Just be careful towing in the snow, you wouldn't want to have a mishap and scratch up the Rubicon.  :P

Why would that thing come get me?

For obvious reasons!



I have not towed with it yet, this is my first week driving it.  Most likely will tow Saturday if I tow jeep to Farmington.

You dont have to be towing something!

Welcome to the Hemi Club. Your membership card is also your debit card. Most all gas stations will accept it. No discounts though, kind of like the OJT membership card...
I'd put something funny here, but you probably wouldn't get it anyway...

Are you saying that the HEMI will perform just as well as the Cummins when towing?  :23:

Well I dumped the hemi.  It did an adequate job, but wasn't something I was enjoying owning.

So here is my newest attempt at a tow rig.

02 F250 SuperDuty.  7.3litre powerstroke, auto, 4x4, leather, etc.  Very comfy tow ho.

Well...I kinda went a different route.  I got rid of the Jeep for a tow rig.  Now I guess I locked myself into building a new Jeep. 

Traded the Rubicon for a 2006 F350 Crew Cab 4x4 Powerstroke.  No pics yet, will try and get one posted up later.
