    Campgrounds

    Awesome, thanks for all the suggestions! I'll definitely be referencing this thread for future planning. I'm also curious about Diamond Fork burning or not. That's one that I had in my mind for a trip this summer. Do any of you know if it is charred?

    Russia! Russia! Russia! Trump, and You!

    I agree. It would be interesting to see what a similar investigation into all the country's top officials and those around them would flush out in terms of illegal activities.

    Campgrounds

    What are some of the campgrounds you've used and liked? I'm talking fire pits, picnic tables, and bathrooms. I'm breaking a bunch of neighbors into camping and would like to do monthly camping trips this year with them. Our first one will be in early May in Moab at one of the RV parks. They...

    My adventure "tent trailer" build

    I hear you, but these are folks who will appreciate the bathrooms, showers, the pool for the kids, the fences for the kids, and the lack of wild animals to worry about. I've got to take baby steps with some of my neighbors. They're not "uppity" but they've never really camped and haven't had...

    But, but...the obstruction! There's gotta be something there! :rolleyes:

    My adventure "tent trailer" build

    Haha, well Moab rim is doable if they all rent the built jeeps from twisted jeeps or whatever its called, and I'm spotting them. We'll see how they do on Fins and things first. Is there another short trail that's not too far from town that would be good? (not Hells, it's too long...)

    My adventure "tent trailer" build

    2009 JKU w/ 37's and 5.38's. I'll be camping with a bunch of neighbors who are new to camping so we're going to do one of the RV resorts. Like, they're buying tents and gear for this trip hoping to start camping. I'm kind of the ring leader of it all so I have to cater to some of them who...

    My adventure "tent trailer" build

    I ordered a few things to upgrade the trailer: -Some LED strips and wiring kit to add lighting -Sleeping pad (Klymit insulated double V) that fits the wierd smaller size platform. (80"x48") -Camco Olympian Wave 3 propane heater, as suggested by AMO plus hose and CO2 detector so we can run it...

    My Next Project: 1965 Sunbeam Alpine

    So did he show up and not let you in, or did he never show up? If he had showed up and tried to kick me out without showing me my car, I would have been beyond pissed...

    My adventure "tent trailer" build

    Well I looked under the trailer and the main supports that the axle is mounted to run front to back, about 12" inside the edges of the box. This is probably so they can mount the super mini axles and wheels for the sxs towable version. So, I'll either have to do a new Dexter 3500 lb axle to...

    My adventure "tent trailer" build

    Wow, thanks for the info! Do I need to change out the whole axle, or can I change just the spindles? Where is the best place to get the Timbren stuff you're referring to? Does that heater need a vent to the outside?

    My adventure "tent trailer" build

    Thanks! I haven't looked into hitches yet but the hitch comes completely off, flush with the box. It slides into larger OD square tubing with a normal receiver pin, so building a new hitch will be a piece of cake and I can still interchange them if I want. The skid protection is a great idea...

    My adventure "tent trailer" build

    I'm planning on running larger tires to add the lift it needs. The trailer maker also has an "Ultra" model that they sell with up to 35" tires so I figured I'd be safe at least up to 35's. 37's would match the jeep. The manufacturer lists the axles as "1200lbs Dexter torsion with high speed...

    My adventure "tent trailer" build

    So, this trailer followed me home today. It's a mig Apex XCT tent trailer. They first made them to pull behind sxs's and then made this model for pulling behind cars and small SUV's. The guy I bought it from bought it brand new 4 years ago and set it up a couple times to show it off but never...

    That’ll leave a mark.

    I LOL'd at that one!

    How does your off-road trailer tow? Affect power/mileage? Specifically 3.8L JKU....

    Awesome, good to know! How much does your trailer weight when it's loaded down? Any idea? I did just pick up a little trailer but I'll start a "build thread" tonight when I've taken some pics of the trailer. :cool:

    How does your off-road trailer tow? Affect power/mileage? Specifically 3.8L JKU....

    Hey all, quick question for those of you who have pulled an off-road trailer. I have an '09 JKU on 37's w/ 5.38's. It actually does great on the freeway. I can cruise between 65 and 80 from here to St. George or Moab and get 16-17.5 mpg's. My question is how much would an 800-900 lb...
