    The track is within a couple of inches of the CJ, which is wide track axles. Not sure if the CJ will make it up to a tailgate. It isn't taken it out much for highway travel.

    My first post... Building this for the family. Can't put all the camping/beach needs in the rear of the CJ now that the kids will be going with us. Plan is to track smaller than my CJ, but have the same inside width as the CJ tub. I am building this as cheap as I can. Started with 2.5...
