bunch of reasons this was inevitable. chevy has an open differential in the back, and is probably only 2WD. the chevy has much larger wheel/tire combo than it was intended for, meaning that the power it has is spread over a much larger surface area, giving it less pulling power. the jeep has a locking diff in the front and rear, with stock or near stock sized wheel/tire combo.

Not to mention the retarded pinion angle on that Chev driveline.

That's not even remotely close to what happened. For starters the truck only had 1 tire turning and it had power in abundance evidenced by all the smoke and it only coming from the right rear. Jeeps are known for many things but, a powerful engine is not one of them lol.
This is due to to the relative lack of weight on the rear wheels of the truck since there is very little steel over them. The jeep Haas more steel over the rear tires along with a spare tire over the fulcrum providing more down force on the rear tires. The height advantage on the truck helps a little bit but the cable is so long the angle is only about 5 to 10 degrees so it won't provide much of an advantage. A better test would be to load the back ends of both vehicles with their max load and then try to pull.

well that was unexpected

Especially considering the height difference. The larger truck, it seems to me, should slightly lift the smaller one's back wheels, giving it less traction.
