I may get bags eventually, but it's actually only dropped about 4 inches from when it's empty.Somebody buy this man some airbags!
@No fries Did put the CJ-5 in. Fit well. Engine is right behind the rear tires of the trailer. I've towed with it and it really doesn't seem any different. I imagine it's missing 1-300 pounds of pin weight, but these are already very pin heavy.Will be putting the CJ5 in soon. Did a lot of measuring before buying. 13' garage. Jeep is 11.5' long. Ramp is rated for 3k.
Trailer is 13500 dry. CJ-5 is about 2200 (fiberglass body, aluminum wheels). So we'll be (easily) pushing the 16500 GVRW. Keep trying to get the wife not to get cast iron pans, lol.
I'd still like to have a Sundowner. So much lighter. Maybe one day.
I looked and looked for one of those trucks that wasn't beat to death and gave upMaaaaan... If I knew what I was missing out on I would have picked one if these up WAAAAAY SOONER
Scored a pretty damn sweet 8.1/Allison 4x4 yesterday in walkertown. Grabbed the trailer this am and went to get the daily I left yesterday at the little use car lot I found it at. Loaded the Honda up and headed home. This truck had no idea it was back there. I swear this thing pulls better and stronger than my 05 6.blow with the 100hp tune.
I'm SO impressed with this truck.
This will replace my dumptruck as a general "truck". No plans to sell the suburban.

I was in the same boat just a couple weeks ago. Fortunately not as far as way.Bought this trailer 8 yrs ago, it's on the first page of this thread when Jeremy owned it. Anyway the neck has always been too low so last year I added a 3rd axle and lifted it 4.5" . Headed to AL for a week last week and the brakes were non existent and the 3rd axle had bad seals, Monday replaced 4 of the brakes with way marked up parts from a trailer dealer and put the two new spares I had on the back since those two were the older tires, brother said he for sure torqued the lug nuts. Brakes still sucked but left yesterday anyway.
At 430 somewhere past Montgomery the driver rear tire disappeared which caused the passenger rear to shred itself, spent 3 hrs looking for a hub or replacement studs finally said screw it pull the skid steer all the way forward and keep going on 2 axles.
10 miles from auburn one of the front tires blew, replaced that pulled into the new buc ees and spent the night, ended up being a trailer dealer 2 miles away. Not only did he not gouge me on hub and new tires but sold a whole new trailer and let me leave mine on his lot until I can come back through. Anyway been a shitty expensive 3 days...
