no picture, but i towed a 2500# two axle dump trailer in my 96 passat. with a homemade hitch no less, i guess the hitch passed the stress test.
How did you determine which kit to buy? The Jetta's not listed as an application for any of the Airlift 1000 variations that I could find. Still would like to get some for my JSW!pictures.
bags eh?
~250 miles, one complete 1.6TD "engine in a bag" including manifolds, turbo, injector pump and flywheel on the passenger seat. 3x 1.6(t)d long blocks across the backseat. two short blocks in the trunk along with a spare crank, tranny, pile of alternators, and a few other tidbits. the vroombox isn't for show, it held another 020 tranny, flywheels/pp/clutch, injector lines, brackets for everything, sproggits, etc. total weight? yes. avg speed? 65mph + an hour of 5mph stop and go. mpg for trip ~40mpg
my jetta has the most displacement ever. ~12,000cc three turbos, 15 forward gears, 40 valves, and a whole lotta kickass
Thanks for the link! At least it's a starting point.BuilderBob, p/n info here, though this is for MK4 and might not apply to your car:

Like they said in the Top Gear episode (season 8, episode... 6?) where they go on a caravan holiday.Trailer sway is NOT fun...
Airlift 1000 kit: $100 on the credit card...
Getting across the border with 1000lbs of stuff in your Jetta with "jus a lil squat": priceless!
I was gonna say, that car should not be squatting at all with 50 psi in the airlift 1000 bags but then you told us what was in it. Holy crap.
The truck weighs approximately 3775lbs (it may be lighter with the TDI engine instead of the V6)What did the Toyota and Airstream weigh together? Any idea?
No trouble on the hills at all.looks good paul. no trouble making it up hills?
why do people unhook their campers when parked? wouldn't you rather keep it hitched onto the car still?
