What do you tow with?

Here's mine, 2005 Ford F350 just a base model truck but its paid for. 6.8L, auto, oh and its got a factory trailer brake controller

plan to get a trailer of my own around tax time or maybe sooner, never know
When I first bought it, it had this work light on it. It was cool, fun during drunken parties however it wouldn't fit in my garage so it had to go..

I put down some bed liner

and added a badlands front plate

how it looks these days, I got used to the light on top, I took it off and it looks naked.

I'm currently trying to decide if I want to do a small enclosed and make living quarters up front, (and keep it with in the truck's weight limits) or just get a open single place car trailer which is most likely the route I will go..

question is, what do you want to haul on the trailer.
i've seen several "hybrid" trailers with a small cab/box up front and an open deck out back.

Thats a really neat idea, however if I would go to a enclosed trailer it would be a full enclosed trailer. I would only be hauling my YJ or KJ. Neither at the same time..

I can see some benefits to the hybrid design, especially if the rig to be towed is of an oversized nature, or gets particularly dirty. you could also have a narrower box, sized to the inside of the fenders instead of the outside. just that much could make a difference in some cases in terms of ease of use/visibility.

Yeah but it would nice to have a enclosed heated/air conditioned portable garage to work on your junk in if you break something on the trail..

Nice, thats what I need so I can move my own arse wherever I go. (Seem to be moving alot lately) Between the roof rack, back of the jeep and the flexibility of that trailer... doo doo it all still wont fit

For you,

Id think open trailer as who knows how tall your toys may get... just my thought.

yeah I agree, that would be my only limit, the height and width of the trailer door opening.

yea, that's why I'd think a hybrid might be more useful. plus if you really need weather protection, some creativity with some popup tents or something that folds/rolls/accordions out from the box could be made to work. I was thinking about that last night... some kind of skeleton framework that comes off the back of the box and legs into pockets near the back of the deck, then a top and sides that just roll out like a retractable screen would.

What do you tow with?
