Bought this barely used '06, in '06, and saved a ton of $$ over a new one. Still spent too much though, but it keeps the wife happy.

Three years of flat towing and 2 sets of tires for the Jeep. Hoping to have a trailer by next spring.

Still loving my paycheck tow rig. Picked up a trailer in Dec. of last year and then picked up another Heep in April for wifey. I am not too hip on the idea of pulling a double from the bumper so only one is getting trailered at a time.

My hauler with my TJ and buddies XJ headed to Mt. Aetna. Loooooove the Cummins. Kinda wish I had the DRW sometimes when towing but its nice around town. This is my heaviest to date. 21,600lbs, rear axle was 5400.

This was my largest. 10' Dia. Only weighed 3k lbs. Still only averaged 9mpg on the way back from TX to GA.
