All I know is, this past weekend I rented a car hauler and pulled my 4 door XJ on 6.5" of lift and 35" tires, behind my bone stock 2wd 4.0L ZJ. Above 50mph was scarey as all hell, and I sure as chit learned my lesson. Next time, my dumbarse is getting a bigger truck.

Bounce house, are those the blow-up buildings that kids play in?

If so, I've always wanted to get wasty-faced drunk and play around in one.

Sure! I've towed plenty of things with my '92 Cherokee Laredo 4.0L HO. I haven't towed anything yet with my '96 Sport, but I'm sure it's even better because it has a tow package and my '92 doesn't. The '92 XJ has an aftermarket hitch and there is no extra cooling or anything. I've towed everything from my boats (1978 Chrysler Conquerer II, 1982 O'Day Daysailer II), to ATV's and Dirtbikes, and I've even towed my '93 Wrangler YJ ( I still miss it to this day, damn drunk drivers!) down the freeway doing 60mph the entire time. Sure the Jeep started to heat up pretty good, but can it take the abuse? The answer is YEAH! It'll beg for more if anything.

I never have any problems towing my trailer, fully loaded. works great for a daily towing rig. My buddy and i have towed stuff alot bigger then this. like the guy with the truck on a flat bed. we do boats, trucks, cars, lumber, campers. never had any issues. And yes the trailer is loaded up all the way even though it doesnt look like it. I have a 3" lift in the rear with added booster leafs, and 1" higher shackle in the rear. so when i dont have weight on the back the rear is a lil higher.
