Last year I moved from Florida to California. Drove my jk the whole way with a little 5x8 open trailer and my Harley Sportster. It sucked going through the mountains but I made it. You'll be fine.

Over the limit
Towed a 6x10 enclosed trailer basically packed tight with my bike, tools, etc. for thousands of miles with my 2008 JKR 6 speed on 35s and it never let me down. Way over the Jeep recommended weight limit but no issues other than those caused by the gutless 3.8 motor: useless 6th gear, single digit mileage, lotsa downshifting for hills and even headwinds. With a 3.6 you should be good.

Interesting. I Will keep that in mind.
Looks like the 5'x8' enclosed trailer will work for what I need. Will just need a ramp of some sort if I do that.

My trailers rear gate folds down for ramp. I laid a sheet of plywood then got a cheap motorcycle wheel chock from harbor freight. Two ratchet straps on each fork (one as a safety) then one around the rear wheel. Tightened the straps during rest stops. Made the 2400 mile journey.
