First tow rig:
1982 Dodge D150 - 318/TF727/8.25... Removed the shell, towed once with it and it was disappointing, and it had too many problems, so I gave it to a friend:

http://www.steve88xj.com/misc/dodge15.jpg

2nd tow rig: 1999 Durango 5.2L 4x4.. doubles as my daily driver.
I towed with it last weekend and it did just fine, but did about 8mpg towing about 5,000 lbs. Still though, at least I was passing the semi trucks instead of them passing me like with the pickup above.

http://www.steve88xj.com/misc/durango01.jpg

I dig the Durango for now, but I can see myself having a better dedicated tow rig and a separate daily driver in the future.

Bought it as a tow rig/DD but have done very little towing with it. What I have done it did very well though, especially for a SWB gasser.

5.9 ZJ to pull with. Trailer is a 23' custom built flatbed that my friend and I made about a year and a half ago. Electric brakes on both wheels, winch in the box, 3 different plugs, drive over fenders, etc. It's nice.

http://www.phatserver.net/~chris/towrig2.jpg

Gets roughly 10-11 MPG out to Pennsylvania and back, pullin 70-75 MPH the whole way, and is very comfortable while doing it. I couldn't ask for more out of it.

[SpyderXJ]

I've towed the Jeep once with it, when it was broken down, so it qualifies. In the future, when I can afford a trailer, it will tow more often.

Figure out the longest trailer you think you'll need, then add 2 feet. You can almost ALWAYS use a longer trailer...:thumbsup:

[Jeepin Jason]

Agreed. Ours is 18', and I couldn't imagine having anything shorter.

Just make sure to get something with brakes on at least one axle.

If you're going to use ramps (we don't, our rigs can get on and off our trailer by themeselves) I personally like ramps that slide in from the side. The carhauler trailer that we borrowed all the time before we got our own had ramps that slid out from the back and they were a real PITA to deal with because the trailer would always be flexxed and that would jam up the ramps under the trailer.

x2 on it all.

My ramps are side also.....the best. I rarely use them :D Has dual brakes. I really like having a flip up jack also!

[mxjeepin]

it must depend ont he stiffness of your trailer. mine are slide out from the end and i love them. take 5 secs. to slide out never had them bind yet. http://www.superior-trailer.com/product.asp?partnum=cch5000

I would say that's reasonable to expect. Have you tried pulling anything with it yet? Hell, when I got my ZJ, one of the first things I did was load the XJ on the trailer and try pulling it around. :lol:

I have a 16' flat bed with a dovetail on it and it is perfect. If it stretched the wheelbase over 12'' id be hurting on space and the rear tires would have been on the tail of the trailer.

thats hot dub.

[Phil]

Looks alot better with the tires. What Brand steps did you go with? They look good and a great alternative to nerf bars, which ,for the megacab I have only seen one that looks good. I believe they were Putco Boss Bars. Putco makes some real nice low profile pop-up stake pocket tie downs..

Truck looks good Doug, suprised I havent seen that around. I get around to alot of the Tri-county area. Ill be lookin for it.

[willyb]

Da 'TOW RIG' is lookin' good Jason... Deffinitly diggin that front plate :pimp:

[Jeepin Jason]

Phil, the steps are by Carr. They're their Hoop II's. Fairly common down here. Eventually I want to replace them with a set of N-Fab Nerfsteps though.

[Phil]

Those are sweet. I havent seen those before. I search high and wide for after market accesories , so its nice to see when someone else comes up with something I havent seen.

[Leadfoot]

I really like those NFAB bars. That is what I want to put on my truck.

They come in several different colors and look real nice.

[Phil]

price? I like the fact they come in black.

Hey also if the SWAT team ever needs assistants, you could help... :D

[Jeepin Jason]

4-step bars run about $420'ish, the 6-step bars are about $495'ish.

I'm going to see if any of our supplier carry them or if we can get direct with N-Fab as a distributor.

[FLEXJ]

Phil,

I usually hide on I-75 most morning between 7AM and whenever I can make it to work. Honestly,lately I have been driving my WK on the weekdays. Usually the Mega Tow comes out on the weekends- M-59 for the Orchard Lake to Lake St Clair run (Anchor Bay, my second home).

Dj

[Phil]

Ive been spoting a 3500 dualie the same color as yours around the hall and v.dyke area. looks good , but I couldnt justify purchasing a dualie for the limited hauling I do. weird how do you spell dually,dualie??

