Tow Kits for TOAD

We just equipped an '08 Wrangler Unlimited X for a tow up to AK. We selected the Blue Ox, tow bar and base plate, and use the Mopar wiring harness that sets up the jeep for towing lights without modifications. Used M&G brakes because I wanted to utilize the MH's air braking system to keep things simple.

The BlueOx setup was super easy to hook up/disconnect, and the mopar harness did its job. The air braking system was silly easy to use too, one hose-two quick disconnects. The whole setup took a real beating on the 11,000 mile trip and other than some scuffed up paint on the tow bar, there doesn't seem to be any sign of fatigue.

With regard to the installation: I think selecting a guy who is familiar with the equipment, authorized by the manufacturer, and does the installations every day for a living, is the way to go.

After doing much research on baseplates for my Explorer I went to my local well known, trusted hitch shop to arrange for purchase and instillation. He said nice but how about. To make the story short, this man knows his business, has been around for many years, he was the one going to do the install, so I took his suggestion. If your doing the work yourself, it's a whole different story. But just saying.

I just had a blue ox tow kit installed with the patriot braking system.
I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler sport towing it 4 down.
And thank you for your service.
