You know it! I love that trailer!
Also love the pic of evo1 at liftoff.

Sorry, thought you were Greg ,because it said overland jk in the response.
I know this has probably been asked a thousand times, so here it is one more time. What is reasonably the largest size tire you should use on a Dana 30 with stock or cut fenders, keeping in mind that the axle will likely be replaced in the future.
Thanks!
You know i have wondered the same thing since i plan on lifting mine soon

Missed the part where you said this was on a YJ before. Unlike a jK, it is much lighter and that'll make a difference too
Is it a difference between the 4.0 and 3.8 or 3.6? Different transmissions? Or the frame and tub is heavier now?I'm curious... Why is there such a disparity in weight?
That is a sweet shot, but it might have been easier to mount your spare on the jeep instead of hauling it in a trailer.:cheesy::cheesy::cheesy::cheesy:
It's ok, at 19 everything you do seems extreme. No one here is truly beating you up. Its cool you are building up your rig as you can afford it. :thumb:
Yeah- it had a tire and a few toolboxes. All stuff that normally rides in the jeep. That was a shakedown run to see where I could take that trailer. I was up until the early hours of the morning finishing narrowing the trailer and getting some lights on it. If I had it a little more assembled, my goal was to have my wife's Rzr in it.
The empty trailer is 1500lbs. Rzr is another 1,000.

OP, Get your rachet and a TIGHT bolt (preferably a skid plate bolt under your jeep) now hold the ratchet very close to the socket and try REAL hard to break the bolt loose, it wont budge, now move your hand out 2.5" from the socket and try again REAL hard, if it breaks loose :clap2: tighten it back up and move to another bolt, regardless, now move your hand out another 2.5" from the socket (5" total) and try to break loose the bolt, pretty easy. -> this is exactly whats going on with bigger tires on an axle, Leverage :shock: Your hand on the wrench represents where your tire hits the ground, and breaking the bolt loose represents breaking your axle... crude but very real example of the difference in forces 5" can make. (That's what she said?)
A Yj can fit in the back seat of a jk
