We bought a Wrangler today and it will be our toad. I thought I would have to spend thousands, but thanks to you I don’t. Thank you for sharing! Anyone want to buy a lightly used tow dolly? Lol

Thanks for showing how break away works and introducing me to Ready Brake.

Pretty much what I'm going to do with an F150 but I'll have to get a heavier tow bar at about 12 times the cost. But then again I'll be living in my motor home. Thanks for the walk through, that's the first time I've seen the break-away cable installed.

Thanks. Like the "mechanical" breakaway system. I might mount them above the bumper to keep brush from grabbing it when off-road

The only thing I would tell you to do differently, anytime you mount 2 pieces of metal together, use a silicone base caulk for a protective layer between the metal to keep out corrosion. If the caulk smells like vinegar, DO NOT USE IT, it is corrosive! I used to do metal work on aircraft and it helps tremendously to stop corrosion. Great job otherwise! I am going to use this same system to flat tow our Jeep behind our class A. Other systems like Blue Ox will cost around 6 grand, way out of my budget!! Thanks for the video, 2 thumbs up!!

Did you consider a flat tow adapter that connects to the D-ring mounts? If you considered that option, were there strength considerations?

Anyone that bolts this to any bumper. Please add metal spacers before the nuts. Spreads out the force over a larger spot. Look up how say a hitch on the rear is mounted to the frame. They use bigger metal blocks even on the frame.

I thought it was a little funny that you use a level when installing those mounts. As if the Jeep itself is perfectly level parked on that stone driveway? Why bother, as long as the mounts are level with the bumper itself? lol Great video though, I wasn't trying to be critical!

Why the extra hole down low on the bumper passenger side?! 😊

What was the tow rating of the bumper, I have an aftermarket bumper that looks similar but am being told it is not rated for towing

Great video. What was the reason you installed extra mounts as opposed to just connecting to the the D rings?

How did you hook up the braking cable, without your tow bar/tow hitch interfering in turns?
@ChiefStones4 жыл бұрын
I'm curious how the cable is holding up after being in the salt and rain. Has it rusted yet?
@JackofAllMasterofNone4 жыл бұрын
Not at all. In fact I sold the Jeep and transferred the whole system in to my Honda Civic.

Good video. After some time to test this set up, are you still happy with it?
@JackofAllMasterofNone5 жыл бұрын
I just sold the car with it but yes it never had any problems. The beauty of the system was its simplicity. Less to break

I just stumbled across your channel. I am looking at towing my '94 Wrangler behind my SUV and this looks like a very good alternative for me. Will this be able to apply breaking to a hydraulic system without the engine running? Thanks I enjoyed the information that you provided. Do you miss your Wrangler?
@JackofAllMasterofNone4 жыл бұрын
Yes. It's meant to be used with the towed vehicle being turned off.

@Steezicus4 жыл бұрын
I ordered an almost similar setup and I have to raise the tow bar a lot, is it okay to use the ball hitch raise like you have or is it better to use the receiver insert with another receiver welded on top like I see on Ready Brakes website?
@Steezicus4 жыл бұрын
If anyone is wondering, I asked readybrake and they said you cannot have a hitch ball riser. That causes binding when the inertia is pushing on the ball. You need to get a receiver riser.
