Hmm...I understand flipping the axle for more height...but the offset is to keep the inside of the tire from hitting the trailer frame. The trailer sits pretty high, but yeah, solid axle. Is that what you're getting at?

So...this is my future overland trailer. I need to ditch the 6x16" 4 ply BF Goodrich Silvertown agriculture tires, for modern tires. Problem is, the existing rims are very narrow, so I'll need to get wheels with a high (-) Negative offset in order be able to clear everything. Thinking steel...

Have you looked at the Livin Lite Extreme Trail Ed. camper? Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Welcome!

My brother's 2005 Sequoia had this done. His frame was clearly defective. By his 3rd year of ownership, you could take a putty knife and peel sections of rusted steel off the entire rear 1/3...2 years later the entire frame was like that. Their's was replaced early on before the recall, and...

Yay Stockton! I lived in Tracy for a couple years riding the ACE Rail to Pleasanton daily. Miss all the fun things CA has to offer! So all the canals are filling up then? I suppose there's a place in Sacramento where it can get into the bay...but can that handle all the water?

The funny thing is that I lived in Pleasanton, San Ramon, and finally out in Tracy for a couple of years. I had no idea until I left CA all the waterways around me when I lived out there. Or how accessible the Mtn's were until I started snowboarding up in Bear Valley my last winter out there...

I don't feel you have anything to apologize for...there was certainly no need for all caps & underlining, ie. yelling at you. Especially considering your post was simply calling attention to any OB'ers (and regular folks) that might be scrambling to get out of there.

Finally got warm enough to give the Jeep a wash. Emblem is installed! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Question...are you going to 17" rims and taller tires to keep the clearance height the same? I had a Baja and clearance was always my biggest concern. If its a non-Turbo...do you know if the head gaskets are good, or have been replaced? That would be my biggest concern right of the bat. I'd...

This is the one I've watched...the guy does a nice job of walking through each part.

I'm somewhat in a similar boat...wanting to get to CO and do Black Bear Pass. I know my wife will freak when she see's the step portion..but the views! Thanks indycole for the recommended loops. I did have the thought of hiring a guide or...throwing out a meet up to have a group of OBer's go...

I actually liked the little Renegade Comanche Pickup concept the best. The FC is cool but would never make it to market as it wouldn't pass front & side impact requirements. The Renegade Commander would be great as well. I do like the Crew Chief (top one) is very cool as well.

Ok, good to know! So...a Black Bear & Imogene Pass run would be best after July 1. It looks like September is still pretty safe too...

So did FCA allow you out of the special order for the 2017 CRD, where the dealership wouldn't?

Nothing wrong, IMO, with day tripping and spending the night in hotels IMO. You have 6 people to please...have to do something everybody likes. Might be Overlanding one day, shopping the next, hiking the next. Best to keep everyone interested. It'll only make for a good time for everyone...

Yep, posted the Jeep trailers on page 1. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Sorry, not trying to bombard you with 10 posts from me... (I love the stock photo of the dude cleaning his shotgun, just lounging around on his tailgate. Dunno why, but I laugh when I see that one.) Sequoia's are great. My brother has like 150k miles on his, and Toyota just replaced the...

Honestly, the thought of mating an Apache Eagle or something similar to a better trailer frame has a lot of appeal (to me at least). Easy setup, low cost of entry, new canvas still available, decent room, hardly any parts to break, small footprint, etc.
