Default A few things that irk me

1. 'Bikers' that trailer their motorcycles to events.
2. 'Gearheads' that trailer their hotrods to shows.
3. 'Jeepers' who claim to be 'Jeepers', then trailer theirs to the trails.

Now I know 'sometimes' there are extenuating circumstances, just don't like it when people don't even have faith in their own equipment. Getting there is usually some of the best memories.

Boy, am I gonna take a beating for this thread...

Getting there I don't think is the problem some people have... it may be getting home! Stuff breaks, and bringing a trailer may save an expensive tow bill!

Not to mention some hotrods/jeeps/etc may not exactly be street legal in some states that they would drive through to get to an event

Wow you took take seriously , if you read the OP's post he said that people who trailer their jeep to events irk him and there is nothing wrong with towing your jeep to event because if it breaks you be glad you did .

So I made a joke about the grocery thing and you took it way to personal

Comin along nicely. I've got the transfer case now and rear bell housing. Looking for a cheap enough front axle and drive shafts to fall into my lap. Then i'll order the input shaft and shifter linkage.

Hopefully by year's end this time around to doing the full install.

Building my front axle took more time then then I was hoping , but I wanted it done right the first time , all I need now is the tail housing and 4wd shifter

This. Hours or more from home and miles off the beaten path, I am always more cautious knowing it is a long way back home, the Jeep is going to have to get back there, and I have to be at work Monday.

That has me avoiding some attempts I might go for if it was trailered.
