    Karavan Utility Trailer VS Northern Tool 5x8?

    I bought the 6'x10' version five or six years ago when Sam's Club was selling then for $1200-1300. You'll notice Karavan lists both of them with a GVWR of 2990lbs. The general concensus was that they did that to make registration easier and that they actually have 3500lb axles. I hav ebeen...

    WTS Dinoot Extended kit $900

    I have a Dinoot J series Extnded tub kit to sell for $900 here in Texas. This kit was ordered in white UV gelcoat with solid walls on both ends, no tailgate opening. This kit is $1250 plus shipping from Compact Camping Concepts and I don't know if you can even get the white gelcoat anymore.

    How important is having a clean title on m416's?

    Yeah, who cares about that silly little law about falsifying a government document.

    Is anyone running 16" or 17" Alloy wheels and skinny 33's?

    I ended up getting a set of JK Rubicon take-off 255/75-17 BFG MT and put them on Mamba 17x8" rims to put on my LJ. I had the same tires on my 97 4Runner mounted on 17x7.5" FJ Cruiser rims.

    WTS 2009 Jumping Jack camping/toy hauler/utility trailer w/every accessory $4500

    This is a 2009 Jumping Jack tent trailer/toy hauler/utility trailer made in Utah by the original designer/manufacturer. I bought it new from the dealer in April 2011. This is not one of the Lifetime/Costco bolt-together kit trailers or even related to Lifetime Manufacturing. Retail on the...

    Trailer conversion/build advise needed

    I have a 6'x10' enclosed Pace trailer that I was rolled. It broke one hub off the axle and crushed in one back corner and kinda pushed the whole box out of whack. I have been thinking of skinning it to build an offroad trailer and inboarding the wheels while I am at it to narrow the overall...

    I ran 33x9.50R15 on my 97 TJ and I am thinking about 265/70R17 for my 05 LJ on close to stock backspacing.

    What is going on with Jeep prices?

    Bodo, I guess I'm not clear on what your train of thought is. Do you think a 2005 LJ isn't worth $15K or more reatil, or something different from what I am reading into it? The $15K trade-in value is straight out of NADA. 2005 Jeep WRANGLER-6 Cyl.-6 Spd.-4WD Utility 2D Unlimited 4WD Pricing...

    What is going on with Jeep prices?

    You're off by a little bit on your idea of the prices when new. My 2005 LJ would have stickered at close to $27K new and I could sell it for $16K with 43K miles on it. Last month a dealer offered me $15K trade-in on it with just a soft-top.

    Hub centric axle question

    If you haven't already gotten the 5200lb axle you can get a standard 3500lb axle and substitute brake backing plates and these drums: http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hubs-and-Drums/Dexter/84656uc3.html or just order a 3500lb axle with 6x5.5" brakes specified.

    Offroad trailers.... brake it or break it?

    I ordered the parts to convert my hubs to electric brakes. It's cheap insurance to me if I'm just pulling the 1500lb trailer with a little bit of stuff but if I load a 1200lb side-by-side or a 1500lb pair of 4-wheelers on top it they are a must have.

    Hub centric axle question

    Was the 5200lb axle needed for capacity or just selected for the 6x5.5" bolt pattern? You can get Dexter 10"x2.25" drums in the 6x5.5" pattern for a 3500lb axle.
