I’d rather go 4H until I need 4L. NC beach sand is best traveled in 4H. I can shift to 4H without rolling in the unlikely event I need to. Sorry, I was thinking out loud and being a little tongue in cheek with my previous post. Edit for typo: I meant to say "I can shift to 4L without rolling".

Rolling very slowly in N while shifting is gonna be difficult in some of the 4L situations I can see myself getting into. As in soft beach sand where further forward motion is unlikely.

I actually think my 6 cyl with automatic trans should do everything I want it to just fine with the regular towing package. The regular towing package is totally capable and respectable. I won't be maxing out any limits anyway. My purpose here was just to hear others' towing experiences so...

I think "Swiss Army Knife of trucks" is a decent analogy, and the size is perfect for what I wanted. I'll add that Gladiators look a lot better doing those things that they do better than most. Now if Jeep comes up with a full-size convertible truck with a body that gives a knod to the...

I saw one recently on the interstate as it passed me and I was not impressed with the looks. That said, I didn't think the sports looked all that good even in the Ford promotional media. I've got a feeling that the real Broncos will have a better presence. I have no interest in giving up my...

My daughter and me.

Don't feel bad. I got a small crack in mine less than a week after driving it off the lot! It was a rock kicked up by a big truck that passed me just about a mile after getting on the interstate for the first time. It turns out I've got full repair/replacement with no deductible with my...

I don't know about the order of the others, but my number one favorite and most enjoyed by far is the Bestop Sunrider for hardtop in Twill. Others I have done: -Bestop Twill roll up tonneau cover -Stubby antenna (just for auto car washes) -Home made fishing rod holder with integrated cutting...

Thanks, the response is appreciated - I agree with you on several things. One is that I believe my auto trans will help, and also that 6,000 dry is more than I would ask a truck this size to pull regardless of the package. I'm keeping my choices limited to <4,800 dry and <480 tongue, and I can...

Cool boat and truck! Thanks for that info - it’s interesting that you can pull that much weight around even locally without the WDH or bar. I’ll bet they’d make a world of difference, especially on the highway and in the wind. Anyway, that’s the absolute top loaded trailer limit for my truck...

Conventional wisdom would say they’re the same. BUT - All I know is that if you dumped a ton of anvils and a ton of feathers out of a plane at the same time, the anvils would probably beat the feathers to the ground. Not sure how that applies to trailering, but it seems as relevant as a...

I didn't see that picture when I first saw your post. That thing is cool as heck!

Yes those are both nice. I guess I should have mentioned that my wish list for a travel trailer includes a north/south bed with access on either side, a real bathroom in the rear, and tandem wheels because I like the stability they provide. I know those things narrow down my options, but...

I'm going to be looking for a travel trailer sometime later this year, and I don't have Max Tow. I do have the normal tow package. To read through the various threads, you'd think there's nothing but Max Tow for towing anything bigger than a bike rack. I beg to differ. I think I should be...

Black lug nuts on the stock sport wheels

I really do like that color. If a Nacho had been on the lot beside my Gator, then I might have had a more difficult time choosing.

I can vouch for the seller of that badge. I got two from them that say "Beach Rated" and the quality is superb. Yes it's expensive for what it is, but you'd think it was a real Jeep-made badge if you didn't know better. You Jeepers going through the blizzard this week have definitely earned...

I have to mention both, but only because my feeling has changed 180 degrees since I bought it. First of all I wanted a Jeep, and the idea that I could tow a 4,000 lb trailer with it was what made me take the Jeep leap. Then I found that I've not had a need for towing but I've found so...

In this thread we're debating Jeep hoods, nail clippings, and fried pickles all at the same time. Just an observation. ?

Lots of waves in my neck of the woods.
