Hi Bobby,

Prepare for glacier-like acceleration and very, very long braking distances. Those uHaul trailers are pretty darn heavy on their own, never mind with a vanagon on top.

If the jeep is an automatic ( BTW I know virtually nothing of Jeeps) a transmission cooler might be a wise modification, esp. if you plan to do this sort of thing regularly.
