We can tell...

Imagine the Jeep flipped on its lid.
What is supporting the cage on the back end of the jeep, and keeping it from crushing down on the body? You have several tubes that dead end in a T w/o any support.
 
Come on guys.
He doesnt wheel hard.
Never drives fast.
Its only him in the rig.
He never sells a rig to anyone else.

That's why he doesnt care about cage design. He has told us all this 100x.

I'll correct this...I don't wheel stupid, I wheel smart so I can go home to my family and my rig can survive another day. On a real sketchy trail, I hook my winch just for security with little slack. Yeah I'm a wuss but whatever, im not out to impress anyone but to have fun and overcome the trail in safest way possible.
 
Did you have any trouble getting a tag for the trailer? I have always wondered what that would be like if I built one from scratch.

Before I even read the next post I was like "how should he know?"

Its very... governmental.

Go to a dmv with a license and theft officer, you wait, they come out much later, make sure its not a death trap, they give you a VIN (TIN?), you take that to one of several specific shops to get it stamped on the tongue. No, you can't bring punches and stamp it yourself. You go back, they make sure they spelled the VIN correct, give you paperwork, you go register it at license plate agency.
 
When I tagged an m100 trailer, they wrote it up as a home-made trailer, and I had to stamp the VIN they gave me on the axle and tongue (myself) and then have a Trooper look at it and sign it. The Trooper walked in to the place I worked, and asked if I had the paper he needed to sign. He was ready to just sign and go, but the paper was out in my Jeep, so he pulled around and gave the trailer a glance over his glasses as he was signing the form. Did not even look at the stampings or anything.

I looked at that, now yes I know I'm missing those important sections..those will get added in before I go to Harlan, windrock, gulches... horsepower Park isn't really crazy enough for anything more than a flop ...yet...and I'm not going on those crazy hills either but I appreciate pointing out that link, it was very informative.
 
I did a homemade tag on my M101 trailer. DMV officer wasn't being Officer Friendly, and didn't want to sign off because it was obviously not home made. He said my name sounded familiar. I skipped right over my dad being a CPA in town, and my mom teaching high school, and went straight to the killer "my cousin is from here and works in the Governors office, you must know her". He signed. Well, she was a secretary in the typing pool...

That’s flawed thinking.

More people have been killed or seriously injured while on connector trails or doing donuts, or quick trips.

Everyone typically uses all their safety gear on the hard stuff. It’s the easy stuff and being careless for a moment that causes injuries.

Short version.

False sense of security.

The irony is, this is what I'm always thinking when I watch everyone else wheel to be honest. Anyone whose been around me knows I always say "them crazy a** people going up that, hell no"