[Cobound]

Holy Dodge haven :o

Dub, I was actually thinking of going the Suburban route..but you only get 6-9 mpg :o Hell, I get 9-11 with the Hoe :squint:

Thouhts? I like the third row...and the added room..but if gas mileage is that much worse..no. what did you get w/ out towing?

B

[Jeepin Jason]

Our mileage was crap because we had a Denali... which means fulltime AWD, plus the big 6.0L. Plus we had fat Nitto tires on it. Add all that together, and it makes for crappy mileage.

A regular Suburban, with a 5.xL V8, in 2WD, with normal tires, or even AT's like your Hoe, should get better mileage. So basically... avoid the 6.0L, avoid AWD, and don't put fat racing tires on it. :lol: Definitely try to find one with the load-leveling rear suspension though, that was da bomb!

Once we decided that we really needed to get rid of the Denali, our first choice was one of the brand new '07 Suburbans. But the more we thought about things, the more we decided that we really needed a pick-up vs a Suburban, and really wanted a diesel. Plus there were a bunch of little nit-picky things that were changed on the '07's that I didn't really care for, though there were also a lot of things that I did really like.

Other than that we loved the space in that vehicle. That's one of the reasons we got a Megacab -- closest thing to a fullsize SUV with a bed on the back.

[Cobound]

yeah, when I finish school (get back into the real jobforce again) I'll be looking for a diesel. I like the fact that you can put a camper in it...and still tow a trailer. Can't do that w/ the Hoe. That is the one downside I see right now. Camping and Jeeping go hand in hand...

Unless I get rid of the tow aspect..and drive the Jeep there w/ it on the back fo the Jeep. Don't like that idea. Just can't go as extreme as I like to w/ the Jeeeping :D

[sukemecuke]

Tow rig #2: 2003 GMC Denali XL, 6.0L, AWD, 22" rims, Nitto 420 tires.

What are those wheels if you don't mind me asking?

[Jeepin Jason]

They were 22x10" Bruzers by MB Wheels, in their charcoal/mirror finish. matched the metallic charcoal paint on the Denali perfectly.

[HotSEXJ]

we decided that we really needed a pick-up vs a Suburban, and really wanted a diesel.

Jason, why did you decide that you really needed a pickup? I understand wanting a diesel, but why did you decide on "open storage" vs. "covered storage"?

[Phil]

I also came apon this same choice. Dodge finally filled the gap with the huge back seat. You just feel better about throwing wood, tools, jeep parts and anything else kind of dirty in the bed of a truck. I kinda like to have the choice of keeping the filth seperated from the clean. Although third row seating is out of the question, I cant see any vehicle having as grand of a back seat in this catagory as the megacab. Not to mention I get a huge discount with dodge. The long bed ND will be nice.
As for Jason I think he explains to you his answer in a differant post, I remember seeing it somewhere.

sweet thanks. I am plannin on tradin the 2k XJ in the fall for an 04-05 Hoe and black was my color of choice. Those would look pretty sweet. Prolly only go 20's though with the Hoe. Not quite sure yet.

[Jeepin Jason]

We decided to go with "open storage" vs "closed storage" for many of the same reasons Phil listed. While there's been few times when we needed more storage than the suburban offered, we used it very much like a pickup... loading the backend down with lumber, mulch, bricks, flagstone, gravel (in bags), etc. Not to mention camping gear, the dogs, etc.

And it's really not so much that we wanted "open" storage -- one of the first things we added to the truck was a tonneau cover, and we're thinking about eventually getting a topper or a softtop for the bed -- as we wanted "seperated" storage.

In fact our first choice for a tow rig when we were looking at getting our first one was a Chevy Avalanche, but at the time they were still fairly new on the market and relatively expensive, so we got a Tahoe. Then realized we needed more space, so we got the Denali XL, and while the 3rd row was great for long trips with Jen's folks, we realized that a 4-dr truck would really have best-suited what we needed.

bigbasstj, that's a sweet setup! Someday we'd like to get a big RV like that. :thumbsup:

Guess it about time I post up my junk. The blue Dodge on the left is mine, '01 Cummins HO, 6 spd, ext. cab, long bed, 315 BFG AT's. And the Silver Dodge on the right is my father's '02 with the same drivetrain, except with all the trimmings, though i like the rubber floor covering in mine way better than his carpet. The gooseneck behind mine is ours, and the other one was borrowed from a friend to get everyone out to Moab.

95 F-350 Powerstroke, BHAF and straight pipe. PJ trailers 30' gooseneck, 8k axles etc. With two jeeps it tows like absolute crap, hard to maintain 65 on a flat interstate. I guess 14,000lbs is too much :dunno:

Been pleasantly surprised by the Big Tex trailer. Got it in February and have about 5000 miles on it now, the cheapo tires are hangin' in there and my only complaint is the crappy lights(time to go LED).

