Alot depends on your interest in modifying it. If you used the body on a more conventional expo-type frame I bet you'd lose some pounds and gain function. I really enjoy my short-bed utility-bed trailer. The price is atleast $500 higher than most as well. i got lucky and found a fiberglass one...
Drew, clever. I use 1or 2 blocks whilst in the field to balance out my landings. Plus blocks or even a lil plywood keeps the mud/dirt away from the lift mechanism. I'm on 31" TAs and thinking about 33s for next swap.

Time for Chris to mount up a GoPro and do some test runs. I really enjoy my van but the Q-suspension and my 50 yr old spine just don't get along. One or both need an upgrade.
