Ironically, I installed a trailer brake kit in this a few years ago and have been lucky to fit on my buddies goose each year and never needed to tow my Jeeps w/ this yet...well, wheeling, anyway.

I do have plans to get the JK on a single car this spring to Moab and put it to it's first real west bound trek tho, so here it is as it sits now:

Love it, best vehicle I've ever owned!

Yes, it is dirty as hell!

I paid extra for the towing package on mine. Literally went out of my way to pay more get the better towing mirrors and trailer brake controller. I hated the towing mirrors for a long time, and broke the passenger side one within a few months of ownership. I now am used to them and love them but it took a while.

The trailer brake controller has literally never been used. I thought about putting trailer brakes on the ATV trailer just so I could justify having it in the truck.

Cobound 09-13-2017 01:10 PM

LOL, nice! Yeah, I towed my 18' trailer when I moved, several trips...even the Jeep to get it up here, but never once hooked up a trailer that needed the controller since :lol:

I did go w/ the factory version tho, it's super clean. Truck had the tow pkg, just not the controller. I've not looked at a new truck since I sat in this one, and I have no plans in doing so for the near future!

It took me a year to sell this in '08, fuckin' nobody wanted a big SUV after the gas hikes, now everyone is buying them again.

Cruisers post reminded me I didn't actually post a picture of my "rig" actually "towing" anything. Let me correct that....

Moving to a 2015+ soon.

Say, that scrambler looks familiar.

Cobound 10-11-2017 05:16 PM

That setup was a HUGE improvement over the one we took the trip before :lol:

I'll have to dig to find pix of that - epic year! :rock:

Still wondering if that Ram will make another trip, any plans before March to get rid of that Camaro :cotter: :lol:

This one is a 32'. 28' deck, 4' dovetail. Works great. Eats tires though.

at 30' you may have the ass hanging on the back JK if you run spare tire carriers. JK + TJ is no issues.

Cobound 10-18-2017 01:07 PM

LOL, found a pic of it the day you drove up and showed me what you got :lol:

https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...70&oe=5A68041F

Can't find any more tho, seems that phone w/ all the pix got trashed or sold immediately after the trip, cuz I have NO photos of it :(

Maybe I do need a 32'....The TJ is stretched on 42's so its about the length of a JKU now. :thumbsup:

That's a gawd damn sexxy shot, and was a downright epic year! Fawk, those looks so sweet trailered together...I miss it, but can't wait to get the JK out there :rock:

You need some of those chrome stick on replacement rocker panels.

Cobound 10-21-2017 02:45 PM

Yeah, that's worse :lol:

Running 'er into the ground at this point. With that much rust and 268k miles, the truck isn't worth much.

And why would that matter to you? Its not like this truck is worth anything to anyone at this point. Driving it until the wheels fall off, or something :lol:

Because all kind of people are moving here and bringing their pos rust belt cars with them. Leave that **** behind, it sucks for everybody here

*edit it was a joke, because I've talked with Nefarious about it before.

Nefarious 10-24-2017 01:56 PM

We don't need the "wheels falling off" event to happen on our fair highways and kill a person who actually belongs here :f2:

JEEPJERK 10-24-2017 04:49 PM

Move there James. Kill them all.

I know it was a joke, but I still fail to see how it harms anyone or anything simply driving a rusted out car in a state which typically doesn't see it. If it's not going to be on the market...why does it matter? I understand the frustration of typically not worrying about rust when looking at used vehicles, only to find that a vehicle which was transplanted from the midwest has since been put on the market in your area and came with the rotted out rockers that we are used to around here.

That would be frustrating. Other than that...I see no harm. Please enlighten me. :lol:

You know what I meant :f2:. I'm going to take a year off work and drive circles around CO until the wheels fall off my truck. Just for you.
