it was half@$$'d if you wanted to know...
i only did it to shut people up...
 
Dan you are the MAN!!! Thank you very much!!!......:gag:
 
looks like fun!


cant back your truck and trailer up your driveway?
 
you should see the driveway (15 to 20 degree slope)... then the narrow path between the house and the fence that bearly fits the trailer and the almost 90 degree turn into the back yard... looking forward would be very beneficial :D

btw never seen you do that... thats making good use of the front reciever!

good pics, i think im going to have to stop by and get some more though, fulsize for my collection :D and i need some more motion pics :D
 
Dan, you def. made people happy, you don't have to post up all 487 pictures from every trip every time. lol. Thanks bud.

...can't back up that hill with a 2wd open diff. diesel truck!
heck, i have to get a running start with just the truck..., because there's gravel the last 1/3 of the driveway as you cut around the house...

and yes, the front receiver is Awesome!!! seeing where you're going is much easier, much more manuverable... and definetly worh seeing!

the XJ in 4low does great!!! about 1600rpm, it goes right up...
 
Wow. That's cool Dan. I always wondered what good a "front" receiver was. Now I know.
 
I've got a couple gigs of space to post pics if needed. can browser or email upload.

I assume you got the house before the jeep then? Quite interesting. never seen that before. I imagine rear steer would help.
 
don't need rear steer... having the trailer pivot, almost the same place as the steering, is Plenty! it takes small turns of the wheel to point the trailer where you want it to go...

i will eventually upload my pics...

i have come up with an idea for sharing pics though... more on that later.
