...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
after wheeling the dusy with a small offroad trailer i swore it off. it was convienent until someone flopped and had to be recovered. then it was a HUGE hassle.

i ran an old military .25 ton trailer, dont remember the M#. we were going up thompson hill and one of our group was posing for a picture flexed out and thought he just could roll over the rock. he ended up flopping. i pulled around get past him and flip around so i could use my winch to get him back on all 4's. trying to back up after i got hung up once (1 ton jeep on 42's and plenty of power) i tried to go back forward. a rock got wedged in between the tongue and my rear quarter after the trailer jack knifed. i was planning on unhooking the trailers, even though loaded with all our gear, was atleast 1500lbs including trailer. i know more than you think but less than i had planned. there was a few more times that i used it and the coupler would get hung up and not flex or i would have to back up a couple feet to squeeze between 2 trees and the trailer made it very difficult. at one point i unhooked it, drove up the DIRT HILL and turned around and just drug the damn thing up it with a strap. you might think a regular locked up jeep is pretty capable, try adding in a trailer... even empty running around johnson valley i would never use one again.
*edit* i used a 360* rotating pintle hitch in a raised receiver hitch in my bumper to tow it. i looked and cant find any pics of it on our new computer.
Got it! I know the Dusy and JV are tuff by any stds. I drag a canadain army trailer, same as us army quarter ton behind my rig but generally on trips where I base locate and return at night. Last time was at Anzeo borego down by the Salton Sea.
