This is my choice, by far. Both methods have equal pros an cons. You can back up with a trailer, like at fuel pumps, getting into tight spaces, etc...can't back more than one foot with 4 down. Cost of the parts and pieces for 4 down are probably more than a trailer. Trailer allows for more option (portable generators, ladders, dog fencing, extra fuel and water for boondocking, etc.) Trailer tires are much cheaper than Jeep tires. It's your choice and both work well. The biggest difference is the power to handle the additional weight of the trailer. For the record...I also have a tow bar for my Jeep which I can use for short pulls to races an local events. No brakes but should not be an issue with a YJ.

Thanks ! this is a difficult choice to make for us...as Ron has pulled various trailers for many years...definitely his comfort zone. We are looking at a 14' flat trailer Friday..weight of trailer and tj (3200) falls within towing capabilities of Axis. He understands short comings of towing 4 DOWN and is weighing the $$ difference between the two...knowing that wear and tear of towing the tj 4 down has its own issues. Ultimately, it will be his decision.
