    And he is not just tooting his own horn. He did really well with that trailer, even made it past a stump cleanly, both he and the trailer, that I did some carnage on (another tail light lens bites the dust and some bent sheet metal on the diesel).

    And he isn't kidding about clutch smoke, you should have seen it rolling out every crevice in the dash!

    Went and picked up some more metal. Going to add a section to the "rear" frame to put tow points on, and make some quarter guards as well.

    Went to work on the trailer today. Got the rear bumper finished, turned out real nice. Receiver is tucked in close and can access the hitch pin easily behind the bumper skin. Also mocked up the quarter guards as well. They will work for what they need to do for Rubicon, weather they will get modified or changed later we'll see.

    The trailer made it through Rubicon! Did well. The cruiser pulled it great. I can't believe how well it did. I don't think I can top driving a sprung under wagon and pulling a trailer through the Rubicon Trail.

    ...unless it's going the other way through the trail. Let's Go!

    You didn't already forget about pulling a trailer through Rubicon while also pulling a wounded wagon behind the trailer did you.....

    Oh I didn't forget that. Doing that put a lot of things to the test, and it all held up well.
