JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

The chains are draging the ground and there was about 1/2 inch of clearance on the rear fender.
And the jeep is only rated for 3,500lbs towing capacity so I dont think they care about rating for the trailer. the bobcat is 5,235 lbs dry weight and the trailer is a good 1,000 to 1,500 lbs and so maybe 10,000-12,000 lbs. does it really matter enough do argue? its overweight and its a guessing game they wern't sitting on a scale for me. I dont know and dont care But I was there and saw about 50 bags of concrete and some bricks on the front of the trailer, behind the plywood is concrete, if you look closley it is about level with the trailer metal walls.

So for fun my guess on the game.
5,235 lbs Bobcat
150 lbs diesel & hydraulic fluid & Oil & antifreeze
1,250 lbs trailer
5,000+/- lbs brick & concrete

You would not get very far in VA. like that. That is stupid i can see going over a few hundred pounds or so. But you risk your own life and everyone elses when people do this.

I really gotta get myself one of those WIllys! Great idea on the strap also! Keeps that piece of the top from flapping around on the freeway.
