    Towing setup question

    Hi! I have a stock Jeep Rubicon and I just picked up a Smittybilt Scout overland trailer. The trailer receiver (unloaded) sits about 6" higher than the Jeep. From asking around on forums and talking to different people, it sounds like you don't want to use an extension on the Jeep side...

    7 Hour Plane Crash Trail

    We're thinking about doing this trip too and have an odd question. I've read that that there are some blueberry patches up there in the forests. Can anybody comment if this exists, and possibly provide some additional information about them?

    Trailer Suggestions to Start With

    Well------that's another problem for me too. It's been a year since we've been to the vet, but my guess is she's at least 100#. It's a chore to get her into the car...I can't imagine figuring some way to get her into a RTT. Elevator?

    Thanks for the information. I did see these but wrote them off as they looked like the HF ones at first glance. I didn't know they came with 2k axles and leaf springs. I suppose it's something to keep my eyes on.

    Trailer Suggestions to Start With

    I'm interested to get started with the first steps of building a trailer, but I'm looking for ideas for a good foundation....a 'starter trailer' that I can build up. I get the feeling that the utility trailers commonly found online, at harbor freight, and northern tool are all the same generic...

    Hello There!

    Hi! I thought I would make a quick intro post about myself. I have a YJ and just ordered a JLU. We love to go camping and so far have just limited it to campgrounds, but we're all getting tired of the condition of the campgrounds and the loud neighbors when we go. I became interested in...
