Why not? Thanks for watching and commenting.

Ur welcome but those are nice cars back in the day

Thanks for reply, sorry it took me so long to reply, I saw that there was a comment, but it wasn't visible. Thanks for your feedback too.

@@javierleon5121 I'm sorry, I have since sold the Jeep.

interesting, this video was following a 2005 TJ with a 4.0 inline 6. I have not heard of a terminator ax-15, nor have I heard of matching it to a Pentestar. Thanks for the comment

@DunnageGarage The Rockland Standard Gear Terminator AX-15 is a direct replacement for the Aisin AX-15, 5-speed, medium-duty transmission, the New Venture Gear NV3550 5 speed manual transmission, and the NSG370 six speed manual transmission. It will seamlessly install into any Wrangler TJ with the aforementioned transmissions. A special bellhousihg will also make fitment into a JK possible. With the end of OEM parts production for the New Venture Gear NV3550, many do not even repair the once venerable NV3550 and instead choose the Rockland Standard Gear Terminator AX-15. At times, it has also been seen as referred to as the Terminator NV3550. But, I believe that is an incorrect designation. The Terminator AX-15 is made using Toyota gears and synchornisers for continued support for decades to come. This way what happened with the New Venture Gear NV3550 when New Venture Gear met it end, will not happen with the Terminator AX-15.

The owner provided the spacers for the install. I believe they were found on amazon.

You are welcome, thanks for watching, and taking the time to comment.

You don't like my light-up signpost? I use it primarily at expos. this trip took place over Halloween, I had it out for the campground trick or treaters. Thanks for watching.

Great information, thanks for the comment.

I found these at a local Walmart a few years back. I do have a set of color changing rock lights I will be putting on a camper in the near future. I'll be doing an install video on them too.. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for sharing your method! That's a great work-around.. However on both of my trailers I couldn't open or close the tailgate with the trailer attached. That's why I had to also extend my hitch lengths too.

@XtremeXJ Great ideas, in my case I did raise the spare tire to fit an oversized tire, it just wasn't enough for the trailer. I would love to swap the spindles to match the Jeep. However, the trailer tires are almost too big at 29" for the trailer. The Jeep runs 35's so a second spare is still needed. Thanks for the comment!

@2-old-Forthischet thanks for commenting, for me a tandem axle isn't practical.

I'll have to check that out, thanks.

I'm glad you found the video helpful, thanks for the tip. I did check the receiver on the Jeep, it looked to be good.

My issue was the weight bending the receiver extension. Air bags or stiffer springs would help with the rear suspension droop.

Sorry to hear about your experience with the hitch. Thanks for commenting.

If you were to take it apart they should have used a bushing. Most bushings are a soft metal and they need to be replaced. The rule is if it needs grease or moves. It's either a bushing or bearings. Play would make me think bushing. Nylon is the fastest wearing bushing style and the easiest to replace.

We looked at adding a couple of RotoPax fuel cans back there on longer trips.

Interesting ideas, they would have worked for relocating the weight. However, when I am on the road, the Jeep is packed pretty tight. Putting the spare tires in the Jeep isn't an option for me. Thanks for the comment though.

@DunnageGarage not inside just reworked the bracket to move it up a few inches and create the room around your receiver.

Thank you!

Sounds like a great build. Unfortunately, there isn't much room to move things around on the teardrop. But I am doing the best I can. Sounds like you have quite the build going. Good luck, and thanks for watching.

It is great to here from another Nebraskan too. At very least we ought to meet up sometime, hit me up. I'll reach out when I plan my next trip.

We live in Omaha so not to far away. Would like to meet up and would be interested in a trip. My wife and I did a mile hi Jeep club all for fun this year and it was a great time. Been thinking about more overlanding vs rock crawling.

@@terrytiemeyer9062 I've started moving from rock crawling to Overland adventures too. As for upcoming events, I will be going to Moore Overland Expo in Springfield Mo again April 25-26, 2025. The rest of the year is still in planning. Drop me an email and ill add you to a mailing list for upcoming events. You can also get more information or contact me at www.patreon.com/DunnageGarage or www.dunnagegarage.com. All-4-Fun is an amazing event. I have done it a couple of times over the years, and would love to do it again. BTW, we are located in Grand Island, Omaha is a easy meet up sometime.

I looked at that hitch too. Thanks for watching.

Tighter, less slop, quieter, and [Edit:] more than likely lighter. A pintle hitch coupler, mount plate, donut, can be pretty heavy, at least the ones we were using at work were. Cheers.

It's able to keep the trailer from rolling forward and back when you start and stop. It also has the ability to not slide your vehicle to the side when the play is taken out. My 14k dump trailer slides my truck around when stopping if I forget to turn up the brakes so that the trailer is stopping the truck. And trying to back is impossible when it shifts. Yes I can do it just always have to pull forward when it shifts because most of the time you will not be able to turn out of it.

I'm glad the video helped. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching, I'm glad it's helpful. Thanks you for the comment and compliment.

Thanks, great idea.

Gotta love some sparks

Great to hear from you Rose. All is going good.

@@ironwayneify I've never had an issue with moisture. Thanks for commenting.

We just used the factory suggested power steering fluid. Thanks for watching.

Sounds like quite the adventure.

The trailer does change the way you travel. I'm not sure I have heard about an "alternate" route, tell me more.

This has turned into one of my favorites too. Did I miss anything so far? I am working on part 2 right now. Thanks for watching.

Thank you.

It's a wireless remote. The older m8000 used a hard wired remote that you plugged into the winch. This plugs into the same spot, but with increased freedom from not having a cord. Thanks for watching.

Wow, that's cool. Thank you for reaching out. We were coming home from running the RimRocker trail.

Your welcome, good luck

Your right, however, I think I mentioned that it was cheaper to buy the part instead of all the pieces to try making one. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Yess sir..👍

Thanks for watching. Yep the rack will hold all 50 states. Almost 1/2 done with this Jeep.

Thanks for watching, how did your steering box go?

@mjcdetroit It's been a few years since I made that video, adding the fork, bearing probably added less than $50 to the clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and machining the flywheel...however the time spent was huge...doing and redoing it as many times as we did.
