Here is a pic of one in action, and watch for some more pictures and modifications to the TJ in order to pull it nicely.

Well, after seeing it hooked up to your rig, I was astounded at how well it looked and how little it squatted the back of the rig.

I am happy you decided to go and look at it after I visited it yesterday. The fit, finish, quality and how well thought out it is makes a lot of the alternatives out there seem like home built garage projects in comparison.

The locking surge brake that runs actual calipers instead of drum brakes is a nice touch as well. Much simpler to work on although I didn't see a real easy way to bleed them should you ever need to.

I will say that I've seen lighter duty frames under 20' boat trailers. That frame is ridiculously overbuilt for a sub 2000 lb trailer.

I am looking forward to helping you shave a few pounds off of it.
