ever since i got the luxury of more room by purchasing a jeep LJ, i have moved my spare inside. This is for several reasons including getting that weight (approx 100 pounds) more forward and lower and avoiding digging the spare into the ground on abrupt inclines, possibly damaging other things...

Rubicon Springs, had the entire campground to myself

Sorry, I responded to your question but with someone else's quote - dang technology!

The lift was there when I bought the LJ July 2017, but I believe it is around a 3", I added the wide flares to clear rubbing when flexed while turning, and I added Nth's rear spring relocators, which raised the backend a bit, made a nicer stance actually. Yes I have the Nth belly pan and oil...

No issues at all, did not hinder forward progress, if I got stuck I would have been stuck regardless if the trailer was there or not. Only thing to watch is backing up, which I had to do a few times, but knowing the trailer was there and reacting appropriately, no issues at all.

Recent journey thru the Rubicon

From my recent solo trip thru the Rubicon Trail. The trail pics are at Observation Point, and the camp pics are at Rubicon Springs where I had the entire campground to myself!

from my recently completed solo trip thru the Rubicon Trail

I purchase one that already had the 'rise' incorporated. Then I modified it so I could have the 'rise' change to a 'lowering' because I had a 2" receiver incorporated into a rollbar cross member across the top back corner of the roll cage. In the 'flipped' config it sits just above the spare...

I've had great luck with a 110v unit and inverter. The 110v unit runs at much lower rpms so in my mind will last longer (forever with my infrequent use to air up 35" tires). Got it from Harbor Freight but it has held up in the last 2 jeeps very well - 15 years or so.

Ah...folks, this is a great unit. Somebody needs to make an offer. I own an older one, and the only issue I have is answering questions about it from people I run into at gas stations, camp grounds, etc. It can also quite easily be painted to match your vehicle.

The ability to "jack knife to 90 degrees" is most important if you pull the trailer on some more difficult offroad tracks, and have to back up to, for instance, bend around a tight switch back corner. In many other uses, such as towing to a camp site and then hitting the trails without the...

Saw this and thought it was interesting. Anyone run one of these that can comment on actual usage / usefulness? Magellan Roadmate 6630T-LM (deleted the first link which was kind of a sales pitch - substituted the below link to a true review)...

looks like anything you can get into one of these formats will work with mapspro as an overlay layer .kml .kmz .gpx .csv .geojson .pdf

Next time I'm in mapspro I will look around to see if I can find an answer. Still new to the program yet

There's examples of the increased functionality with the 2 part strap with loops at the start of this thread for your pleasure

successfully running mapspro on an old dell venue 8 pro tablet on windows 10 (which supports usb GPS input). downloaded maps to card, bought a dell dongle that supports 2 things using the single micro usb port (external usb GPS antennae and charging). I use my phone as hotspot for online TBT...

well, an option yes, but I don't see the 'roller' part in their cam buckles. That's what we're talking about being required here for the higher performance

well, I don't think they listened to us actually. It appears that they added a loop on the loose end so you might get a better grip on it while pulling. It still is a 1 piece strap, not 2 separate pieces. Functionality is still limited to strapping down the same as the original method...
