Supplemental Brake Systems - update 8/7/06

Great informative post. Thanks. We use the ReadyBrake system along with the ReadyBrute tow bar. When we were ready to tow the Jeep I wanted a simple system and one that wouldn't break the bank. Since I have some DIY abilities, I took a look at ready brake. I spent a few weeks on ebay looking for some Roadmaster Brakets. Found them for $175.00. Next was a wiring harness, I went with Cooltech, 90.00. I bought a Roadmaster umbilical cord for $70.00. All I had to do was to cut off one end of the 6 prong connector and solder on a round 4 to match what I had done on the Jeep. Lastly the towbar. I bought the ReadyBrute complete kit 902.00. It came with the towbar, aux brake, brake away, indicator and brake light switch relay. The ReadyBrute uses the same ends as Demco. The Demco to Roadmaster towbar adapter was around 90.00. For about $1400.00 we did what I think is one of the nicest setups around. The surge brakes work as intended. Haven't had to make an emergency stop yet but a few that were at least "urgent". You can feel the Jeep giving a good pull on the MH.
