/plan is to avoid a roll over (less weight on the thule rack), not to have to roll the trailer upright, so with any luck I'll be "staying out of trouble" rather than "getting out of trouble". I could also use the swing out tire holder I suppose. That things is...

Just curious how y'all do this. I have an RTT on a Thule rack (3 bars), but am concerned about using the rack footings to hold the weight of the trailer if it starts to teeter. Or is the Thule strong enough to tie onto?

Transmission overheating Awesome report! I had a similar "transmission overheating" issue with my Rubicon last summer on Taylor Pass. Contacted a local Jeep dealership and spoke with their service dept. They recommended running in 4 Low because the gearing takes a lot of the work load off...
