Those little trailers are expensive too! My wife wants one, but WOW, sticker shock for me! They are very nice and a great set-up for small family. Ironically, I've seen pics of yours before with the JK and I also have the silver Sahara and I like the silver T@B...

Do you like the way it tows behind the JK?

 

Awesome pics!! I absolutely love DV. Did you drive all the way across the Funeral Range through Echo Canyon? Some years can be a hell of a lot of fun!!

 

I guess I am one of those people. The name does it no favors. But WOW it really does look like an amazing place to spend some time.

 

Yes, they are a bit pricey considering how small they are, but they are very well made. They're made by Thor, which I think has a pretty good reputation for quality. We also considered the Fun Finder, which is a little cheaper, a little heavier, and is fully contained. The interior cabinets in the T@B are solid wood, whereas the Fun Finder is cheap paneling type stuff with plastic trim. We also looked at the Airstream Base Camp. That is a cool trailer, but it makes the price of the T@B seem cheap!

Here's some of the things that sold us on the T@B: it's aerodynamic, super light (it has handles and we can move it around super easy), does not require a brake controller (has surge brakes), excellent quality, perfect match to my JK (silver), has a permanent trailer license (no annual reg. fees), we're short enough that we can stand up in it (I think it's 5'9" inside), and it's different than almost anything else on the road.

It tows great. My husband and I split the driving time 50/50 when we travel, and I am perfectly comfortable driving with the trailer in tow. The only exception is that I'm not too good at backing it up, so I let my husband do that! The trailer seems to be well matched to the Jeep. It has no trouble towing it. We lose about 5mpg when we tow it, so that's not too bad.

 

cool pics and cool trailer

 

No, we didn't go all the way through, but I've read about that section of the trail in my "Death Valley SUV Trails" book. It says that the dry falls are Class V. I don't have the ground clearance with my 32" tires and tiny lift (or the driving skills!), but I'm sure you'd have no trouble with your rig. We met a guy in a 2-dr. Rubicon up there. He said that he talked to a guy in Furnace Creek that went all the way through. The guy in the Rubi didn't plan to attempt it either, as he was bone stock.

 

I think we might have seen you go by on the main road. I remember catching a glimse of a silver 4-dr. going by. There was a green JK in the campground, but never saw the owner around. We met some other people at Stovepipe in a silver 4-dr. X, but they're not on the forum either.

Nice pic of Echo Canyon. You're right. It doesn't look as bad as the book describes. Looks like fun...

 

Nice pic and by the looks of it, you're right - way over rated. However, I have been through some of the trails in DV after big storms like back in 97 and trails like Echo Pass and Megal Pass did become a hell of a lot more fun. Unfortunately, the parks service tries to keep these routes accessible to most and so they usually get bladed or repaired

 

Yep, it was Friday. I saw all those Jeeps in front of the restaurant too. I went over and took a video of them. Your tube doors look great. Also like the silver/black sand dune decals. I changed mine to the older palm tree decal, but I might have went with the black/silver dunes if I'd thought of that. I see too that you have Rubi wheels and tires just like me. Quite an improvement over the stock 18" wheels and Bridgestone tires huh?

 

We were there too.

Saw you pull through Panamint Springs on the Saturday, then out by Minietta Rd on the Sunday (I think).

I'll be back there April 24-26,
