    Started my trailer

    Shorter trailers are harder to back up and harder to balance. Longer trailers are heavier and harder to get down a trail. Finding the balance of "want VS need" is tough and its something you should address before you break out the credit card. Where are you going to be taking the...

    matching tires

    Usually the added weight is minimal unless you are running 35+" tires. Additionally the larger the OD of the tire the less revolutions per mile the tire has to spin... this means less heat in the bearings. While Im not saying everyone should run 37" tires on a trailer, I do advise that you do...

    Mountain biking

    I ride a Transition Smuggler(full suspension 29er) here in Western Colorado. I added a 130mm MRP racing Stage front fork and spend quite a bit of time out on the amazing singletrack in my area. The best advice I can give you before spending money on a new bike is to go and demo a few. Find out...

    Roof rack for JKU

    It's good to mention that on a JK make sure you get a rack that's supported by metal. If the rack mounts through the hardtop, make sure it has brackets that go through to the roll cage like the Frontrunner or Teraflex racks. Going through the roof to actual structure is what gives those racks...

    Is anyone using a Weight Distribution Hitch to pull a trailer? Recommendations?

    This might be a day late, dollar short but if you have a trailer that needs weight distribution hitch absolutely get sway control with it. Do not buy a WD hitch with chains only. I dont know what you are towing with or trying to tow but Equal-i-zer, Fastway and Reese all make nice ones.

    Offroad trailer hitches

    Having options is always a nice thing and having a trailer with a 2" receiver on the front give you just that. I personally prefer a standard 2" ball or Max-Coupler which is why they are the only options on the trailers I make. A 2" ball will articulate quite a bit and can be used on most...

Im in Moab a lot so...
