Picked up a 459 Krawler adventure trailer!!!!! It looks tiny on the RV-pad, lol. It'll probably go in the garage, but my brother-in-law had to pick it up for me as I'm down in the bay for work. I have power on the RV-pad, so if I do keep it out here I'll hook it up and get a good cover for...

Super cool rig/trailer! Hole-e-chit! -TJ

Rubicons come with a ~33" stock. The OP has a Rubicon, there's no reason he'd ever want to run a 31 or 32". 35"s will cause very little change in parts wear or breakage, especially if done on a stock offset rim. The biggest change in wear comes with offset changes. Breakage with the D44s and...

Getting to an annoying exhaust leak... -TJ

Beadlocks are often tough to balance, and tough to maintain a good seal with. I run them on sand rails and SxSs, but not on my WJ. A lot of people *think* they need beadlocks, when they really don't. A 35" or 37" will work brilliantly on your DJLUR (with a 2.5" lift for the 37") and they give...

Thanks again for all the help folks, tons of great information here. I lucked-out and an OB member reached out who was selling the perfect trailer for me. I still love the Vorsheer XOC, but I found something a bit smaller, a good bit lighter, and much more affordable (about half what I'd have...

Who can spot the exhaust leak: -TJ

My Glamis group makes a delicacy we call "Dog-a-dillas." Flour tortilla, hot dog (must be cooked on a BBQ), refried beans (if you haven't tried these, they're great), cheese of course, then fixin's to taste (sour cream, various salsas. -TJ

Congrats - now go get it dirty! :) -TJ

Those definitely are interesting, I might have to look into them a bit more. The light weight and simplicity are certainly nice. Setup wouldn't be bad at all, and once setup it's more space. The only downside would be it doesn't have some of the gucci features like a galley, onboard water...

Haha, our dogs, though smaller do the same thing. In the RV we've gone to crating them, even though the RV has a King bed. Even at home we're moving to crating, it just improves the quality of our sleep so much. The dogs move in and out of the covers, sprawl out sideways, compete to be...

That's interesting, I hadn't even thought of making the SUV the sleeping area and more or less perm setup then moving ALL gear into a smaller trailer. This would allow for a much smaller (and cheaper) trailer. Hmmm. Downside is with the WJ the sleeping platform would still need to somewhat...

I'm always interested in other setups, so sure feel free to send me a few pics. That said, changing the vehicle out at this point is not an option. I love my WJ, and I'm (far too) heavily invested in it. I suppose I shouldn't totally rule out the interior build-out as I described above and...

Beautiful build and bikes... and love the plate! -TJ

I find those sort of sub-forums are really limiting and restrict information sharing. I'm on a RZR forum that has things broken down super, super granularly. Often there will be a question asked in a sub-sub-sub forum and the OP will get no answers. Their question might be relevant to lots of...

Fair points. I was mostly curious about the NoBos in general, not becaues they'd be right for me. Obviously the price-point is attractive compared to the 'real' off-road ones, but there's a reason. And yes, I know anything can be broken if you try hard 'nough... and anything can survive if...

Gotcha, thanks for your input. Even though I would use it as a "base camp" mostly, the NoBo is just too big for my use-case and not going to work for the trails I have in mind. Sounds about right! Thanks. -TJ

Yeah, I guess I knew that was the answer before I asked. I don't think I want something that big or "full featured" anyway. But thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions. Looks like a very nice WJ, but I have to say I'm surprised you found the 4.7 was down on power for a small...

Do those NoBos hold up to *real* off road use? I'm not talking the Rubicon or anything, but what about trials something like: -TJ

Well said, thank you. Those are basically all of the reasons IF I do a trailer, it'll be a Tear/Square drop. I understand the other styles if you have a family and just need the gear space, but 99% of my Overlanding trips I'll be solo in my rig (with friends in their own rigs), so I *can* fit...
