Got my bucking problem squared away

I think the biggest thing with the towing capasity is the wheelbase of the Jeep. If you get too much weight on it the boat will be driving the Jeep. I would think that the Unlimited would have a higher towing capacity. If you are close you should be OK just drive cautiously. It looks like your worst case is under 2000 lbs so you should be OK. If you add the bigger tires it will not tow as strong unless you regear. The 6 cyl does not usually come with 4.10 from what I have heard. I think the 5 speed is something like 3.73 and auto is 3.07 but I am not sure on that. I know some buy the axles from 4 cyl jeeps that have the 4.10 I guess it is cheeper than swapping gears. If you have a Dana 44 rear than you would not want to do that.

I do not know a lot about TJ's but this should be a start.
