    Do you have a specific need in mind?

    I have towed small cargo trailers with my CJ-5 using the draw bar hitch. Works fine. Don't think I'd want to tow a bigger trailer though. If you wanted to move a bigger trailer around the yard, it would be fine, but I would not go on the highway towing more than a couple thousand pounds max.

    Here is where the project is now. 3" addition to the rear frame and 3" square tube rear bumper.
    The combination of the 302 ford, toploader 4 speed and adapter to Dana 18 puts the shifter right in the corner of the under seat tank.

    That looks really nice. I think I would trim the ends back a bit on the "bumper". I was always bending the stock ones back after just about every trail run and I made the replacement B bumper with stubbies. It's been on there 13 years now and there has been no damage to the tub yet.
