Last year I have been looking a used bone stock jeep to flat tow behind my Tuck Camper. One day I visited a jeep forum under classified section and I saw this Jeep for sale. It's been there for over two months unsold. DW and I drove 150 miles test drive it and took it home. Here it is. It's a beautiful jeep with 55k miles.
A 2005 Jeep Wrangler LJ Unlimited Sahara Rubicon, In 2005, Paramount released the movie Sahara which featured a Jeep Wrangler. As a way to build off the success of the movie, Jeep released a limited production Sahara Edition Rubicon. Only 1000 were produced and each one is numbered. My badge number is 0337.
Here is the bone stock picture of the Jeep
Now I need a tandem trailer to pull it behind because this Jeep is humongous with 35 inch tire lifted at 6 inches

Sweet Ride, times must be tough. I still blame DW for my selling my 1985 CJ7 and that was 20 years ago.

I like that body style so much better than the JK style. Obviously though, since I'm a CJ guy.
Are you going to rig a tow bar for the bumper clevis mounts and flat tow, or trailer it?

Nice rig. Seems to me...the common set-up for off-roaders is truck camper and Jeep (4x4) in tow. At least it is with the gang i hang around with.

I am going to get a trailer since this thing is heavy and requires a brake which is the expensive part if done right.

Nice Jeep, you'll love it.
I almost always trailer my rig, makes it way easier to back up and take the pieces home after a rough trail.
