I currently have a Cherokee which is getting a bit worn, and I have been reading up here about the astro and safari vans and I am intrigued. I have a couple of questions, since the areas I like to camp are often on unmaintained roads, is the AWD system reliable. I did look at the overland vans...

Ok, I am in a local Jeep club based in Winnipeg Manitoba up in Canada. To give some of you perspective Winnipeg is about 30 miles from the geographical center of North America, or also 90 miles north of Grand Forks North Dakota. Any way once a year for the last 3 years we go on a 4 day camping...

Hers a couple pictures of my off road capable trailer. It originally had a narrow 2000lb axle with the wheels enclosed by the trailer body.

I bought this trailer from a guy a couple of blocks over from my place so I could pack a bit more gear for our may long weekend run. It currently has a samuri rear axle and the frame is very light duty. So today I bought a 2000 lb trailer axle with new leaf springs and then went to the surplus...

Here,s a picture of my jeep I am getting set up for off road camping and the first outing in it earlier this winter.

pardon my ignorance but I am looking for info on air springs like the ones AT sells. Do you still use leaf springs? making the firestone air bags basically shock absorbers? Or could you fab up a link system to locate the axle using the air bag as a sort of coil spring replacement? The reason...
