Jake, watch your tongue weight on the trailer. The extended hitch will put much much more leverage on the bumper, as well as how the bumper is mounted to the Jeep. Watch those areas for cracking. Extending the tongue on the trailer itself would have accomplished the same results, but not put the leverage on the bumper like the extended hitch will.
+insaynbcr. Moving the pintle pivot point so far back will also make the trailer very difficult to control under heavy braking. Not good, I would have mounted the carrier on the trailer.
As it was very nice if them to help Jake out. The other reason they should have extended the tongue rather then the hitch is the purpose of a trailer like that is to go almost anywhere on a trail that the jeep can go by extending the hitch the break over/under angle will limit how the jeep goes down exiting a steep hill and drag through the exit. I wish I had as good of fab skills as that guy though!!! My welds don't look near as good. Safe travels Izzi and Jake
Did anyone else notice the Sailing La Vagabonde shirt??? That was an awesome family, keep up the great work, have fun and don’t miss out on life. Safe travels
Jacob and David are freak'n awesome, gives me hope in humanity out here-there's still great people in this world after all! You three are living the dream you lucky devil!! Guys enjoy your trip, we lived in Sedona for about 13 years and miss it everyday!! Be safe out there, enjoy the journey.. Keep em coming!!!
I hate to be that guy. Mainly your first immediate problem will be the raker effect pertaining to departure angles, once that gets hung up it will begin to mess up your bumper because of all the leverage. Secondly, the load on your bumper needs to be as close to it’s mounts as you can get it. It’s very important that there be a heavy extendable/retractable/removable slip hitch on the trailer once you leave the highway, explore off-road trailers and you will see how they are done. Best of luck.
Awesome set-up Jake. Big thank you to David and Jacob...thats someone to be friends with and to learn from. So I'm just gonna say it...the beds more supportive so your night time extracurricular activities can be done without worry. Lol got it. Thank you again for sharing. Take care.
Run 2 peices of chain from the ball to the d-rings on the back bumper. It will add some extra strength similar to how they do it for superhitches on slide in campers.
I get in my car after shopping to discover yet another huge door ding. Then while driving home I get cut off multiple times. These videos give me faith back in humanity. Its good to see good people still exist out there!
Jake you adventure is so cool..there’s so many kind people out there that are willing to give a hand up David and Jacobs are some of them out there that are willing to help. Be safe out there!
Wow keep up the good work! This series has been so fun to watch. I always love coming home from school and getting ready to see what you have done with Jade. The Jeep has been looking so cool, that it is making me want to buy one and modify it. Hope this series never ends!
The extended hitch looks awesome but you should really address that wiring for the trailer. Even if you don't add the brake controller right away you can put the 7pin connecter into the jeep or bumper. I'm surprised it hasn't caused you a problem yet with it dangling and banging against stuff like that. If you were in Ohio I'd totally hook you up. Safe travels bro!
so sad i cant be out there tomorrow morning for the group meet up 😭 i have my last college class of the semester, but best of luck to you in AZ 😊😊 taking my jeep out fot the first time tomorrow night down at sycamore, youve been an inspiration 😊
New to the channel, but I just wanted to say that the quality of the editing and filming of all your videos is amazing. I think you're going to have a great journey and you should hit up Miami one day.
Dude love the trailer and great set up . And been wondering if u ever would add a trailer adds alot more storage . But it does add one more thing to worry about . I e the trailer hitch . Glad u got it figured out . And really glad and happy it didn't happen on the road .
Sweet brother. Hopefully you guys see Sedona. There's badass trails. I didn't get to check out the Vortex area but hopefully you film it if you go. Trailer looks badass. Safe travels brottthhheerrrrrr.
Hey Jake....if you make it into northern NM, USA feel free to swing by and we can help you out as well. We have a warehouse full of jeep parts, mechanics, and professional welders! Heck, we will take you out to see remote indian ruins, the Rio Grande, and 12k mountains!
Wish more people were like Dave and Jacob. Some good fellas. So refreshing.

Hey Jake, have you ever thought of getting a small pop-up camper or teardrop camper? Some weigh well under 1000 lbs.
A Sailing LaVagabonde merch T-shirt spotted in the wild on Dave!
There's like 0 traveling/living off the grid coverage now. It's all JEEP modification/fixes/upgrades.
99% of it apparently.
