The perfect upgrade for you is to sell it and buy a car. If you are driving on road all the time you bought the wrong vehicle.

Right. Except the towing. Wranglers suck for towing. You were 2 for 3 though...

...and when you are done, you'll still have a Jeep that handles like , well... pretty much crap on the road.

Meh, tows better than alot of cars ...especially my '97 Corolla that couldn't tow an empty trailer.
Legally you can only tow 2000 lb with a 'Wrangler'.
They have tons of power, it's the stopping that is an issue with a short wheel base and a heavy trailer. It can jackknife too easy.

Remove the gas cap and drive an Escalade underneath it.
Towing?????
Heh, sucks2bthatguy.com
I towed a number of things from trailers to other vehicles with my '88 YJ and never had a problem. Just don't go fast.
Or get popped...
I have had a cop nail me for a trailer too big. Had to drop it and call a tow truck 100 miles from home at 2 AM, it was an expensive hassle.

Bull S*it!
Tow limits are Very legal limits
The highway patrol will nail you in a second for an overload if they spot it! They carry portable scales in the trunk or can order you to a highway scale.
Been there, been nailed.
You have a sticker on your door or glove box that gives your GVWR. Go over this and you sure can get nailed!
I was told he let me off over $1000.00 in fines because I didn't hassle him when I was told to drop it and called a tow truck at 2 AM.
