My KJ is stock, but just like the looks I get when I tow with her.
This picture was taken yesterday when I got home with my new toy

Andy - its the only trailer I've pulled with the CRD, and with the brakes there aren't any issues, except for proper weight on the tongue. Once I had a car to far back and the trailer was pulling me around. Shifted the car forward and no problems....

Just for clarification, when I said brakes, I meant the electronic brakes on the trailer....

I towed in a similar situation more than once with my '04 Gasser. I was towing just over 5,000 pounds (The dual axle car hauler and an '87 Sunbird Turbo)

Looks were priceless. One fella even asked me "I didn't think your station wagon would pull that!"

Yeah I know I was just giving him a hard time. It's actually a real sleeper looking mustang.

We have always called them a "five point slow" :lol: Although they can be made pretty quick. And are lots of fun.
