It's a thought. It's not a good thought, but it is a thought. <lol>

No disrespect to the OP, but why to people always want to tow the biggest things
with the smallest vehicles?

My thoughts are that you should remain in front of me on the highway. As I
recall, the YJ is limited to 2000 lb towing capacity. The trouble is not
that you will have difficulty getting this stuff moving, the trouble is
hauling it back down to parked.

Yes and NO. Sorry, way to much for a SWB Jeep.

The YJ is too light, it's wheelbase is too short, and it doesn't have enough
tow capacity for the load. It will be an accident waiting to happen. Don't do
it. The lives you save may be your own, your family's, or mine.
