No one makes tire basket straps for 40" tires so I had to make my own. The other plus of the dolly is that if I break something I can still get it home; not always an option with flat towing.. | I had previously flat towed this rig, but, when I shifted to 40" tires I wasn't confident that the tracking/return to center would be sufficient so the dolly became a good solution. | Acme Tow Dolly modified with a 6000lbs axle vice the 3000lbs axle it came with. | Back from a 20mi test tow, absolutely no issues, smooth, straight and perfect tracking. We'll see how much different that is with a 5000lbs offroad jeep.. |
I purchased an ACME EZE Tow Dolly used on CL, the owner had already modified it by changing the main tube to accept either a drop or straight hitch coupler and he added a brake away switch for electric brakes. It's a 2015 model year so not much use on it. I don't care for the small 10" tires and how low it sets but the overall construction is very good and I don't have a lot invested in it...yet. | I had been a little concerned about the ability of the rear jacks capacity...but...they are rated for 8500lbs each and didn't seem to flinch in pushing the rear up the 5" to get it level | rear jacks deployed, again the drivers side has more extension but both rears are much more extended to make up the slope in my driveway | front leveling jacks deployed, the drivers side of my driveway is a lot lower so you can see it is extended quit a bit more |
(2 Comments) while it just looks like a switch panel, there are also 20 diodes in there as well to make it work right and use the limit switches to illuminate the lower lights of the switch if the jack isn't in the fully up position. | This is the original relay panel for the Power Plus system, the only change I made to it was to remove a large power resister and install a fuse holder instead. | This is my new controller, I cut the face plate out of the old box and inserted the Carling Rocker switches. | This is the original controller for the Power Plus system, it was completely shot. |
