Towing a Jeep
Scott: I have never towed a Jeep but from my reading in other forums
many Jeep owners elect to install seperate bulbs in the tail light assembly. This saves a lot of wiring headaches. Those $79.00 tow bars are made in China. I would never use one . It all depends what you want. A simple Reese tow Bar is around $130.00. The popular folding tow bars ( Roadmaster or Blue Ox) can cost you a lot more. We have used all 3 that I mentioned and my favorite is the Blue Ox. Pricey but well made. You can find rebuilt units on the net and they are as good as the new babies. Towing a vehicle can be an expensive game. Here are some approximate prices: Tow Bar $400 to $500, base plate $150 and up,safety chains and electrical cable $130. You probably should have a braking system. I dont want to start a whole discussion on that subject but if you decide it is necessary I recommend either the M&G or the US Gear Unified tow brake, about $1000. If you are not mechanically inclined the installation could easily be $500 or more. Hope this helps. Bruce 1988 FC35 |
