    Serious Question about getting a JKU

    The Sierra runs on Bilsteins, and 265/70/18 BFG KO. It has a WAAG brush guard and factory skid plates/running boards (z71 package). All skid plates, and running boards are scraped and gouged ... It has seen limited off roading. Let of its time has been spent on fire roads and snow. I just...

    Serious Question about getting a JKU

    I have a 2004 sierra crew (165k miles) and I am in the same boat as you. 3 kids (2 boosters and 1 car seat). I went so far as going to the dealer with the three car seats and trying to fit them in. It was a no go. If I go that route, I will wait till I only have one in a booster. Anthony

    Trailer tarps

    After dragging the lifetime trailer through 3800 miles of abuse, I decided I want a tarp for it. On the trip we used a heavy duty ground tarp that was folded up and bunjee corded to the trailer. Is there a place that sells a tarp, almost like a fitted sheet? If not, where do you all have...

    Lifetime Tent Trailer at Costco

    I am sure anything is possible but I do not know. Mine has never seen anything worse than a fire trail. My truck has driven a dry river bed. In short, I do not have the experience to answer your question. Anthony

    Lifetime Tent Trailer at Costco

    I bought the floor model 2 d gen from my local Costco for 1400 last summer. Great little trailer! I have used it more for hauling debris, rock and wood then camping in it. As for larger tires, took spacers,new rims/wheels and a 2 inch lift on the shackles. I went to a 205/75/15. It they...

    Jumping Jack Trailer......build?

    I looked at the JJ but settled on the Lifetime. Cost was my contributing factor. On mine, I swapped the axle and tires so that I could handle a heavier load. A cord of firewood was my target capacity. My rear stablizer jack was too short when I went with new tires, so I have two scissor...

    Axles, Tires Hubs and Highway speeds over long trips... I don't have a clue

    I don't have a Lowes trailer, but I have a lifetime trailer that originally came with 12 inch tires. Inchangwd the tires to a 15inch, made sure bearings were packed and that was it. Probably only has 7-800 miles behind it now, and have not had any issues with it. We have had it up to 70mph...

    Lifetime trailer @ costco

    I ended up putting spacers on it and am running 205's. The trailer is going under the knife soon (read when I order parts) and I am installing a #3500 axle under it. When I do that, I will get the axle a bit wider so I do not need to run spacers. Thanks! Anthony

    I have a second gen lifetime tent trailer. I acquired the floor model for $1400, assmbled. I changed tires out for a se of 15's and lifted the trail so they would not rub. i wanted a first gen or jumping jacl, but coat was a factor. For me, offroad will be fire trails at the most. It will...

    Lifetime trailer @ costco

    I just booing one of the new models from Costco. It was the floor model so I got it for $1400. Happy so far ... I found this site while researching the LTT/JJ trailers and even with the new model reviews, the price seemed okay. I do not like the tiny 12 inch rims. I see that you can put a...
