M@G Braking System

I installed one on our 2002 Grand Cherokee Overland and it was easy enough. 2002 and 2003 should be the same. The GC changed design in 2005 if I recall.

Thanks for the info. I figured it was a simple install so I reckon I'll go ahead and order one. With luck the most difficult part of the install will be routing the air line from the unit to the front fascia.

Personally, I think the M&G is one of the best systems out there. I would own one, but it didn't fit on my first toad, so I went with the SMI Air Force One. It's real similar in performance if the M7G doesn't fit.

I have installed the MG Brake system on a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 2012 Ford F150 Eco Boost. The installation is not that big of a deal in terms of inserting the the brake between the master cylinder and the vacuum boost...

Each vehicle will be different... The F150 was the most involved...

The instructions from M&G are very detailed, the kits come will everything needed... In addition the M&G folks are very helpful if you call them...which I have on every installation...

I have somewhere in the vicinity of 300,000 miles of towing using the M&G brake system... Never had even the hint of a problem.

Aside from the performance of the brake system and its reliability, Hook up is basically connecting an air line.

Once installed there is no effect on the dingy brakes when driving the dinghy... You will not know its there.

If you opt for the break away.. The installation gets a bit more complicated depending on the real estate available to install the manifold and cylinder...

Last summer I made another camper happy who could not put M&G on his new toad when I showed him my DIY rig. A 1.25" air cylinder is just right for the amount of pressure you need once the vacuum assist is bled off. Something like this is all that you need but having pressure for breakaway is more complicated. I do not need this as I set the parking brake on my toad. Might want to click on "How I tow" below before jumping on that one.:W
Takes about 30 seconds to install as the conduit goes over the screw to keep it in place. The nylon rope has a loop big enough to go around half of the brake pedal and the rubber strap pulls it back.

I am really interested in this discussion. I have M&G system on my MH and when I traded out the Saturn for a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude, M&G told me there was not room for the module on my toad. Are you saying there is a way to make it fit? I have held off buying another system as I was so happy with it. I would have to have someone else install it and since I let the one go on the Saturn, I would need a new one. Do you guys have any ideas for me?

Thanks.

I've installed my M & G brake system on two different toads and thought it was easy.I just bent the steel lines back enough to allow clearance for the air cylinder. Been using this system for over 7 years and it's never skipped a beat. Probably the most difficult part was tapping into the air brake system but easy with the right fittings. I like it as there's no electronics to go south, is proportional and hooks up in 5 seconds.
