hey guys just was reffered here. im looking at buying a little guys offroad tear drop trailer and figured id research up. my girlfriend really wants to get one and im not against it since i love travelling. my parents have a 25' travel trailer and i go with in the summer when i dont have to work or when college lets me haha. anyways, she showed me this offroad trailer she found and i take my jeep wheeling alot and i think it would be perfect. i had a 99 cherokee with 8.5" of lift and 35" tires but an old lady cut me off last year and i swerved, hit a snow bank and it rolled.

i sold some armor to pay for a 97 grand cherokee and kept the suspension and bumpers but im getting the itch for another cherokee so im going to sell my grand, get a cherokee and drop it to 6.5" of lift and 33" tires. then a matching set of 33s on the trailer :)

i know its not ideal for towing with a lifted rig but im thinking with some sway control, it should do alright. the axles will be getting 4.56 gears so im thinking it will do alright.

anyways, just figured id say hi

Oh darn. I don't care about jeep armor! ;) But chain mail, yeah that's cool stuff. (no, I don't have any) Ah well, jeeps are more appropriate for a small trailer forum. Carry on!

What a disappointment about the armor. But welcome anyway, from a neighbor to the east! ;)
