    What model/make is the toolbox?

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    And then... 30 seconds after I hit "post", I find this pic online: That tongue configuration looks different than my 2018 12 foot model. Different ball lock. Different jack crank handle. (And, of course, mine has the brake controller that will be in my way.) But still, might work. Now I just...

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    I'm going to zombie this thread again. ?‍♂️ I'm looking for a lockable toolbox solution where I can keep tie-downs, bungees, wheel chocks, etc. I haven't been able to find a "tongue" toolbox that's "shallow" enough. If I measured right, with a box more than about 12" inches front-to-back, I'll...

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    Second time taking out the JJ. Our "leveling" system needs work. Oh, we got it level alright, but it took 45 minutes and darn thing kept rolling every time I lifted one corner. I finally gave up on the idea of having all four corners sitting on jack stands. Just couldn't get it to stay put...

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    Exactly. It does have the rear "foot" but it seems really flimsy and I didn't figure center-line support would help much. But... I might try the stock rear foot with the jack stands in front. The stock foot probably has less play than the tongue jack, which does have a lot. (Actually, I've...

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    Big camping trip this weekend. The JJ was amazing. Because we got the 8 ft tent with the 12 ft trailer, we have a "porch" which hauls almost all our camping gear and gives us a great place to get stuff out of the rain without bringing it inside! Hauling the RZR 800 on the the JJ South Fork...

    Yes, painful price. But never sweating the ride up is worth a lot (I found out after my jerry-rigged ramps failed).

    They're called "Big Boy". 12 feet long. 19 inches wide. https://www.discountramps.com/folding-quad-ramps/p/MF2-ATV/

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    Shake out trip this weekend. Hauling only. Didn't open the tent. Trailer pulled flawlessly on highway, off road, and home again (in pouring rain). I can tell it's heavier than my old utility trailer, but not too heavy for the Taco. Offroad it WAY out performed my old trailer. Ground clearance...

    There is a 12 foot tent. It's huge-mungous. We didn't need that much tent, but we did need that much trailer. As a bonus, we get the "porch" and some hauling storage.

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    Promised pics. Purchase day. First, and most obvious mods: Longer pulls strings for the tent cover and rubber "step grip" stuff to stop metal-on-metal when the "wings" are folded in.

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    Problem is that even at 10 feet, I'm very close to bottoming out on the break-over angle (mostly because of the 3 inch drop as soon as the front wheels are on the trailer). So, I'm looking at 12 foot ramp$$$. A steal ramp that big would weigh a ton and not be much cheaper. I think I'm just going...

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    I had a hair-raising time tonight trying to load our RZR 800 onto the JJ for the first time. I picked up some 7.5 foot aluminum ramps rated for 750 each (so, 1500 pounds, right?!). They were too short. I did a little hardware store fabrication and added some wood to make them 10.5 feet. Got the...

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    I looked around for used for about six months, but never found anything in the size I wanted. And used is not all that cheaper than new for these things. (Same problem I had when I bought my Tacoma.) I haven't taken delivery yet, but, as it develops, there will be pics. Oh yes. There will be pics.

    2007 Jumping Jack Build

    Reviving this thread! Just bought my JJ. Picking it up next week. 6x12 with an 8' tent. We'll be hauling a RZR 800 on top. Camping in Summit County, CO, I'm 100% sure I'll need to level it out more than the factory jacks will do. @Semi-Hex do you have any project pics of how you attached your...
