    Enclosed trailer questions/opinions

    I use dicor in a caulking gun to run along the seams and then cover the seam with 6" eternabond tape on my RV roof. Haven't had any issues with leaking.

    Is it worth it , or are forums a dying media ?

    I live in Orlando, Florida and probably have only actually met a handful of people on this site, but I enjoy coming here on a regular basis. I am not a fabricator, drive a Jeep, not a buggy, and only get to the AL, TN area parks once, maybe twice a year. I don't feel like I have a lot to offer...

    Powerglide shifter with quick D to R capability?

    I use the M40 Speed Shifter and have been happy with it. The M4O shifter is designed to go from any forward gear to reverse faster than the transmission can actually shift. The shifter has a park lockout which insures that it will stop in reverse every time. We have also incorporated a reverse...

    Trail highway

    And then they tell everyone they made it up that trail, but fail to mention that they went around all the obstacles.

    Sticky Mickey

    I loved my Baja Claws, but I think I'll stick to my Treps instead of these new Mickey Thompsons.

    Tagging a buggy?

    This is definitely the easier route. I bought a jeep from another state and had trouble getting it registered. The DMV workers were not going to let me register it because they couldn't verify at least two VIN plates on the Jeep. Since there was no windshield it didn't have the vin plate that is...

    Who tows with an RV?

    You will need to consider the towing capacity of whatever you get. I have a Class A with a Chevy 454 motor that I use to haul my Jeep on an aluminum trailer. It's only rated to pull 5000# and I average 6-7 mpg. I'm having issues with the brakes over heating when pulling the Jeep with no trailer...

    Frenchie winching basics 101

    Typically the 10-12 ft sleeve already on the rope is the heat shield that should be wrapped on drum. I have a 4-6 ft velcro sleeve that I use to protect the rope.

    Direction changing events in your off roading hobby

    I was born and raised in Orlando, so grew up driving in the orange groves and mudding. Started riding 4 wheelers in an area that was being dug out for a land fill. I loved hauling butt up these steep dirt hills, trying to make it to the top without rolling back down to the bottom. Bought a stock...
