That my friend is ballsy.theorrminator said:My first CJ-7 had the 304 and could pull an 18 foot boat (with its own V8) from Las Vegas to San Diego and back (up and down Cajon pass for those who really know Southern Cal) every year. It was a work horse and never gave me any problems.
I guess ignorance was bliss all those years ago. Just never really thought about it. The dang thing would just pull anything we put behind it and never seemed to have any braking problems. Would probably still be driving the stupid thing if I hadn't been t-boned by a kid blowing through a stop sign. Witness said I rolled 5 times before landing back on the wheels. This was a 79 CJ-7 so it did not have the full roll cage or shoulder belts if you can believe it. the other thing most folks can't believe was that I got away with a concussion and a broken pinky finger...1BLKJP said:That my friend is ballsy.![]()
DownandDirty said:Being able to pull something with a jeep is the easy part. Stopping or manuevering in an emergency situation is most likely where you will have problems.
Depending on your terrain also..where i am at in the Black Hills..you would't be able to tow anything up these Hills.....Does any one know, or does anyone use there Jeep as a tow vehicle? Say to pull a boat or something. How much can one tow safely with a jeep?
