Larry, First congratulations and very nice looking truck. Just a word of advice. I used to give a seminar at the ECR concerning that very issue and you will be surprised on how easy it is to unload/overload the front axle or rear axle based simply on lever arms and fulcrums. Please, please don’t just take someone’s word for it that it will be okay. Do the math yourself, it’s pretty simple and in fact if you have any aviator friends it’s a simple weight and balance. The worst thing to do is remove the second drive axle then find you are marginal for doing the things you want to do now or later. Heck, when we started in 2009, no one gave a thought to singling because everyone was carrying Smart cars at 1600 lbs. was hard to impossible to cause an axle problem. Lots of difference between that and a vehicle that weighs 4-5X that weight, a drom and other things you will find you don’t want to live without. That’s why I remained tandem…for future needs. I’ve even seen some folks are considering “stackers” on their vehicles. As a community, our safety record is pretty good and the regulators/Leo’s are not too concerned with us. If the safety record declines, guarantee that will change. You have gone about this the right way and I applaud you. I’m getting old so please take this as some fatherly advice and my hope is you don’t find it meddlesome or offensive. BTW that talk is in a PowerPoint format that I could send to you if you would like it. Talks about how to calculate effects of singling short, mid, or long and other tid bits. I will say I stole the talk from Mark Shelby with his permission so he did all the legwork, lol. -
I saw this picture on the Escapee Facebook as posted by someone who is there. It was about 8 am on Thursday morning. That is TX 146. -

I’m told it will, but I doubt it would have the capacity with water / black water tanks. I’m thinking will will get pillow tanks that we can store when empty and then fill when the Jeep is off. -

Nice looking truck! Will the single axle carry the load with the Jeep? I carry a Subaru Crosstrek along with a 100 gallon water tank and a 100 gallon waste tank. I was afraid the single axle would be overloaded. -
Congratulations on the truck and trailer. Didn’t make it to the rally again this year
