abuck99: Only towed a 12ft cargo trailer around 2000 miles or so. It was starting to slip before that, I just didn't know enough to realize it! 2000uzj: I know I would regret it! I will fix it and most likely keep it. Spike555: True, fixing it seems like the best way to go. suprarx7nut: I...

Thanks everyone, starting to get a plan formulated. Thinking I should fix it up, bite the bullet ($3k ish), and get it running again, regardless of what I do afterwards. I think with the better than blue book value I can get, plus selling the Baja Rack or selling it with Baja Rack, I stand a...

I have a 7x12 cargo trailer base camp so cruiser is primarily for off road camping, touring, urban traveling, short trips, etc so I don't need to bring everything. It has a 4" topper on top, and I want...

I sleep in back of my cruiser, this is my two cents...ReflectX material is relatively expensive and bulky compared to cloth, but is well worth it because it reflects so much heat and light. I can crack windows on shade side of vehicle and with windows blocked it stays much cooler inside of...
