Bill,
I have seen him, or someone who subscribes to his philosophy, on the highway
at seventy. These guys do fine, until they have to perform a high speed
evasive maneuver. The best thing you can do is pass them, or let them pass
and stop for coffee.

Re: TJ towing capacity
Hi Earle,
Good idea, I'll stop for coffee, as I would be too sick to
continue. I remember trying to tow another Jeep once in an emergence
situation, through the mountains of Southern california, couldn't do it.
You know in the million miles of truck driving, I don't think I ever saw
a Jeep towing more than it was capable of, I would have remembered it
because of my own experience.

Re: TJ towing capacity
Ok guy's I am not recommending anybody do this, but what I am saying is. if
you need to move a horse from the stall to the vet ... go for it ......
if you are going to go from the house to a rodeo that is more that 15-20
miles away get a truck.

Re: TJ towing capacity
I've seen several that were towing more than the DRIVER was capable
of, tho. UHauls loaded so that the tongue was easy to lift, etc.
Looked like a fish swimming down the road. I favor the coffee stop,
myself. Some that I've seen made passing as dangerous as following
and I sure as heck don't them on MY tail!
If wheel base is the primary consideration, why were the MJ - even the
long bed versions, limited to one tow weight with standard
transmissions and at least double the weight with an aout. And why
were the "export" versions (all had D44's) rated for even more tow
weight with the same equipment?
