Can you post pics when installed?

 

Not in New England, but in Old Florida :-) We'll having a pig roast for over 100 people on 18-May! Only requirement is that your JEEP be top- and doorless :-)

 

Very nice installation! I am working on mine :-) How difficult is it to hook it up after backing up to it since you don't have just a ball to drop onto?

 

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm far from having a nice install but slowing getting there. Its not difficult at all, but be easier after the jack is installed, I normally get close as possible and left and slide the draw bar to the jeep receiver. I have also seen where you can remove the pin in the middle (the one with the safety cotter in my previous pic) and drop the coupler once the hole aligns. There's a setup vid on that would make more sense and can be found via a Google search "Max Coupler Set Up", it's ~1:17 long. If you can't find it I can send you the link via PM, not sure if I can post it - haven't read the rules in awhile

Please post pics of your progress.

 

camera lighting was terrible, ill try and get better pics when I drag the trailer out.. I think they would have looked better flipped upside down but they have license plate lighting on the bottom so I didn't.

 

Thanks for the link! In the video they show the guy moving the trailer back and forth with one hand during alignment!?! My trailer will not move freely like that; it's too heavy! So, the hook-up will be a pain! I will install a back-up cam :-)
BTW, my trailer is not an ex-military. I found this one (completely aluminum) just before I was to buy my M-type.

 

That's a great trailer!

 

Indeed, fancy...all aluminum and still too heavy? Huh. I have to delay pick up on mine til next sat, downer - was supposed to take the family wheeling sat and sun. That's OK though, wife doesn't know it yet but it just turned into a sun-mon trip!

Thanks for the bulb numbers, I picked em up at wallyworld already. I had a YouTube video tagged that had them as well but it wouldn't load in the store (jk forum came thru though)

 

Nice trailer. Regarding the one hand connection, I'm assuming he was already close to aligning all up. BTW, I connected mine the day of this post without a wheel on the tongue and connected with the Jeep within a minute or less.
