I was where you are now, sourcing a sc to aid my LJ on the highway, also pulling a small camping trailer. Then my mind was changed (enlightened) to 'correcting' my gears. Biggest issue to overcome was that my 6 cyl 4.0 liter does not mind 2800 rpm give or take to maintain highway speeds (trailer...
your jeep doesn't seem to have any sag in the back with the trailer connected. Can I ask if you have any 'help' to keep that level, like air bags, heavy duty springs, ?
This is my latest storage scheme, and is a work in progress. The straps you see in the pics are holding things together until a few special fasteners arrive from 8020.net.
I really like the wolf boxes, so they remain a part of this scheme, as does the inside storage of the spare tire. But I...
Then I pulled all the rack material out, placed the spare tire inside, and changed over to Wolf boxes. By lining up 3 wolf boxes behind the folded forward passenger seat, and placing a few bags on the floor behind that seat so the surface was the same height as the wolf boxes, I could place an...
iteration 3 made use of the inside portion of iteration 2, but removed the raised hitch rack and the extended sleeping surface. In addition, using material I already had, I made the interior portion longer from front to back because I had sold the TJ and purchased an LJ! The pics don't show...
So on to the 2nd iteration. This time I devised a method to extend the rack to the back, for sleeping purposes. It too worked fairly well. However, during the 1st outing, I discovered I had become claustrophobic and could not sleep in the bivy tent any more!!! It was built using 8020...
I am on the 3rd (or maybe 5th!) iteration of storage schemes, partly because of changing needs and/or vehicle, and partly because along the way I've learned more about what works for me, and what doesn't.
With my first rack (on a TJ), I desperately wanted to have a better scheme to carry...
It's nice to have the tongue long enuf so you can back up and tuck your vehicle backside close in to 'jack knifing' to get around those tight trail corners.
on the shelves, that's a funny story, and probably one of the best mods I've done without realizing it. Late last fall I was packing for a solo run thru the rubicon (from Galveston!) and noticed that I could make a rather nice increase in storage 'neatness' and 'secure-ness' if the tops of the...
nice, looks even easier than I thought. Where would you incorporate a pressure guage into that, and a deflate button? AND...….what size fittings - 1/4"? 3/8"?
I won't be home for a few days, but here's a pic where you can see what I used. I just placed the 2 units next to each other which is why you see 2 straps over the tire, bolted thru the floor, Made a cut in the carpet, tucked it underneath in case I ever 'undo' this I won't have a hole in the...
This is my implementation - solid as a rock, relatively easy to move in / out, not in way of my vision at all, leaves lots of long usable space beside it and a good amount of space behind it for other things. Cover from Smittybilt, tie-down system from cabelas (originally for a side by side or...
My experience - I went with a 110V unit running off an inverter (1200 watt I think). It spins much slower than the 12V units I have used / seen. So maybe it will last longer, have to wait and see - it's only been 15 years to date (insert smiley face).
Does a great job on my 35's going from...
I am thankful for the feedback, especially from those who cite their actual experiences. For the minority, those who have not touched or witnessed the Indeflate device in action, but nonetheless passed on their opinion about whether this is needed or not, or about its quality or functionality...
