Also keep in mind my calculated amount leftover for cargo was based on maxing out the wheel limit. Because my towing capacity is something crazy like 8000 lbs, I'm not concerned about that limit myself.
If you do feel you can tow it, you will probably need a weight distributing hitch. This will transfer more weight back to the wheels which will probably mean you'll have to upgrade your wheels and tires, and add a lift kit, unless that's already been done.
Also, regarding towing ratings, I recall one member here pushed their towing rating and burned out their transmission. It's not always about safety, but also wear and tear. I see that the Wrangler has a manual transmission, so it may fare better.
