I really liked the idea of a trailing arm/ air bag set up......in theory anyways. The more and more I looked into it was not a viable solution for me. Its more expensive to set up, onboard air is pretty much a necessity. More parts + more complex = more stuff to go wrong. In the end I am going...

I really like this thread! Ha ha where do I start with my last jeep............pretty much the whole thing! I got so tired of how it was set up I unloaded it for a mere $2000.......just 81,000 miles too:Wow1: [LIST] Going to long arms front and rear (it was way more fun to drive nearly...

I have seen the wagons painted so that they look like they are a "woody wagon". It kinda looks like they might have painted that one that way. I think its pretty cool looking actually!

I have been hearing that often as of late.......I know exactly what you mean I just sold my trail rig for that reason. Nice TJ and beautiful EB's! Welcome

Looks like a COE set up to drag mobile homes around. That think has a SHORT wheelbase. Being an older Detroit I would imagine it has a Screaming Demon two stroke! Sound cool and are getting more rare every year. But I wouldn't want to ride in cab with that loud of an engine.........regaurdless...

Running 33x12.50-15 Super Swamper LTB's on my trail beater: (hate them every single second they are on the pavement but they are really shine on the rocks and float great out in the snow) I also run some 31 inch Elderado HTR's on the DD Wrangler.......nothing special but they seem to be...

I know a few people who wheel XJ's and they refer to them as "diapers". Citing: "You wheel them till they are messed up, then ya change them":elkgrin: They are so cheap and plentiful you just swap your good parts over to the new one and then scrap them.

Cheap upgrade is to run the linkage off of a ZJ with a v8. The tubing is thicker. And at local self serve yards here in Utah they are $15-20. Plus you can keep your stock linkage for a trail spare.

I have seen rigs get a fair bit of bump steer when adding just a drop pitman arm or just a drop trackbar bracket. You want your trackbar and draglink to be roughly parallel. The less parallel they are the greater the bump steer you will get. My $.02

My honest opinion is not to waste your money on an adjustable regulator. I have one and I always leave it set at 150 psi. I thought it would be nice to have the ability to adjust but I have never used it in three years. The gauges can break if your not careful. Mine are broken and have been...

I would say 1 1/2" would be just fine. When I built utility trailers for a local company they ran about 1", they never rubbed but they were pavement pounding trailers. However if a tire blew out the flapping tire would often damage the thin cheap fenders we put on. One thing that comes to mind...

HMMWV=High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (Millitary Humvee)

I have one in my 2002 GC, when i was running the stock axles it worked just as advertized. (WJ's use the rear ABS sensors to pick up speed) If memory serves me right the longest part of the install was carefully cutting back the insulation on a large wiring harness to find the wire to splice...

Ha ha I like that quote! Why else would i be planning on running fiberglass springs on a trail trailer with a standard ball :sombrero: I will start a thread in a few weeks when i actually get going on my trailer...........i will stop cluttering up the OP's thread now

It has a very similar range of motion side to side. I don't really see myself dragging my trailer over terrain too nutty so i think this coupler can more than handle my needs. The bulldog couplers are around $70, so I see them as viable option for many trailers. With a bit of grinding to the...

And for sure add a reciever tube on the trailer. If you change your mind on what coupler/ tongue length to use its a simple change over.

I have been looking at a standard ball set up my self. I have had a pintle set up in the past and although it was bullet proof on washboard roads the rattling drove me nuts! And being a poor college student several of the "offroad hitches" are just too far out of reach. I played around with...

My friend runs them on his desert racing truck. The rubber is a rather hard compound. Rainy roads are pretty sketchy with these tires. They have super stiff sidewalls and are super expensive tires if you buy them new too! If memory serves me right buying a set of four 37's will cost you $550 A...

Iceland Offroad is local to Utah and I have seen their rig on local trails and they scraped and smashed the flares on some rocks and they held up better than the sheet metal around them. (I will see if I can find some pics) I was really impressed with the quality.

He doesn't have a build thread anywhere. But this is basically his build up....... RE 4.5" lift with full packs RE control arm drop brackets RE control arms RE trackbar 10"x2.5" FOA's up front (remote resi) 16"x2.0" FOA's out back (remote resi) Rear "bed cage" (shocks mount through the rear...
