- 1981 CJ5, 258 w/ clifford intake and holley 4bbl/T-176/D300. 32x11.50s
will CJ5 tow a boat?
ok, i know i'm going to be called an idiot for this question. but i have to know if its even feasible.
I'm looking to buy a boat. we'll use a 22' fiberglass center console deep sea hull with a 250hp motor as the example(i.e. a heavy boat) the boat ramp is about 4 blocks from my house. max speed 30 mph, minimal traffic. with a solid tied into the frame hitch on a CJ5 , would i be safe from my driveway to the boat ramp and back? I'm mostly worried about stopping, almost as equally worried about the backing up/leaving the boat ramp itself.
the life of my CJ depends on it. AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l w/ 4 speed, 2.5" lift, 32x11.50s, engine mods are header/intake, 4 barrel, hei distributor.
