    M100/M416 width opinions wanted

    Hello, I’d like your feedback on ideal width for both the tub/body of the trailer and the track width. How do these small narrow trailers tow behind wide late model Jeeps, full size rigs, Toyotas etc? Narrow body and narrow track width will work well in our local PNW tight trails but I’m...

    Dual battery maintainer with ‘smart’ isolator and daily driving.

    Hello, after much overthought the last year on how to set up a dual battery setup in my 09 JKU I stumbled across a fantastic deal on a pair of brand new Odyssey G34 PC1500s and a Genesis JK dual battery setup. For those that dislike this setup due to the price that is not a factor here to say...

    M101A3 modifications

    Hello, I’ve been using my M101a3 for a couple years now in ‘original’ format. I have been very impressed with how it has worked despite its weight and size. I use this trailer being towed by my ‘09 JKU for a variety of utility tasks, from picking up rock, dirt, gravel and other yard materials...

    Wheel adapters

    I am having a hard time bringing myself to install a 3500 lb axle on my m101a3. Seems common place to install a narrower axle then add wheel spacer to clear the hub. So what are the thoughts of using a 5200 lb axle to get the larger brakes and spindle in a 6 lug version and use adapters to get...

    CVT Mt. Mazama trailer tent

    https://cascadiatents.com/shop/trailer-tent/ Seems every time I search these type of tents I get different results- even from the same manufacturers. I am looking for a tent to fit on top of my M101a3 that has the ability to support 2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 dogs. Or two adults comfortably...

    Tongue length calculation/formula?

    Does anyone know a formula or some sort of calculation to find the optimal tongue length? I see several builds or adv production trailers with extended tongues. I am building a m101A3 to follow behind my JKU. I have zero off road experience with this combo but can say in stock form this...

    JK tire carriers- Tera-flex vs AEV?

    So the time has come where I want something different. I currently have a Poison Spider bumper w/ tire carrier. I originally really liked this setup as it was completely separate from the body and uses a door type latch so it isn't too difficult to release. I like the all bumper mounting for...

    09 JKU + supercharger vs '12+ JKU

    I currently have an 09 JKU Rubicon (see signature below) with 82k now. I have enjoyed owning it and got a good deal when I purchased it so I am not making any hasty decisions. I have a couple of complaints though, 3.8 provides little power/economy and I am not impressed with the transmission at...

    Awning for the lightweight

    Anyone put together an awning using something like Kelty's Noah's tarp: http://www.rei.com/product/808940/kelty-noahs-tarp-12-x-12 I have very little intention in purchasing a product such as ARB's awning (but if I do that is what I would purchase) for a couple reasons: 1) I don't want to have...

    iPhone vs Droid for gps/navigation purposes

    The time has come where my Blackberry wont even make it through a single phone call. Have been trying to wait for the iPhone5 but am now rethinking the decision. For phone quality and ease of use I have been leaning toward the iPhone but I am really interested in using it for mapping and...

    XJ-Keeping the stock flares

    I have noticed quite a bit of interest in swapping out the stock flares for aftermarket, larger cutout flares to accommodate larger tires and provide coverage. I would like to share the possibility of retaining the stock flares with up to a 35" tire yet still provide coverage and clearance...

    deep snow tires

    I am interested in your thoughts about tires for deep snow. Snow varying from a foot of powder to very deep packed drifts with a crust of ice on top. Many of my ventures are early season w/ powder and packed powder while my favorite exploration lies in the spring crawling through trails...
