They need maintenance to insure operating smoothly. WD 40 should be sprayed on the bar that goes into the sleeve when bar is open and then cleaned and sprayed again, every time it's used. They also come with a cover that should be on when not in use. Your toad is heavy maybe 4500 LBS not 45000. So you have to have a brake system and break away cable, plus lights. Then depending what transmission you have you may need a transmission fluid pump.
The Quadra-Trac/Drive transfer cases do not need anything to be towed 4 down. As long as you have one of those transfer cases the tranny spins naught. The new GK WK-2s are way heavier than 4500lbs, probably in the region of 5400lbs. Either way, that tow bar should work great. He definately meant $45k. Jeep thinks a lot of their new GC as they are very expensive. Local dealer can't seem to keep them on the lot, however......
