LOL, I'll see you 31" and raise you by only an inch, with another 1 1/2" in the suspension and see your bars. Before this stuff went on I could get 900 km out of a tank.

The JK diesel will pull what you want and give you good economy as well, get the Auto and more torque as well. In the shorty you don't have the piss poor ramp over........ ah pfft, you used to have a JK you already know what they are like. The CRD has good power, it is a reliable engine team it with the auto and you'll have no problems pulling your bikes around.

As mentioned before....


Towed a 5 m quintrex with 4 stroke... gmv @ 1200kg dry @ 1400kg when I loaded it... no problem with normal Boat trailor with normal drum brakes...


The 2 Door with tow pack is rated to 1500kg braked (I think; I'm too lazy to go look at my tow ball and tongue weight etc)...

You can get electric brakes if you want but you do not need at that weight... save your money...

Non braked load is the standard of 700 kg as per all vehicles....

Did the towing on several trips that would be @ 1000 km to 1500 km round trips with out any hassles...

But hey... WA is a little flatter than the east coast...

Without the tow pack (if I remember correctly) the standard towing capacity of the two door is only about 950 kg. the Rubi will be 1500 kg...

its the diff ratio's that make the diff... which relate to carrier size and BS....

Fawk you were right to get rid of it. More than happy with mine. Maybe I'm just easy to please.

I wonder why yours was so bad on the fuel? Yeah off road the economy drops but it should have gotten around 10 L/100 km on the road. Hang on you had an 07 didn't you? The early CRD's came with 4.1 diffs. The Autos now have 3.73 and the manuals 3.21. That may have contributed to some of it. I ordered mine after driving the 07 but by the time mine got here it had 3.21, bugger!
