Or if you’re good with a Jeep Wrangler and no toad brakes, couple hundred bucks gets you a tow bar and some magnetic tail lights. Easy peasy.
Does the Jeep not require a base plate? I often thought it should be simple to attach a tow bar to the recovery hooks on a Jeep or other 4wd vehicle.
Think about the liability involved. You need to follow the designed procedure when towing something 4500 lbs with a 13,000 lb rv.
* You need to use a baseplate which offers multiple attachment points opposed to a set of tow hooks which are designed for a strap and winch emergency pull-out.
I agree with the need to do it properly. Not suggesting otherwise. I am asking Grit Dog if he is saying there is an alternative to disassembling the front end of a Jeep, or other vehicles, to properly connect a toad to the tow bar setup. ie.. If I were to remove the recovery hooks from a 4X4 (which connect to the frame) is there a system which connects to the frame there w/o removing most of the front end. I only ask this because his post seems to suggest this.
