So...I went to the shop (Jumping Jack Trailers is local to me) this past week to check out the X4. I was hoping to see one at the Utah Sportsman's Expo last weekend, but they didn't have room in their display area. I had a pretty good chat with one of the owners there, and I put down a deposit. I am getting one, but I just don't know when, yet.
There isn't much info on their website on the X4 because they haven't officially begun production. They have a couple built that they are taking to some of the outdoor/sportsman's shows, but that's it so far. Order are already coming in though, and I've been told that they have enough to keep them busy through August.
There are a few features that I prefer on the standard trailer/tent that Sportsman's Warehouse carries, like the accessories, and how they hook onto the trailer while the tent is up (cooler rack & water rack). The X4 accessories are quite different. First, there are two sizes of cooler racks for the X4 (single and double) that fit nicely on top when in trailer mode to haul and secure all your coolers or gear. Once the tent is up though, they become stand alone units that you can put anywhere with legs..kinda like a table. In addition, they will have a sink unit and water pump that sets below them for camp use. Personally, I liked the ability to have them attached to the trailer for use, but not a big deal in my book.
The track width of the X4 is smaller, which means two things:
1. It will travel nicely behind a narrower vehicle (like a Jeep) with roughly the same track footprint which helps in those tight spaces!
2. You lose some space on the trailer and inside the base of the tent. (the tent wings are wider than the standard trailer tent though, so it makes up for the lost floor space, and there are "wings" that extend the top deck of the trailer when traveling)
They currently have two different fenders to use..one for standard wheels/tires (PIC BELOW) and one for big wheels and tires. I'm running 255/65-16's on my Libby, and we're pretty sure they'll fit under the standard fenders...but the trailer looks really cool with big ol' 31's and big rims!

In the pic above, you can also see that there are no sides to the actual trailer itself. It only has a front and back (tailgate). They skipped this because they have found most people don't really remove the tent pod and use it as a utility trailer anyway. But...if that is something you are looking for, then take that into consideration. Although...bolting a couple small side panels on wouldn't be too difficult.
There is some room in front of the box to probably put a small/medium sized box for storage, although they don't build anything for that purpose.

Plenty of room to sleep two of me, or four smaller people. lol! Beds are 6" long.

I'll post more when I get back to their shop and/or pick mine up...which ever comes first.
