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?

Re: TJ towing capacity
That is one dumb *** philosophy. When you kill someone taking your horse to
the vet 5 miles from your property then will it still be ok? Its like saying
you can balance a ladder on a few chairs and stand on the very top of it to
change a light bulb but if you are going to change three lightbulbs buy a
taller ladder.
Use your brain. Stop acting like the rest of the mindless world and do
things right.
