You better not leave them unlocked. I've been looking for some just like yours. LOL
What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

I have mine on the roof rack, but not locked, someone would have to undo for bolts to get to them.
Interesting, I had to look that one up. I'll have to do more research or if you have already sorted the chaff send me a link please

I know everyone does it but think back a few years ago when Ralph Nader got the Ford Pinto manufacturing banned for so called un-safe gas tanks. I guess I'm still brainwashed about having gas tanks so vulnerable to rear end collisions. I'd like to hear other opinions on carrying gas tanks on the rear bumper and other options.last thing i bought was a swing out hitch carrier for extra fuel.
it looked a lot different on the seller's website....
but on the bright side...i bet it deters tailgating!

As a side note I just purchased 2 new jerry cans and havent decided where to put them for safe transport.

Having had my XJ rear ended more than once, that has always been a concern. At least get them up high enough that most cars would hit underneath them. The van that hit last time was pretty tall.

I appreciate your input. Were you pulling your trailer when you were rear ended ?

The first car I legally drove on the highway was a 76 Pinto wagon. I had been driving for 4 years at that point.
yeah, those pintos weren't exactly "chick magnets"...
but on the flipside...if a girl was dating me and riding in my pinto, i knew she wasn't dating me for my car

No, my son in law was using my Jeep. He was stopped at a light and a plumbers van hit him from the rear. It totaled the van. My bumper did a number on him. He got my signals and the hatch. His insurance paid $2400. I fixed it for $300.
I have my trailer insured on an agreed price of $20k.

My first car to drive was a 1931 model A Ford coup. I was 12 at the time and it was 16. I didn't know it had 3 forward gears so I drove it in whatever gear I could find.

Your trailer is worth every cent of that. BTW did your SIL get any whip lash from that accident ? If not he was a lucky man !

Being eye one for awhile, so I picked up a cordless impact wrench made by WORKPRO on Amazon. 20V, 1/2", 320lb torque. I've yet to test it out.

Cordless 1/2" impact is a "must have" in my trail toolkit. The number one trail repair is swapping on a spare wheel/tire.
