So I got this:  It's a '17 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk w/ the Trailhawk Luxury Group (adaptive cruise, leather/suede interior, bi-xenon headlights, pano sunroof, etc.) and the 5.7L Hemi.  It actually looked like this when I picked it up, complete with roof-rails, old-man-side-steps, faded...

Went and picked this thing up, because apparently I really, really like Grand Cherokees (we had a '16 High Altitude 5.7 Hemi, I've had 2 WJs including the one I still have, and my wife's car is a '18 Trackhawk):  It's a 2017 Trailhawk with about 26k miles and has the Trailhawk Luxury Group...

I towed a LE3505+2' (about 40' total) and a Genesis Envy 34A (38' 2 or 3" total,. but very heavy for the size) with over 3300lbs pin-weight, might have been over 3500, with my '11 Chevy Silverado 2500HD crew cab standard bed and it worked extremely well.  Speaking of beds, time for a TJ rant...

Finally got the WJ back out to do some more testing.  All-in-all it works great.  It's incredibly comfortable to drive on the pavement, cruises along at 80 MPH like a regular soccer-Mom Grand Cherokee, then does stuff like this: To be fair, I didn't drive all the way over right there, I was...

Wow, looking forward to seeing the fully completed pics. So, this isn't at our house, but on our RV lot (soon to be for sale 😉 )  I probably have some more pics.  There are bar stools on the opposite side behind the fire bowl (which was actually a big built-in wok when this was...

Super cool rig, you nailed the stance/look (other than the last pic 😉 ).  I really dig the rear fender openings just being brought straight back for the axle relocation, some might not like it, but I dig it.   The first time your credit card melts you're in! 😉 Do it, do it!  Buy it back, that...

I'm looking at the same issue with my RV garage right now (existing structure on the property I bought, but I want to add some things).  I've spoken to a few 'experts' and one possibility is a remote sealed system that then pumps over to the existing septic via macerator.  I'm not even sure what...

That is about 55' long.  I plan to have full hookups there... and if you happen to have a trailer with you we'll open the gate and that'll work too. 😉 -TJ  

The writing has been on the wall for a long time, and we've been thinking of getting out of CA for years now.  I was born in Santa Cruz and have lived my entire life in CA other than 1.5 years just before college, and a few years in "interesting" places (both bad and good) for work.  I still...

I got in on one of these: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/elechive-portable-universal-super-power-station/x/25314191#/ when buy-in was like $1049.  I might see it around when I see my Speed UTV, in 2042 lol.  It's more intended for my Broverlanding though, IDK about using it with a trailer or...

They're certainly asking "all the money" for that one.  I love that they use the good old "won't last long" line in their post, but I've seen it in my Stacker searches for some time now.  It's nice, but not a belly-lift, no mention of fuel or water, etc.  -TJ

I have a few words on the topic, and have taken my WJ build pretty far (was detailed here before the crash).  In the end, I really love it, and it works exceptionally well - until I try to tow the trailer through the high-desert grades in 100+ ambient temps, then I have to watch the temps and...

The Super C we decided on was a 2021 Thor Magnitude (same as an Omni) SV34.  I had really wanted an Isata 5 28SS because it was even shorter, but it just brought WAY too many compromises.  We loved a LOT of things about that SV34.  The floorplan really made the most out of the length. ...

I've had a few RVs.  I started with a '09 Fleetwood Southwind 34G (Gas, Class A), then a '17 Newmar Dutch Star 4018 (Diesel Pusher Class A), then went back to a 5'er for a minute, then a '21 Thor Magnitude SV34 (Diesel Super C, factory 4x4 on the F550 platform), and now back in a '19 Newmar...

How it looks, for now... -TJ
