    Sure. Can allways use help on gas too. Was nice back in the day when I could drive to Llano, wheel 2 days, drink a 30 pack, buy food, and make it back under $100.

    i am going to check on the 2 car hauler tomorrow(tues), I should be able to get it(bumper pull 2 5/8inch ball). The only problem is that it is kind short. It was a homemade job that he made for his 2 jeeps. I will have to measure it and see. How long is your cj8(bumper to bumper and wheel base). We might have to put a short jeep and one of ours on that trailer(such as cody's) and the other of the two on cody's trailer?? I will weasure it and see, any ideas. Who is going to pull it.

    I'm not gonna haul a bronco and my jeep on a bumper pull. That's too much wieght. I was assuming it was a gooseneck. It'd have to have 4 working brakes and a weight distributing hitch for me to consider it. I have a 3/4 ton dodge, usually just flat tow the jeep.

    I know, I agree.... He has a gooseneck 2-car hauler also(that I was planning on getting), but he is using it that weekend.. I will see if I can fine another one..... The bumper pull trailer, actually has seperated axles(F*****up design),but it does result in less tung weight, but it is still a lot of weight to stop. I'll check... That is why I said but one of ours on a seperate trailer and pull someone elses Jeep, on that trailer to lower the weight. I might have another source for a 2 car hauler I will check tomorrow and see

    how long is this trailor... i cant see a bumper pull fitting two jeeps on it... and a bronco and a jeep is even less believable... do you know how much your bronco weighs... it is atleast 6000... i wouldnt put more than one on a bumper pull anyways... that is just what i think

    He brought his 2 jeeps on it every month to go wheeling before he got the gooseneck, it is long enough, I went with him a few times. This it not his, but one similiar, that I jsut found a pick of, compare........... Both of which are rated at the same weight, 14,000lbs.

    Like I said, I will try to find a Gooseneck tomorrow, but 2 jeeps on a bumper-pull is very possible...No its a fact.....

    But I did not think that broncos were that HEAVY....

    1995 Bronco
    Wheelbase 104.7"
    Overall Length 183.6"
    Curb Weight 4,587 lbs.
    Seating Capacity (Std/Max) 5/N/R
    Towing Capacity (Std/Max) 3,000/N/R

    Curb Weight: The empty weight of a vehicle including all factory options and accessories. For cars & trucks, this usually (but not always) includes at least half a tank of fuel and 1 person (driver) at 150 lbs.

    And considering I have no doors, no top, no bumpers, and basically no interior. I would have to saftly say that I am well under your 7000lb bronco.
