    If I could add.

    It's illegal to tow over 10000 without a CDL. I know this becuase last fall the DOT chippies pulled us over in our stakebed while working. Of course our teamster had the proper licenses and whatever but I asked the CHP Officer some questions because I was looking to get a truck and toyhauler/trailer for the Jeep. Basically it boiled down to the GCVW rating of the vehicle (fully loaded, I have pictures of him weighing our truck with us in it) what it's registered at (weight wise) and your license class. He also explained most people are unaware of this fact until they have an accident/incident and then they are held responsible because they were driving illegally. He specifically mentioned RV's towing toyhaulers loaded down with all there gear.

    Also according to California Motor Vehicle code the second trailer can only ever be a boat. I don't know why but that's the law. So that means truck then toyhauler then boat only - no jeep. This I know because I just had to take traffic school and for some reason that was one of the points covered. I think that might be the oddest CA reg of all.

        If you strap pontoons to the flares and attach a propeller to the driveshaft (AKA propeller shaft in the FSM), does the Jeep count as a boat?
