I once pulled a Utility trailer with 2 atvs, and the back filled up midway up the back window with camping equipment.


Worst, at least in terms of sag, was actually groceries.
Backstory. I went to UMO and they had couple meal plans, but the important thing is at the end of the year if you dont spend all your dining funds you lose them.
So I spent a lot of them one day. About $800 dolars worth. Lets just say alot of cases of water/powerade/life water. Weighs down your rear end alot.

Since we got the XJ back in '96 it's been our tow rig. From the boats (22ft ski boats), to the sleds and gear (at least 2500lbs). I've hauled the jet ski in the back, we've towed a big *** diesel woodchipper that had a pintle hitch and no brakes on the chipper lol. Also towed my dads built '65 CJ5 on the car dolly with the Cherokee. It's been a workhorse for 15 years now, 200,000 miles later she's ready for 15 more.

And so, on the 7th day, Chuck Norris created the Jeep Cherokee, and he saw that it was good.

I hauled 350+ brick in the back with the rear seat down. Pulled a couple of nice size 25+ year old bushes out of the ground. Hauled 18" car haulers empty. Nothing impressive, but that's all I got. lol

Jeep pulling a Jeep.
Now the black one is waiting for me to overhaul it after I loaned it to mom and she cooked it.
The white one is my main ride now, it pulls my Catalina 22 Sailboat. But man does it suck the gas when I do.

Makes me wish I'd taken a picture back when I picked up my (5) 34x12.5's on 15x8 steel rims, with my buddy passenger (most I've carried). The guys I bought them from didn't think it could be done.. underestimated the XJ lol
