I've gotten several different suggestions on how the safety cable should be ran. Can some one post a picture or video ;) of how seafety cable should properly be connected specifically with the ready brute?
The ReadyBrute is connected no differently than connecting any other tow bar or trailer safety cables or chains.
From page 8 of the NHTSA's trailer towing guide:
"Make sure the hitch has provisions for the connection of safety chains, which are required by most states. When connected, safety chains should have some slack to permit sharp turns but should not drag on the road. In addition, they should cross under the trailer tongue to help prevent the tongue from dropping to the road in the event the trailer separates from the tow vehicle." (emphasis added)
