Towing stuff with your 2dr (pics?)

[Jimac]

Those are awesome. When I picked my trailer in AZ I got to check these out. The issue with most of their models is that you are over the tow rating of your 2 door.

The expedition 2.0 tongue weight is already over capacity and the when fully loaded youd also be over towing capacity.

Air bags could help with the tongue weight and if kept minimally loaded I guess you could right at/under 2,000lbs and I am sure the JL can tow it no issues.

The off-grid trailers have some suspension systems man. Ive never seen that on a trailer before, pretty insane.

Yes I use air bags and overload bump stops to keep level at 21” going down hiway. I am 1800# empty and 2700# wet/loaded. Have no problem with my v6 8sp auto pulling in low altitude conditions or off road primitive camp sites. MPG drops from 21 to 16 pulling loaded at 65mph.

2,700 now that's a stretch.

The v6 + 8speed can easily tow that much weight and more I am sure. I'd personally be more concerned about the short wheelbase, suspension, and vehicle dynamics.

.Happy to hear you have no issues towing that much with the 2 door. I believe you. My trailer was at 1,500lbs the past weekend and I couldn't feel it back there.

Rubicon w/410 and heavier suspension works well. OffGridTrailer suspension, same size tires and wheels as jeep helps. Wet weight at rear takes weight off hitch. All load weight centered on axle. Same vehicle sold overseas has twice the rated tow capacity. Keep length of trailer close to length of tow vehicle helps also.

I tow my sawmill.

Roughly 1500 lbs, 150lb tongue weight and ~24’ from ball to tail lights.

It may have been a tad overloaded! But I took it slow and steady, and it did just fine. No highway, just back roads.

My mill is still set up, bring ’em over. (See post above yours. )

Most people use their winch to bring their Jeep to a tree. I use the winch to bring trees to the Jeep.

Nice! No thanks haha! All of my wood goes into my woodstove, but thanks for the offer!

Towed my T-Rex to a birthday party. Barely noticed it was there compared to my old JKU.