[Jeepin Jason]

Yeah, the lights are definitely junk. Doesn't help that our dogs keep chewing the front amber marker lights off... :bang:

:o Nice truck(s). What kinda weight did you have on that trailer? What size axles?

I'm planning to pick up a 12valve this Sunday on my trailer. The only problem is that it will be sitting about 900-1000 lbs over my axle ratings.

It's getting towed a solid 100 miles, so i'm not doing it if it won't be safe.

:dunno:

[xj_man_646]

I think the biggest thing to worry about will be the trailer tires. If the tires aren't rated for more than the axles, it won't be safe. I have no doubt the axles can't handle an extra 500 lbs each.

[Timmay]

The trailer tires are load range D iirc. It was like 2500lbs each. I have to look again to be sure though. :bang:

I'm sure I was pushing 11k on a 10k trailer. There is an engine in the bed and some heavy metal on board as well. I wasn't worried about the go as much as the stop. I'll pull the trailer brakes after halloween and check for damage.

We were passing people the whole way.

Only on a couple of passes did we have to slow down to the speed limit.:rock:

I kinda figured that. I'm not too worried about the brakes or my truck being able to pull it. Mostly tires and trailer axles. :dunno: I don't see it being much of a problem but it's one of those things thats in the back of your head telling you not to do it. :D

If you're that worried about it, you might be able to use mine...10k axles and 11k tire capacity.

Is this the one Colin is lookin at?

[Timmay]

Yea, he looked at it yesterday and wants it now. :)

What size ball does your trailer have? Do the brakes work? Last I heard you were brakeless. :dunno:

Most importantly, did you swap out the tire that was rubbing the fender? :lol:

[Vetteboy]

Yes, I bought a whole new set of tires for it after that trip, that were a size smaller and actually trailer tires. :D

Ball is 2-5/16 (but obviously I have a hitch for it anyway), brakes worked as of last weekend.

When is he gonna go pick it up? Might be easier if I just did it... :dunno:

If it's a standard cab longbed you should be fine, the bed will hang off the back of the trailer a few inches, and the tires will be on the beavertail. Just don't put it too far forward and extremely make tight turns. If you do the truck on the trailer will contact the tow rig.

FWIW, I towed a 79 F250 275 miles to upstate NY, I also had a 79 F250 on it from VT to NY about the same distance on that trailer with no issues. In addition to an 84 F150 on 36's that had a bunch of junk in the bed from Elmer, NJ to my house.

What difference do "trailer" tires make.
I had a goose-egg come up on one in nowhere, North Dakota of mine and I R&Red it with a LT tire off the shelf.
Is one prefered over the other?

[Vetteboy]

I can probably do it then, I hauled the Bronco on the trailer a few weeks ago and that thing is just under 6k, barely noticed it.

Where's it at exactly? It's only fitting, I hauled the damn Durango too. :D

After towing with car tires on the trailer vs. ST (special trailer) tires, I would never recommend to anyone to use regular car tires.

It's basically the way they're designed & constructed...they're much more suitable for the dynamics of following a vehicle (sway control & directional stability) than for propelling one (sidewall and tread cap conformance to the road surface, sidewall shear, etc).

Basically with a trailer tire, it'll have less sidewall flex so you'll reduce the possibility of trailer sway, they'll have a very hard rubber compound to make the tire stiffer and last longer (only need to provide traction when braking), and they're designed to be used on a non-damped suspension (much harsher than a tuned automotive suspension). So if you put a trailer tire on a car it would ride and handle like absolute crap, where a car tire on a trailer would wear much quicker and cause you to lose stability.

The biggest problem is going to come from the tire bands themselves heating up - the harsher suspension and larger sidewall loads can wear out the bands a lot quicker, which is what causes a sidewall blowout. Having trailer tires that are underinflated can also make that happen, for the same reasons.

[xj_man_646]

They are also more suitable for the scrubbing a trailer tire sees that a car tire does not.

or Old School w/ the 89 CTD...

[XJ_FIREFIGHTER]

Unless that thing has a P7100 pump, then it ain't no sleeper. . .

How is that?

A VE can be as fast as a P-pump to a point... Never get much more the 600HP out of one even with a 14mm VE pump but the 1500 lb/ft in a 5000# truck with a boosted 4x4 launch is a HELL of a sleeper. Besides... It's easy to make power from a p-pump, I like the challange and I consider teh 1st gen dodges to be the "Classic" Diesel's... Not alot of them doing anything... I never expect to be the fastest or the best at the track/pull... Put the last two pulls it put me in third... one foot out of second once. And for the $3,000 I have in it I think that is fine with me.

