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.
