Thanks, I also read that about the axle, some bending and not lasting long. I will keep that in mind when I pick a rig. I wish I had the time and know how to build my own but I guess I will be buying one of the premade deals, just need to find one that I can afford.

Thanks for the info. I will be doing alot of practicing when I do have a trailer setup since it will be my first time using one. If I cant see the trailer would maybe a permanent small flag on the center rear of the trailer viewable in the rear view mirror be a useful aid?

I have a 08 Jeep Sahara 2dr w/ 3.21 ratio from what I found I got a 1000lb tow limit as is. I agree on upgrading but I was hoping to get out doors with what I got and build up later. I figure if I can get a trailer max 600lbs or less I really dont have 400lbs of gear anyway.

Hi all, Im new to trailers and towing. I do not own anything right now. I would love to have a cargo type trailer for the camping gear and stuff. I use a Jeep JK 08 2dr with unfortunately a 1000lbs towing capacity at time of purchase towing anything was not on my mind. I am interested in...
