This may or may not be a thread but figured if not why not get it started. Post up pic/pics of your jeep that gets driven to or from the trail. Doesn't have to be a dd. Just NOT a trailer queen

Here's mine. It will eventually be trailered though(once i buy a trailer wide enough). But at the moment. It is not!

It depends how far the trail is. Anything over 50 miles I try to trailer.

A trailer might not be a bad investment. Since I have a tendency to get myself into trouble out on the trails.

One of my last times out, I killed my alternator going through some water with a couple Wranglers who also lost their alternators, and ended up finishing the wheeling trip and driving home on battery, heh. The second pic of me in the rut was when I drove home with 4wd broken lol.

Where did you get your front fenders? I looked at your build thread but you don't specify the name or anything

The 2nd pic is the only time its been on a trailer and its when I 1st picked it up, parted out the front jeep. I DD mine all around the country and have more pics on FB but I'm at work. This year I almost put it into a tree in MI, almost rolled it off a cliff in GA and carried a load of wood inside of it in NC. If I break it on sat while wheeling, i need to fix it by monday to get to work. Its never let me down.

Already have axles and other crap back home Ive slowly collected but just havent had the time to really redo it with school in MI and work in NC. No way in hell I'm gonna leave my jeep in MI with the awesome trails in the southeast. 2 classes, finish my thesis, and find a job and it will be ready to go under the knife.

Mine gets driven daily, and goes on 2-300 mile wheeling trips pretty often.

Well the plan is to drive it home when done. But that doesnt always work out that way.
