Re: trailer?
Thanks everyone. I'm in Texas by the way. And TJ is a pretty name for a
wrangler.
No, I wouldn't tow 4000 pounds in heavy rain going 80mph :)
I mostly need it for bringing plywood from home depot to my garage.
Probably never more than 5-10 sheets. I just don't want to buy a truck for
those rare occasions when I need to haul something.
Thanks,
-Jack

Re: trailer?
Hi Jack,
I know you are kidding us with the two tons, but are you aware that
is twice what your TJ is rated to tow?
Oh, and thanks for not calling a Jeep.

Re: trailer?
Jack,
I have a '01 TJ 4.0 that I occasionally pull my 5x8 drop-ramp trailer with.
I like it because I've been able to haul 10 foot long 2x10s from Lowe's by
stacking them in the middle with the overhang just behind the trailer jack.
I've had a little over 2000 pounds of mulch in it and pulled with no
problems. I did have to change hitches though. I bought a frame hitch that
hung below the factory bumper. It caused both my trailer and the pop-up
camper I also tow with the TJ to scrape the ground on inclines (not to
mention getting hung off road). So I trashed both the hitch and the factory
bumper and got the Olympic rock bumper with receiver. It has worked
marvelously ever since. BTW, I have pulled my 1750lb camper at 80mph with
no problems.

Re: trailer?
the TJ is rated at 4400lb / 2000kg here for a trailer with brakes ;-)
Perhaps you guys get a lower rating as you are more ligitious / compensation
payouts are higher ...
