I agree that the "Jeep" version is sturdier but I am not sure how often it matters. I have a QS6 off-road that I pull with a Jeep Willys. I have spent quite a lot of nights in Utah, Arizona and California. I am leaving soon on a 4 month vacation from South of New Orleans to Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. To date, I have never found a place that I could not take my QS6. I have forded 36" desert streams and boondocked for ten days at a time in the mountains of southern Utah. If I feel safe taking my jeep there, I do not think about my QS6.
The most amazing thing is that my QS6 looks brand new. Except for the bed, there is really nothing to wear out. I replaced the mattress and installed foam block floor.
I have looked at the "Jeep" version but have no need to upgrade. I do like the looks of the Extreme edition but I also like the look of green in my wallet. I have no regrets with my QS purchase and recommend it to anyone looking for a small off-road trailer that is comfortable and can be used solo.

Nice looking set up MJ.

Question is do you (or anyone) know what it would take to upgrade the wheels and what-not to make a basic 6.0 a bit more trail-able? Is it as simple as the larger wheels maybe with an offset, plus a fender? I'm wondering how different the frames are? It seems to be calling for a gusset/cross brace or two. I'm not looking to off-road - at this time anyway ;), but would mostly like the rattle box to run a little smoother of the washboards and have a little more clearance for those just off the beaten places. The other thing I've been wondering about is what kind of angles the hitch can I take before I need to replace the ball with something more twisty. What kind of hitch do you have?