I wont even guess at power numbers right now (hitting th eDyno end of next month) but with the pump turned up, injectors, turbo, and BHAF Right Now she will run with my turned up 06 till about 65-70 then the non-overdrive tranny kicks it's ***...

I didn't realize that you'd done that much to it. . . that thing must be a hoot! However, you won't see much over 500HP with the VE pump. I've been doing research on these engines, and I love them as much as you do. :thumbsup:

Hey Jason, what kind of front bumper is that on your Dodge? I saw them all over the place when I was in Texas and when I drove out to LA on another trip.

Thanks.

[Jeepin Jason]

It by a Texas company called Ranch Hand. There are a number of companies here that build bumpers of a similar style, ie: pipe and diamond plate, but I think Ranch Hand is one of the biggest and they've been around for over 20 years.

I thought I'd toss mine into here. It's an '05 Chevrolet K2500HD Duramax/Allison. WAY to many mods to list, but they are all done to make the towing even easier than before. You know us Texans, we can't leave our trucks stock. :chug: I usually pull our 28KS Desert Fox toy hauler with either bikes or quads inside. That setup weighs in around 20-22000# combined depending on the toys in the back. I pull the Jeeps and farm equiptment on a flatbed and cattle in our 26' gooseneck cattle trailer. Here's a few pics. :rock:

[Thomas M]

Guess I should finally post mine up here. Im sure I have the smallest tow rig on here short of the Grand Cherokees posted. It does what I need though. 07 Silverado 1500 W/T (work truck) with the 5.3. Factory towing package (heavier susp, limited slip rear, reciever/wiring, tranny cooler), W/T convience package (power locks and CD radio). Came with the cargo management system that I took out the first day and put in the garage. Factory deep tint, dealer installed trailer brake controller and bedliner.

Pretty basic truck but does exactly what I need and we paid about 5k under sticker with full extended warranty and gap. Gets 16-17 MPG mixed driving and breaks just over 20mpg on the highway. Rides better than the wifes new G6.

The wheels I snagged off of a z71 in the yard, interchange shows 04-07 so they arnt too out of place and look alot better than the base steelies that came with it. Waiting on a decent 07 to come in to snag the electric window setups (I forgot how much of a pain manual windows are in a truck).

Dont have a trailer yet but I do have some in the family that are available for use when I need them.

Im sure I have the smallest tow rig on here short of the Grand Cherokees. 07 Silverado 1500 W/T (work truck) with the 5.3
Wrong, I tow with my 06 Ram 1500 with a 4.7.... :D

I'm sorry I picked up the samurai with a 04 hemi and it sucked balls

[Krazy]

actually my truck doesn't do bad at all, nothing like a diesel, but it handles loads just fine...the manual trans helps a ton

Yeah, the salesman were trying to get me to go with the 4.8 with the higher geared rear because more were available (same tow rating) with the features I could afford. But I told them no way for durability and fuel milage (4.8 already gets worse milage than the 5.3 before the higher gears). Had to dealer trade mine out of Oklahoma but it was worth it :yes:

Chris, I thought you towed with your Bronco. :dunno:

[Vetteboy]

DD/tow: '05 Dodge 2500 CTD 6-speed.

The Bronco belongs to a buddy of mine, he and I built it and he uses it when he tows stuff.

[champ]

'07 Titan, 4x4, tow package etc. It tows the lighter stuff alright, but as soon as you hit the hills with 7500lbs behind you, it sucks.

Yah thanks. You wouldn't believe how much crap you can fit in a van...A little under powered for a 250 but up the hills but she'll hold 65 up any hill if you hit the bottom at like 75ish

A few of my fellow rallyists use vans for tow rigs, they love em. One of my friends uses an older ford diesel van, and the Last Ditch Racing crew use a diesel Dodge Sprinter van. They seem to work quite well.

Thought I've posted in this thread already. Guess not. 02 7.3L Diesel Crew Cab SB. ATS trans, 4.56 gears, DP Tuner, etc.

I'm sorry I picked up the samurai with a 04 hemi and it sucked balls

The hemi is a dog of a towing motor, the 4.7 has a lower power band, which works rather well for a towing motor. I've driven both with loads and the 4.7 just is a better truck motor. I actually find the hemi to be a huge disappointment.

Still I wont buy a truck without a diesel...
