I like the site, but honestly this one's far better.
Yes, they can be serious a**holes. but they also know everything about any car that came with four wheel drive.
to avoid flaming over there, do a *****load of searching before posting a question.
Also- a fun read is the " biggest loads" thread in the towing truck forum.
one guy had two jeeps on a trailer, and the back one would've been hanging off...
If it wasnt held up by the jack stands. lol

yes they are ruthless over there, but to be honest they are toned way the heck down! when i first joined several years ago it was MUCH smaller and they were 10x more ruthless. they are quite tame. if you can wade through the BS they really are a very knowledgeable group. i've learned more over there about trucks in general than anywhere else!

if you want good info you have to grow a thick skin and ignore the bickering and cussing

Yep, same here. Just a lurker.

Lots of good tech stuff on there, but the guys that are rude and crude ruin it for the entire site.

The people here have been very good to me as a Newbie!

Here are the 2 I built.

What is up with that one in front of you on the trail? It looks like a jeep with a serious frame extension.

Nice rigs.
I've been finding that the guys on yotatech are just as jerky at times, often without answering the question. Much like pirate.

I noticed that too Neal. It looks like that Heep is towing a nice off road trailer. But if it was you'd think the trailer bed would be more in line with the axle.

Look at the tires on the passenger side. There are no rear tires if that is a trailer. SERIOUS Frame extension!
