A note about the 1500 - 2500's I just read about, and this may have changed but I think it's worth looking into... It's the 2500's and up that have a full floating rear axle, not the 1500/AMC 150 's. Personally I would not want to be towing a vehicle with a semi-floating axle.

That's why I use a 1T dually.
Full float, and all the braking you need/want.

Ok - I might have lost this one. He has more stuff on his than I do, but I think I should get a couple extra points for crossing several lanes of traffic, a u-turn, speeding, and contemplating crossing a median to catch the owner before he disappeared into Lowes. I didn’t make it....

What always gets me when I park next to a late model Jeep is how huge they are. They are almost as wide as a HMMWV. Makes me wonder how they get up and down some of the trails I have seen. Of course, I would also bet that most JK owners never go off hardtop roads.

I would agree that the majority do not go off road, but there are a ton that do. And those big Jeeps are very capable off road. I won’t say it is any easier in a JKU than a CJ, but they make it look a lot easier. Granted being on 37-40 inch tires and all of the money spent on parts and skids helps too.

But the best trip I have had is with 50 or so Scramblers on the trails in TN. Watching them get through the trails was a blast. And finding out what mine was capable of with stock gears and only a small list and 33s was eye opening. I just had to me more precise with my lines.

I am sure you will win more than lose. Tons of JK and JLs will be there.
