Let's see those 2-Door JL pics!

[Paul19JLR]

Two door has a 2,000 lb towing. My 2.0L turbo 2 dr weighs 3970 lbs.

That's what I was saying.

I meant to tag the one you were reply to.

I found a list of JL WRANGLER weights by engine types for both 2 & 4 doors.

It's interesting that my 2 door JLR 2L Turbo weights MORE than the 4 door sport with the 3.6L V6 and only 50lbs less than the Sahara JLU. So if weight is the factor that Danatrac used to limit their kit to the v6 4 door, then it doesn't make sense in all cases...

I'm not hold you accountable for posting the info. I'm just responding to try and get answers from the anyone including @danatrac

The owner's manual for my 2 door rubicon 3.6 says 2000 pounds towing and a toung weight of 200 pounds.

I think the manual assumes a class II hitch

A Class III setup provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs.

A class III hitch does not increase the towing capacity on the 2 door, it's max 2000 lbs towing capacity for the vehicle according to FCA. Max is 3500 on the 4 door, even for the diesel.

It's based on the wheelbase and weight distribution, not the hitch. Short wheelbase and heavy trailer don't mix.

Thanks for the clarification and I agree Long and heavy trucks are best for towing long and heavy stuff. I personal hate towing anything, that's why I got a 2 door so I don't have to tow things or extra people

just a little offroad MonkeyBusiness...

Yep stock suspension for now

Good stance in that photo. Looked to me maybe a tad bit high

Maybe a little bump with the half doors on and hard top off with me not sitting in it. Factory wheels, tires, and suspension.

Hint: If you remove the rear seat and put in a dog bed, no one even ASKS! Top tip!

That's a nice looking rig.

I'm so tired of rigging my trailer every time I go dirt biking. I have one of those trailer hitch dirt bike racks left over from a different vehicle. I'd like to start using this hitch rack instead. Figure my Husky TX300 is in the 220 lbs range and the rack is about 50 lbs. Think that would work okay?

I'd probably do it. I have a Beta 200RR and I'd put it on a hitch carrier on our 2 door without a second thought.
