Excited and ready for first time towing

I'm excited and nervous at the same time. First of all I'm ready for vacation...off to Arkansas for a week of vacation. Second, I'm anxious about doing things right with my first time towing our Jeep. I just hope I have everything set up right and it works.

I have the Blue Ox tow bar. I have the mounting tabs on the front bumper of my Rock Hard bumper. I have a 4" Roadmaster receiver riser to line up with the Jeep bumper. The Jeep has a 4" lift kit and the tabs and tow bar line up level.

I had Camping World install an independent light kit and wiring harness. They put in a seven wire so the Jeep can charge (I hope) when towed.

For brakes I have the iRV2 auxiliary brake for the Jeep. The break-away was put in by my local mechanic. (I hope it stays connected.)

I know I see enough old farts like me doing it that I can do it too, but I worry like crazy that my lights will come disconnected with the cable dragging it to shreds, that the break-away will come loose and cause the iRV2 to kick in and shred the Jeep tires, or that I'll just screw up and clip something on a corner. :D

Wish me luck. I'm doing it come hell or high water.
