Found it!
My wife found one of the pics from our cross-country road trip that included the camper from this past summer. It a 30 year old Starcraft Venture that weighs just enough to make the old 3.8 work. My F-I-L used to pull this camper with his CJ7 down to the outer banks every summer with the family. This was with our 2010 JKU sport auto. One memory from that trip was going across Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado, having it floored in third gear and only going 30 MPH! That was a great and memorable trip. The two of us and the two little ones (4 and 1)!

Here is our set-up. We love having the trailer because it is a portable bear box anywhere we go! We haul the trailer with our '07, but it's a dog in the mountains, even with the RIPP super charger. We're considering a 2012 but wonder if it would haul easily without a super charger. Any experience towing with the 2012 compared to the '07?

Yes, towing with my '12 JKUR is awesome compared to my '09. The 4:10 and Pentastar with stick shift give me lots of low end torque. And with no lift and stock tires, it actually drives, shifts nicer with a load.
