Any Dually Gladiators?

[Jorgito]

I want to convert mine to tow a 46 CJ-2A at least in my dreams. Has someone done it?

Anything is possible if you want to spend the money, but why? It's still too light of a vehicle with not enough power for a towing vehicle. Gas motor runs high rpm and eats fuel and the diesel has issues overheating. Anyways here's another thread talking about it.

Just flat tow the CJ. No reason to make your Gladiator a dually. Which is not feasible anyway

A 2500 lb early CJ on a 1500 lb trailer would be well within specs for a JT?

 

[Jefe1018]

If memory serves me correct…

Any trim outside of a Rubicon (gasser) or Sport S with max tow package, having an automatic trans and those with a diesel are rated for 6,000lbs.

Rubicon gasser with auto trans is rated for 7,000lbs.

Sport S with max tow option is 7,000lbs+.

Drive a manual trans? That’s 4,500lbs.

Why wouldn’t you be able to tow a vehicle that weighs 2,215lbs? Even with a trailer you should be well within your limits.

The only thing I see on that rig is the shit-job on the rear fenders.

not a dually but could have dual skinny wheels and tires. Someone posted this in another thread recently

you CAN do whatever you want, with reasonable fab/mechanical skills it wouldn't be hard to bolt a dually axle in the rear, but it won't do a single thing to increase your legal payload capacity.

you could put a full 1-ton f450 drivetrain in a gladiator and box the entire frame, and your towing capacity is still exactly what it was from the factory. Overload the gladiator and get in a wreck and you're liable, insurance company won't care what "mods" you've done to increase towing....

This is a thing.

Looks like that one is a dually

I could not see the dual wheels in the original picture and the wheel looked like it has more backspacing than it really does.

article about it and it looks like there is a build done on

Do whatever you want to a Gladiator but it will never have a larger "legal" tow and payload rating no matter what you do to it.

Another great thread title.
