    Any middle TN-East TN the teardrop owners present?

    The Persue is a helluva trailer, I was on the fence between that and the Crux I ended up purchasing. Wish I had pulled the trigger on the Flyer.

    Peak Expedition Trailers

    Not sure about the eBay units, but the Cruisemaster is top-notch quality. I put one on my Crux to replace the Poly Block that it was supplied with and it's a helluva lot nicer. Just took a close look at the eBay image and it looks a lot cruder than the DO35.

    ARB Twin Air mount in a JKU Wrangler

    Not sure if this is the correct section for this but here goes, Looking for suggestions on mounting an ARB Twin Air in a JKU. Had it under the passenger seat, but just replaced the seats with some Corbau Buckets and it will no longer fit. It's LS swapped so under the hood is out. I have a...

    Black Series fire hazard

    FWIW, I purchased a Crux 1610 in 2019 (also China manuf) and had the same type of issues. The entire AC system was using US spec 60Hz components and Romex for the cable. Just about the same quality level shown above. I suspect either the importer or dealership performed the work. Ended up...

    To pintle or not to pintle?

    Actually few moving parts, & it’s completely rebuildable if ever necessary, works excellently even well below freezing. Only downside (other than cost) is it’s slightly more difficult to hook up than a pintle/lunette, but dead quiet & stable. Been using mine for about 5 years with no issues. I...

    Smittybilt Scout Trailer Reviews?

    Not a Scout, but 2800#’s as it sits here and no issue towing it with my 3.8 JKU, you just had to be patient. A JLU should have no issues towing a loaded Scout, heavier springs or airbags might help, but I doubt they will be necessary. Ditched the 3.8/6-speed for a 6.0LS/6L80E combo and 13”...

    Power Needed to Drag a Trailer Through the Backcountry

    4WD May not be “needed”, but what it gives you is a torque multiplier (low range). By having 4WD he can run taller gearing for hwy use and still be able to grunt through off road situations by shifting into low range. If you’re dragging trailers with Van’s on or off road and looking for fuel...

    Power Needed to Drag a Trailer Through the Backcountry

    I did an L96/6L80 swap in my JKU in 2020, it’s lifted on 35’s tips the scales @ 5800#’s average and is about as aerodynamic as a barn door. I get about 13.5 @ 70ish on the interstate. Currently running 3.73’s & it’s waaay overgeared. I think when I finally get around to swapping those for 4.10’s...

    Power Needed to Drag a Trailer Through the Backcountry

    My mistake, I was assuming pre-owned. If it’s a new 21, would it not come with the 10 speed or at least the 8? I thought the 6l80 was phased out when the LT platform replaced the LS.

    Power Needed to Drag a Trailer Through the Backcountry

    Remember……….there’s no replacement for displacement. That having been said, 3.42 seems obnoxiously high for really any off road situation. I know it’s nice on the hwy, but 3.73 or 4.10 would be better off road. What transmission are you running 6L80E? Assuming you’re considering GM, the...

    Tuffstuff Trailer???

    I have the 6L unit & that’s as large as I will go in a 1550. Mine has no exhaust deflector so I’m trying to fab something to keep it from melting. Looks like this COVID thing is burning out & might be able to get out again this summer, so I’m finally motivated to get back on it.

    Tuffstuff Trailer???

    Bought an “all in one” unit and set it on the top deck and duct into the tent. Added an extention cable to the controller so I could use it in the tent as well.

    MIssion Overland Trailer Owners page

    I wouldn’t tolerate that, you’re eventually going to end up a tank full of mud. Should be a simple fix, find a hardware store buy a gasket that fits the cap.
