nice trail rig...you even towed that w/o the "big tow" pkg, do you have an aftermarket guage to keep an eye on tranny temps? if you were towing 5k lbs, i wouldnt even be asking but 8k is 60% more than that. nice job and once again, nice trail rig you got there, love those old "still in the crate" jeeps.

this thread is worthless without a bigger picture of those airbags!
i recently grossed 14.5K (truck, trailer & load) hauling a dump trailer full of busted up concrete with a non-bigtow. It handled it very well but i only had to haul it 5 miles on flat paved roads, no hills at all. Did 3 loads and didn't exceed 50mph. I would do it again, but i wouldn't haul that kind of weight much further than this distance.

the tandem rears look heavier than whats in the jeep, my guess is its probably out of a military 6x6 truck or something like that..
