Re: ARB Rear Bumper/Tyre Carrier - Jeep Wrangler
Dunno, but I think the hubs are a bit of a weak point on the Wrangler. (cf
the Wagoneer's Dana 44 6 stud fully floaters and the TJs 5 on 4.5
semi-floating Dana 44).

Re: ARB Rear Bumper/Tyre Carrier - Jeep Wrangler
There is definitely more to it than just the vehicle weight - the
Commanche pickup was rated at something like 2000# with a manual
tranny and 4.0 L engine, regardless of rear end. The same body with
the D44 and manual had the same limit, but substituting an auto tranny
brought you up to a 5000# limit. Now, I grant you that the 4.0 with a
3.07 differential ratio behind a manual transmission is not my idea of
a fun thing to tow 5000# with but that much of a difference in what it
is rated to tow is a bit suspicious. Put it in 4-LO and you could
pull your house.
