(don't have a controller on my wj) http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2007/12-Dec-22-Rambo-n-Omega/Rambo-in-tow/P1140164.jpg the J100 probably weighs 4,500 to 5,000 lbs... maybe more, those tires are 35's! so maybe 5,500lbs total... plus another 1,500 to 2,000 for the trailer itself... so somewhere between 6,000 and 7,500 lbs were behind the WJ... which weighs about 3950 lbs. The 4.7L V8 and 45RFE did superbly... computer showed around 13 to 14 mpg average coming up I-5 at 45 mph. If I buy this flatbed the first thing I'll be doing is installing a trailer brake controller and changing the trailer to a 7 pin flat RV connector... :) btw, my friend dave is 6'4"... gives you a bit of an idea of how tall Rambo is. :) I'm heading down to help curtis work on my '91 GW on Friday... will take my '91 300d to save some fuel and make some time... Superdawg is tucked away under a tarp with the bed not bolted in... I'm really not up to any more towing adventures for THIS year. :) Hope you are all having a very MERRY CHRISTMAS... john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- there's a solution for every problem; problem is can we afford the solution? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 24 Dec 2007 07:09:45 +0000 From: michel balea Subject: RE: fsj: perspective on towing Merry Xmas, And i did a similar feast.... fsj towing an FSJ.... w a car dolly (sp?) .... Really no brakes, on downhills..... when i realized that my right turn was coming.... pressing the brakes: nothing happened.... steep hill.... so i made it to the grocery parking lot.... being careful, that you cannot back up w the dolly..... the best being the jacknife on my friend's property... nicely tucked between the trees and the embankment.... on a steep downgrade....

Pulled these off a Deluxe wag waiting for it's last rites, anybody know what else they were used on... like the Commando maybe? Are the clips that hold them to the rim still available somewhere? One is missing and three are missing the rubber isolator block. Ideas what these are worth? http://www.fullsizejeeps.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10016/DeluxeWagoneerWheelTrimRings.JPG Elliott ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
