    i lust for a jumpin' jack too. there are some big differences in the costco and jumping jack. the jumping jack tent is made of real heavy canvas. the costco is made out of pretty thin synthetic canvas. jumping may be synthetic too, it's hard to tell anymore, but it is a lot heavier. and the costco trailer is rated at 2000 lbs with a leaf spring axle and the jack is rated at 3500 lbs with a torsion bar axle. the torsion bar axle gives you a much smoother ride and a lot more clearance and there ain't an axle and springs under the trailer to hit stuff with. i think it'd be pretty easy to overload the costco, if you load a couple quads or a side by side on it. it comes down to what you require. if you aren't going to use it real hard and don't have a ranger, the costco might be just the ticket. but there are some valid reasons that the jumping jack costs more.

    The Jumping Jack is made with Marine Canvas. Very Heavy and strong. I had mine in 5 days of almost non-stop Rain on a Spring Turkey hunt one year and never leaked one drop. They are expensive but the fellow who designed them put a lot of thought into it. I Have really enjoyed mine the last few years.

    Very Nice Mount Josh. You should show a close up of your Lion Mount that Chris Harlow did for you. I can see it in the background. We need a nice Lion mount to look at after suffering through TAMs lion mount the last few days. LOL.
