Ready brute, ready brake

Hello we are setting our rv up to tow and the person we purchased it from had given us a ready brute/ready brake system that is I think a 2006 model. He used a blue ox. Initially I thought the ready brute was probably junk and we would have to buy another system. Non of the rv dealers and the fantastic camping world ( and yes I am being sarcastic) had ever heard of it. However thanks to the people on this forum I discover we actually had a pretty decent system, just could not find an installer. Finally I went to the ready brute web site and they listed authorized dealers. We have chosen a place called DN rv in alabama to install. We know for sure that our system is missing the cable and it may have other parts missing but the dealer assured us he could let us know if it was safe and functioning. I know the previous owner never used it so not sure when it was last used. I do have a few questions,
1- is there anything that we need to watch out for with this system? Anything likely to break or malfunction?
2- does it have enough stopping power in the mountains? We will be using the ready brake. Our tow vehicle weighs 4040 lbs.
3- anyone using one that old? 2006? They have a lifetime warranty so I assume they are well built?
4- does the type of towing system you install have anything to do with the tail wagging effect I hear so much about and if so is this system prone to contributing to that?
It is going to cost us about 1100.00 to set the jeep up to tow so I would like to do this right the first time.
Thanks zigpep

I would have no other system for it's performance, simplicity and cost effectiveness, especially when you install it yourself, which I did. We had it a few years now and it's been serving us well all over the country, including the mountain passes of the Rockies. It feels like the rig stops even better with the toad attached and after all you do have four more wheels for braking that's very capable of stopping more than it's own weight.
With the Jeep, I used DEMCO base plates because they were on sale at the time, but now would have no other for this application and doubt if there's anything out there, any tougher, either.
Also used a COOLTECH wiring harness for the JK's lights and feel it's the best out there for these models. For other models, I like using an independent system, wired onto a hitch haul or making up a light bar of sorts for plugging into the toad's hitch receiver.
