The white one is my main ride now, it pulls my Catalina 22 Sailboat. But man does it suck the gas when I do.
No squat though

If you load the trailer correctly there should be very little to no squatting.
That Catalina 22 and trailer is over 3000 pounds.
The boat ramp is way to steep where I launch it and the little XJ grunts pulling it back out.

It is hard to tell in the picture but I am parked on a loading dock with a slanted entrance and my Jeep is level. A local department store was throwing away a bunch of shelf glass and I took it all. I weighed it when I got home and it was literally 2000 lbs.


220k and still going strong!!!

It might not look like much but there's 5000 pounds of cement patio pavers in the trailer. It was also raining the day I went to pick them up and it made for some "interesting" driving on the way home.
