Tow bar

[6805eagleguy]

We have a blue ox, because it is almost invisible when toad is not hooked to bus.

Of course, the other reason is that they are made in Nebraska

Dave, doesn't bother me at all, the jeep came with the brackets and i paid $100 for the towbar today so i am good to go!

Sorry Ed you have a Tj , my jk has a bolt on replacement for the cheep plastic skid plate, 1/4 steel ready for the blue ox, but I'm not sure if there's one for the Tj. Trying searching for a "blue ox Tj wrangler mounting plate" sorry again

Now on to the rating of the tow bar, round tube or square tube, wiring and the toad braking it always gets good

Part two of this is what braking system to use...

Yep I have owned 3 manufactures of braking systems and if you have room the M/G is the one I like best,it's preference like tow bars I don't like Roadmaster or BlueOx ,I didn't care for the price but I ordered a Demco now I need a new tow vehicle the Envoy is easy to tow but is a heavy sucker it is as heavy as Hatt's 450 Lexus   

[chessie4905]

Yeah, I couldnt believe our Envoy was that heavy, like 5400 lbs. Ours had the 6 cylinder. It was like an inline Northstar. 20+ mpg on the interstate, but a heavy vehicle to tow. Sold it with about 206,000. Never used any oil either.

Clifford what about the Buick? Rides nice, A/C works well comfy seats, come on now, LOL

@ Niles, I have the TJ.
Ed has a Cherokee

[dtcerrato]

It was great getting down to 4600lbs with the Cherokee after hauling the 6100lb Sierra. We love the $100 tow bar and the toad M/G supplemental brakes. Can't count how many times the toad four down on the tow bar has bailed us out...(hooked to the bus!)
Our 77 CJ5 and VW. Beetle toads were the lightest at just under 1-1/2 tons.
