With your stock kj(3.7 v6) do you think you could push a car? like if your nose to nose

with an arb bumper?

if the car is in neutral?

if the car is in park?

Can it be in 4 low? If so, it can be done very easily! The car can be in neutral or park, it makes no difference. I pulled my XJ out of the mud with my KJ. I pulled a big @ss 2 wheel drive Ford pickup out when he buried the rear axle. I told him to leave his truck in neutral, and get in only to steer and to stop the truck from hitting me when I pulled it out. I pulled it out, and I could not tell it was even back there!

I don't know what you are looking for but I have pulled a full size Land Rover out of the mud and have been pulled by a KJ off of some rocks.

Pulled a F250 4x4 powerstroke about 20mi the the nearest dealership after it died last Satuday...............I know was a bit over my 5000lb tow rating (7200lbs) but the KJ didn't seem to mind

Doesn't take much to shear the park pin in an automatic.

I think it has to move faster than 15mph and thats it.

That wouldn't be a bad purchase even if you end up pushing him...

done it before. one of our drivers at my other job broke down about a mile away from the store, and i had to run down there and push him back to the store. nose of the KJ to the end of the Grand Am, 2wd, left the tranny in 1st rather than drive. No problems at all. kinda fun actually...lol. he was in neutral, but had a dead fuel pump.
