Towing a Jeep

[Gardner Yeaw]

Scott,
I selected a Blue Ox towbar, on sale about $500, the adapter for
my 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport, about $300, the braking system, $900,
and then the electrical hookup using the empty space in the tail
light housing, maybe another $50. I probably went overboard with the
Blue Ox, but it is pretty easy to connect and disconnect. I also
didn't want to see my Jeep passing me on a down hill streach because
I cheaped out.

I don't like the brake light setup, the extra space in the tail
light housing is small and seems inadequate. I am thinking about
installing relays and diodes to use the main assemblies.

It is probably the most expensive thing I have done so far.
