Crazy 5 Place Trailer I picked up today

[Twinturbostang]

You have a JK?
No it doesn't like to tow much I just used it because it was a 250mile round trip and my Tahoe drinks gas. I have put my 20ft speedster jet boat behind the Jeep, that sucked never again.

Ya, I have a 4door JK. It doesnt like towing distance very much. Short trips its fine. But FULLY loaded with 4people and gear, 2 skis, ect it has to downshift ALOT when you get do any hill climbing. I usually have to turn OD off in most of DEL, Maryland, & VA when going to FL. If its flat highway its fine. I LOVE the truck but it just needs a little more brap for towing. If they came out with a torquey diesel JK I would buy it today...lol

Man what did Jeep do to those then?? My inline 4.0 would pull anything effortlessly...super torquey!!

Are the V-6's dogs or something?

Nice Shawn, I have 2, 2 Doors. I got the Silver one when they first can out it's loaded X with a 6 speed still haven't broke 10,000 miles on it (it's got the easy life). But the little lady liked it but wanted an auto so I ended up finding a loaded green X 07 that got traded back in with 12,000 miles on it at a local dealer. So she drives that as a everyday. Only thing I changed on them was Rubi tires makes the JK just look so much nicer.
I'm a tall big guy and the JK is the first jeep I would want to get in and go on a 200 mile trip. But they do need a V8 in there.

Is that the one I saw at wave Rave '07 Which you had to back down the street to get to the B/ramp.

Yes, Lou
That's the one. What a pain that boat launch was. Felt like half a mile in reverse! lol I was thinking it was 06, though. We got smart and left it home the next year.

Ya, they are. A few years back I would borrow my buddies strait 6 cherokee and it seemed to have more grunt. It could be the new jeeps just weight alot more though, I am not sure.
