The ZJ is rated at 2300 kgs towing not 3500 kgs  :icon_winkle:

that's a worry :hysterical:......but in all seriousness there is a sticker on the drivers side cill that says 3500 kg?????   

all I can say is that whatever it says the ZJ ain't up to it......... As you all know......I have tested so you my Birty mates don't have to  :icon_super:

very few 4x4s around....... ( unmolested and not lifted with 35s)

Ideal is an extra cab 4x4 cummins with 5 speed.......none around :jpshakehead:

Second best is anything with a cummins :icon_twisted:

Tis only KORC that will cause a prob...... So far I think.
