Yup,we're in Bristol (about 8 miles from the Speedway,not that we're big fans-though I do take my son to the truck race since it's a double header and the wife has gotten 2 free tickets the last 2 years at work,LOL).
LOVE my XJ! IDK why I waited so long to buy one (having owned well more than my,your,and 3 buddy's fair share of vehicles over the years,LOL),but I'm not likely to let it go anytime soon.
There's been talk that if this 2500lb TT is a bit much for it (being 16 years old with 208K miles on it...the 4.0L is legendary,but not really a powerhouse ;) :p ) of buying a nice,well maintained V8 ZJ or WJ next Spring. Not that I think it will be,hahaha,but I'd have one to play with and one to maintain/keep stock that way :p
2500lbs? My 6x12 weighs almost 2000 empty. I loaded two motorcycles and the rest of my worldly belongings on it and went over the Blue Ridge mountains with my XJ back in 06. I was at the limit (4000lbs) and it did fine for me. Just not real fast going up that long grade. I can't believe your Jeep would have any trouble towing 2500lbs.
