Hey everyone, I'm not sure this is the best forum for it, but I guess I'll start here. Mods, please move this thread if you need to.
So I have a 2021 JLUR that we like to take offroading at a park about 60 miles away from home. We always take the top and doors off for the Summer, and running a whole 60 mile trip like that, offroading for a day, then driving home can be a bit tiring. I recently bought a car trailer for some other uses, and I'm thinking we can use it to take the Jeep to the offroad park too. I have a bit of experience tying cars to trailers, but not a ton. The pics show the truck with a 615lb weight sitting directly against the tailgate of the truck, so its a bit misleading as to the effect of the tongue weight. The truck also has Timbren springs in the rear, so that also affects how it looks, but it doesn't seem to mind having the tongue weight in any of these scenarios.
Regardless of how the truck takes the trailer, I want to get some opinions on where to place the JL on the trailer, and how to best tie it down. The weight in the bed will be gone before we do any towing. Its there for counterweight for my snow plow, and we don't take the JL offroad until well after snow season.
What do you guys have for opinions on where the JL should be on the trailer? And please let me know the best way to tie the JL to the trailer.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can lend!!!
