    SOLD - Cargo Box w/ Fridge Slide-Out, $100, DFW

    might be interested (I'm in McKinney), but the width of my Jeep LJ is closer to 35" max if I remember. Would it be much to slim it down somehow? maybe take it off the enclosed box outer wall might be easiest

    Swivel Hoist Rings

    they swivel 360 deg so side pulls are not 'feasible' actually because the hoop will swivel toward the pulling force negating any side forces on the hoop itself.. However, having said that, there should be some specs available on capabilities at different angles of the main hoop

    265/75r16 to 285/75r16 on a 3.21 JKU

    using the size numbers, this figures out to less than a 4% difference. Assuming the actual rolling diameters of each tire is proportionally equivalent, you can expect less than a 4% decrease in performance from the larger size. I doubt you will be able to 'feel' this small change. However...

    Offroad Trailer really worth it?

    I guess your post didn't say to what you were comparing the teardrop. Are you considering it against another style of trailer, or a rooftop tent, or ground tent, or hotel? Do you camp already? If so, is it tent or camper? Might play into the decision. For me, I very much like a small...

    Best Suspension for Off Road Boat Trailer?

    So the challenge is tuning the suspension based on the carried load, which of course varies significantly. I have experience with airbags on a trailer I built to haul my jeep. The carried load varied from 5300 lbs (loaded jeep plus trailer weight) to 800 lbs (trailer weight only). The air...

    Tongue strength on off-road trailer

    yes, one of the many things I liked about the design. In your travels, have you had the need to repair any hub or wheel bearing issues? I think carrying a spare might be wise and will most likely give a call to george for his repair kit he sells.

    Tongue strength on off-road trailer

    Louisd75 thanks, I need to spend a little time on that page - looks to be very helpful as well as be based on tried and true experience. I have a degree in structural engineering from about a hundred years ago, so this will probably be like deja vu all over again
