This is about 5,000 lbs of Maple and Ash firewood. Towed this load about 125 miles from logging roads to freeways, up and down grades in excess of 6%. No problems.

^ Hey we almost look like twins haha

Actually, this is my Jeep, but the waverunner is my buddy's. We decided to go to lake hopatcong this past summer on a really nice hot day and decided to take the Jeep instead of his pathfinder. Trip was well worth it.
BTW, that thing is fast as hell. Supercharged.

Wow, is that a lawsuit waiting to happen, or what?? Not only is it seriously overweight, it's loaded obscenely incorrectly. Is this a joke? How far did you tow? On one hand, I'm glad the JK can pull a load like that, on the other, I'm scared you might do it again.

That bobcat weights about 5200 lbs I believe. Hard to tell what is on the front of the trailer, but I doubt it is another 7000 lbs.

The front of the trailer is loaded with concrete the bobcat is on the back of the trailer behind the axels. and the front is still heavier. This is not mine I saw it driving through the little town I live in and had to take a pic because no one would beleive me. They were heading back to Houston which is about 90 miles away. They stoped at a store and I told them that they are stupid for taking that chance but they were foreign exchange students from Mexico so I dont think they understood me, they just laughed

Agreed, they are stupid. Those are probably 3,000 lb axes, so the trailer would not be rated for much more than the bobcat. I'm fairly certain there was not 7,000 lbs of concrete in the front of the trailer. You can tell most of the weight is on the back of the trailer, and honostly I don't think the trailer would handle that kind of weight and the Jeep would certainly not pull that kind of weight for very long.
