I am interested in purchasing a CJ to tow one of my cars. I know it's short wheelbase does not make it ideal for this task. However, I have always been in love with Jeeps, and the military is sending me across the country.

So, I need to buy a truck to tow my Trans Am, and I figure this is my opportunity.

What do you think the towing capacity of a 1981 CJ with a 440 ci V8 would be? Obviously, I'd need to get a Class III hitch welded to the frame.

Thanks!

Go ahead and buy the CJ (getting more expensive everyday). Put the hitch on the T/A and tow the CJ away. You didn't mention if the T/A ran or not, if not sell and buy the CJ.
