My little home-made military style trailer has the same track width as my 46 Willys. So narrower with the TJ, and even more narrower than my JLU. Tub is 40" x 50". 99% of the time it has been pulled by my TJ when overlanding. Build thread if interested...

Good luck finding a TJ Dana 44 in a junkyard. I had a Dana 44 built with 33 spline alloy axles and a Detroit Softlocker. My TJ is a stick. It is perfectly doable on pavement, but you will notice it back there. I call it the "Detroit Shimmy" when it disengages and then reengages.

It depends on how much of a risk you're willing to take, and what the consequences of busting an axle in the middle of nowhere means to you. There's a reason they call them the "Turdy-five" axle. On my 98 TJ I just bit the bullet and had a Dana 44 built to my specs (33-spline alloy axles, 4.88...

Gronk. Look Like TacoTuesday1 Left Building. He Not Come Back With Link. No $200 - $250 Maxtrax. Sad.

Bob Wohler is the guy. https://discoveroffroading.com

Google still shows them at $329.00. For some reason you're not wanting to share this website with the rest of us. I'm still respectfully calling BS. Post the link to these heavily discounted Maxtrax in the USA ($200 - 250) and I will post an apology for doubting you (with emojis).

I've taken his class at least twice at the overland rallys. He is awesome. Driving me crazy I can't remember his name. I sent an email to the person who runs the overland rallies (it was Ray, but I don't know if he's still running them or not) to ask for his name (and website). And don't...

You got me there (y)- maybe I should have been more specific: TacoTuesday1 - show us a link for Maxtrax for sale in the United States for $200 - 250. TacoTuesday1 (profile says he's from AZ - I'm assuming AZ in the USA?) says (quote) "There are also large retailers that often have them for...

Still waiting for a link for those new $200-250 Maxtrax. Just one link will do please. You seem certain they're out there. I disagree. Please prove me wrong. If You Not Understand, It OK. We Wait. But It Be Long Wait. Because There Be None. You New Here. You Lot To Learn.

#4 for Quick Fists. I've got a shovel mounted on the back of my roof rack with them, and another pair of Quick Fists mounted on the side of the roof rack for an axe if I'm not taking the trailer (which has a larger shovel and axe mounted to it with Quick Fists).

Here you go - build one off a Harbor Freight type trailer frame. Here's a thread I started when I built mine. It is long, but it has everything in there you need to build what the OP was describing he wanted...

I made my point initially. Please review my original post linked below. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/traction-board-recommendations.238273/#post-3123783 What part of it did you not understand? Maxtrax are considered the gold standard, but not everyone can afford or needs the...

This oven has been popping up on my Facebook feeds lately. Thought I'd share it...

Max Trax are the gold standard for traction boards. But they're not cheap - I think they're up to $325/pair now (and I would want four of them, so $650 for two pair). If I was going to be out for months and months, they'd be my go-to. However, I'm not. I'm maybe a couple weeks in the summer...

Same trailer, new Jeep.
