    Your Experience With San Rafael Swell?

    A few weekend ago the wife and I decided to head out for the weekend. We ended up going through San Rafael Swell. It was amazing! The area is beautiful. We also caught the Neowise comet which was a great experience for us. We loved our short time out in this area and are itching to explore more...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    Great info. I am on the same thought as you. One more thing ill add is that the size of the brakes on a light weight trailer could be to large for a brake controller to control properly. This little trailer is very light, about 600 pounds empty. I used a 2,000 axle with brakes rated for a 2,000...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    Prodigy P2 allows you to turn down the brakes entirely if needed(im sure many controllers do this). I do it all the time when towing with my flatbed trailers. Mainly when they are empty or when I need to back them up for long distances or in tight spaces. So, I agree. I would rather run brakes...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    I agree, I am not sure where this idea that the trailer brakes lock up easliy. I guess if a brake controller cant be adjusted it would lock up light weight trailers. But all of my controllers have adjustments. I towed this lightweight trailer with a ram 3500. I could adjust the brakes so they...

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    Hmm this might be so, unless you have the approatie sized brakes for the trailer. Not to mention an adjustable break controller. But regardless, I still maintain that for offroad use trailer brakes are a good thing.

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    That might have a lot do with the controller and tow rig. I know that the tow pro elite is adjustable enough that it doesn't bother me while offroad. Maybe the size or type of brakes would affect this too?

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    Ive had to add them to all of mine. I like to use 7 pin connectors as well.

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    The two wires you are speaking of are reverse lights and a power wire to charge a battery. Normal utility trails do not use those two. Hmm.

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    That’s exactly the method I was just thinking through in my head. Great minds think alike. What would be really cool is if this could all be fit into one trailer plug. Hmmm. I might have to go search for different trailer connectors and see what is available.

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    I love the idea of being able to control each tire independently. Reminds me of cutting brakes in an older sand rail I had. Hmm maybe a cool project would be to figure out how to wire something like that up, and make it controllable from the cab.

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    Exactly. I built my trailers extremely light because I use them behind a TJ. Even so, trailer brakes are awesome with even the lightest of loads. Thank you for your input!

    Offroad Trailer Brakes - Yes or No?

    Back on the Cheap Jeep Trailer. This time we wire up the trailer brakes. Something that should have been done long ago. Also, we move from a 4 pin to a 7 pin connector. I have built trailers without brakes and trailers with. Would you run trailer brakes on your offroad trailer? Why or why not...

    I would have to agree! I wish I could find a long range fuel tank for my Jeep. I would be all over it.

    I went from 35 general grabber X3s down to 33/10.50r15 K02s. I absolutely love the K02 tire.

    What Is Your Favorite Modification?

    There is something to be said for unlimited power on tap. I know my jeep could use a few more ponies every now and then.
