I have tendency towards light duty 3/4 tons for performance trucks having cooked a few sets of 1/2 ton pads+rotors when I am doing stupid garbage or towing. While 3/4 or even 1 ton stuff has gotten hot it never got as far.
It was a lesson I learned, and always go back to when doing brakes.
Since the wheel, and tire package I plan to run will weigh roughly 100 pounds a corner. The rims weigh 40 pounds, and 55 for the tire. Where the factory F150 wheel tire package weighs roughly 65 pounds a corner. I weighed them on a scale, and that's what I remember it being.
And while I would not use the Willys to tow a car trailer. I am thinking that I could turn my large weather guard cross bed tool box into a trailer for camping gear. I recently saw a new Jeep doing something similar, and it sounds like a neat idea.
Plus people in california typically drive like ted kennedy 5 minutes before the bar closes. So I just want to be safe.
