Just trying to get some ideas for a overlanding/towing vehicle that could do the Rubicon trail and also flat tow a 5000lb Jeep. I was thinking starting off with a FSJ like a Wagoneer. I would be open to other vehicles. I would like to run 37s with 8x6.5 bolt pattern to match Jeep in tow. Drivetrain would be a 6.0 LS with either a 6 or 8 speed auto and a NP241HD. I figure the older I go, the easier would be to do a stand alone system and simple gauges. I don't have smog checks where I live but I wouldn't mind trying to keep it compliant. Do you think it could be setup to safely tow while still using a good quality leaf spring suspension?
This is kinda what I had in mind, picture stolen from internet.
