    back in '03 we had the same question when we wanted to tow our '03 2-dr wrangler. I looked at all the options including the Brake Buddy and rejected it simply because there was no good place to store it when we weren't using it. it was, and likely still is, too large to store in the jeep and I didn't want to have to constantly move it here and there. I also didn't want to depend on a cigarette lighter plug to keep it powered.

    we went with a semi-permanent braking solution (Unified Tow Brake from US Gear). the UTB is essentially out of business now but there are other similar products that will install in your jeep but which can be removed when you sell your jeep and reinstalled in your next toad. the ReadyBrake fromNSA RV Products is something i'll likely switch to when/if my UTB finally bites the dust.
  • since I wanted to be able to switch toads and RVs I used a Brake buddy myself.
