The rest of the money is going to other JK things, but I'm really excited none the less. Here's the demo video on youtube if anyone isn't familiar with it.

http://youtu.be/PQvMNt-wtK4 I found a thread on another forum somewhere, a guy had put used 31's, a 2.5" BS wheel, a different receiver, different trailer fenders and wheeled with it pretty well. I'm not sure what my plans will be, but I look forward to getting out camping with it!

It helps fill the void of not owning a pickup to get firewood, trips to home depot, or any other shit I need to haul around. I think this will work out perfect for us.

I'll try to post as much information I can about it for other people who may be interested.
that looks awesome. Now you can take everything you need and sleep like a king after a day on the trail. Cool idea. I have a fifth wheel...but no way to take the Jeep and do some camping (when you have a wife, 2 kids, a dog and all of the stuff needed) without buying a trailer. I will look into these.

I always liked these and that's a killer price. I looked at jumping jack trailers which are the same thing I think. I was quoted almost $8000. Too rich for me.
