My coleman Colorado. I rebuilt it from the frame up this spring and took it to Wyoming and back this summer. The jeep did start to over heat on long passes into the wind. But it always came right down after cresting the pass.

Boats with a Cabin?
All
I am moving soon, and hope to buy a boat with a small cabin inside - but I also want a JKU. So my question for you all is: does anyone have both and can they post a picture? I know JKUs can't tow alot, but I wondered if there are any boats light enough that still manage to have a cabin too.
Thanks!

My x-star (pictured above) weighs in at 5100 dry. After putting 35gallons of gas (about 220lbs) plus another 100 in gear, plus let's say 200 for trailer. Roughly 5620total.
I tow it twice a year. Once to dock it and once to bring it home. Only use the jk if I can't find a truck to use. It struggles so much even for my 20mile trip. Not to bad flat. But the lake I go to is in the mountains.
What I'm trying to say is good luck. Buy a jku with a hemi.

They are great trailers thats for sure. The Evolution designers had to have been thinking about jeeps when they were designing them. I don't know if I could tow an E3 over the mountains out here.
