    Trailer sits about 72 inches height, running 33 inch tires. The Smttybuilt RTT, with the ladder installed and cover adds about 14 more inches, so that puts it at about 86 inches total. My drive way is on an incline so the rear of the trailer tips up a couple more inches, so I think I would...

    That is a good question - I thought it would be tight for me since my lifted Jeep (rack scrapes the garage door) barely fits. Unfortunately the trailer is about 6 inches taller than that with the Smittybuilt RTT on it. I had to remove the RTT to finish my mods in my garage. I am planning on...

    Looking good! You are going to love the trailer - I'm finishing up the wiring and a few mods. Hope to test mine out for real in a couple of weeks.

    I am considering a couple of things. Firstly, I feel that my lock-n-roll hitch that is pin locked into the trailer will be somewhat of an obstacle for most thieves. Not that they couldn't break the lock there with a hammer and then use a normal coupler if they happen to have that. I am also...

    Got my trailer yesterday! Really nice, well worth the wait - the workmanship and attention to detail by Simon is top notch! Here's a few pictures, happy to answer any questions.

    I'm hoping to get my trailer any day now. I'll post pictures once I have it. In the meantime, I have done some re-wiring in my Jeep, running 4AWG wires from the battery to the rear, with an Anderson Connector. I've also run a few control wires in that bundle, and will use these to provide...

    Sure, here is the Amazon link for the vehicle side: Amazon Link PN501 Here is the link for the trailer side: Amazon Link PN 520 They were shipped from the manufacturer, took a couple of weeks. These are really nice and have been improved since the early models had some binding up issues or...

    I have the same Ridge Grapplers on my Jeep and don’t think those are needed on the trailer. I’m also looking at the Terra Grapplers but may just go with the Crosswinds that @cycleman4 posted a picture of in further back in this thread. Great price and good reviews. I’m getting the spare tire...

    I decided to go with the slightly longer trailer side lock and roll hitch just to give a little more clearance to the tailgate when the trailer is connected. I had asked Simon about this and he thought it was a good idea. This will provide about 8 inches more clearance, I don’t think this will...

    I use an adjustable receiver on the Jeep so I can move the hitch up and down as needed (I have a 3 inch lift). For the lock and roll hitch, I am using the extended length on the trailer side and the standard on the Jeep side. I ordered these from Amazon, and they came directly from the...

    I can post pictures of my RTT on a pallet, Whynter refrigerator, solar package, battery chargers, propane tank and mount, hot water heater, lock and roll hitch, lights, etc. I've got everything except the trailer but I think Simon is dealing with some supply issues under the current...

    I'm getting base trailer in black - Spare tire carrier - Raised RTT mount I plan to use my JK take-off wheels with new Nitto tires (probably Terra Grapplers since the Ridge Grapplers on my Jeep are overkill for the trailer) I'm going to do quite a few mods to the trailer, like 2 batteries...

    This looks like a great value! Question for you - Can this be optioned with a Lock N Roll hitch?
