I'd really like to know the specs on the toyhauler - appears to be a bumper pull?? What is the capacity on that thing, how long is it, how tall is the garage opening, etc.

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks - those have some pretty serious load capacities! We've been talking about selling the motorhome in a couple years when the kids are older and getting a truck and trailer, nice to know there are some good options.

Top one is cb citizens band 11 meter anyone can use 4 watt max. Bottom one is dual band amateur radio 2 meter and 70 cm you need a FCC license to operate. The amateur radios have way more power and repeaters to re transmit your signal last night I talked to people in Big Bear and I'm in Brea Orange County on the 2 meter Big Bear repeater.

I can't wait to get my HAM license. I want to set my radios up similar to yours except I have the overhead console so I have to find a spare to do a test fitting to find where it's gonna be the most functional.

Question Looking Good

Leroy. Your ride is looking better every day. Good job.
Wanted to pick our mind. I'm about to pull the trigger on my fenders. Going to get the V2's. I know you did the cut and fold on the rear of our xj. Could I get our input on why you did the cut and fold and would you do it again. Thinking of upgrading tire size I have 31's with a 4.5 lift.. The more input u have is better. Would like not to learn from my mistakes.
Would welcome anyone else's input.
Thanks

1149 same price anywhere you shop I decided today so I went to 4 wheel parts in Compton to pick up so I could use it this weekend. Look up a couple posts at my battery pic I posted the website where I got cables and clamps. Those are military style battery connectors just have to make sure you keep tight.

Chuck my tires were rubbing was the reason for the cut and fold. at first I tried to leave stock flairs on. The v2 are the ones I would get if I went that way. I think down the road if I need flairs I will make tube fender flairs out of steel. Yes I would do it again. When I put the 35s on I even cut the front more and had to massage the lip on inner fender well.
