drove from bonney lake to Missoula Montana last sunday to pick it up. was completely stock when I got it. only paid 600 for the trailer. and about 300 to go get it lol. since I drove my Cherokee there. its an M416 1979 army trailer that was used in Vietnam or something like that. whatev, with these 33x12.5x15 intercos its my offroad trailer lol. I plan on hauling that thing through every trail from here on out. I love it cuz I can carry just about any spare part you could need out on the trail. like whole axles or even an engine lol. and the trailer only weighs like 650lbs. empty weight.

Agreed. except if you live we're they salt in the winter. I personally would wash the beast once a week to stop salt for rusting the jeep way !! (over kill maybe but I hate rust!!!)

Finally washed it. Drove it. Saw another lifted xj on POT rd and tried to get a pic but he took off. I stopped into interco metals to get prices for my bumper build, exciting **** huh lol.

Installed some shakle relocators from LeadFoot Aka FST. Ran into some install issues but overall I'm happy.
I'll be posting a simple write up sometime. I took a couple pictures along the way

Not the low pro style. I was hoping to gain an inch or so but right now I think it is the same height as before. Might move it back one hole to try and level my jeep.
The leafs are worn out stocks with an AAL added last year.
