    KIA Telluride for towing?

    Yes 470 ft-lbs Your Jeep Grand Cherokee has a wheelbase of 109.5"....that is even less than the Kia Telluride that the Op was asking about. Sorry...but that is dangerously low unless you are towing a couple miles to a ramp like you apparently do. Bottom line, the Cherokee is a **** poor towing...

    KIA Telluride for towing?

    That's funny...I don't see you mention turbos anywhere! Too bad the Jeep is such a lousy tow vehicle with its short wheelbase and lousy payload. What is your payload on your Jeep..1000# or so? Also, you can't even get a V8 in a Jeep Cherokee anymore.

    Low voltage to fuel pump relay

    It will receive 12V to the relay coil while cranking(through diode from starting circuit) and then once the engine starts, it will get 12V from the alternator, also through a diode to that coil.

    HELP: Rusted bolts on leaf springs

    When I replace spring bolts, I replace with ones you can lube. https://www.amazon.com/Rigid-Hitch-Greaseable-B-201-10-Locknut/dp/B07D5LT639/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1OHMVSTK75QH1&keywords=lubed+spring+bolts&qid=1691246108&sprefix=lubed+spring+bolts%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-1

    White Ground wire

    I do a ground to the frame at every light fixture. I then paint over it to basically seal it.

    Dust Cap Woes

    Pretty easy to dimple a cap from the inside with a punch. Put 3 or 4 dimples in and it will never come off. If it's a Bearing Buddy...A lttle harder to do but supposedly can be done. I had this problem once and when I switched to higher quality hubs, problem disappeared.

    If you have a roller trailer used in salt water....check this....

    Elsewhere in So Cal means ocean. We have over 7 foot tides at times. Today we have a -1.6 followed by a 6.8 later. As far as launching at high tide vs low tide, our ramps are the same angle no matter when you launch so it really doesn't matter if you launch at high or low other than the amount...

    My bet you guys haven't shopped for a boat/trailer made in the last decade. Do your tow vehicles still have carburetors too?

    Shallow ramps are better for roller trailers? I beg to differ. Shallow ramps require you to back in further. Roller trailers also make you back in further. Double wammy! When we used to launch our 27' boat on a roller trailer in Lake Powell, our truck was practically under water.

    If you have a roller trailer used in salt water....check this....

    LOL..based on the size of your small boats, I can see why you have no idea what you are talking about. Had a 27' sunbridge boat on a roller trailer. Having an already high center of gravity boat on an even higher trailer was a VERY poor combo. It's also why you rarely see heavy longer boats on...
