Towing a Jeep

[dandarst]

Scott.
Been towing a LWB Rubicon the past couple years (4100 pounds).
Started with the 130 dollar Reese fixed tow bar and it worked fine.
Problem for me was that it greased up my clothes when removing it
from the Jeep and the bus, and then needed to find a place to set it
while camping so no one tripped over it and it didn't get gooked up
with dirt and other nature. Changed to a Roadmaster 8000 pound one
that folds up on the back of the bus, much more user friendly, but
more dollars. And its heavy when it comes to removing it from the
bus. Brother Jay uses the lightest blue ox model they make. In the
past four years he has rebuilt it once. I don't think the Roadmaster
is rebuildable and it probably won't need to be.
For tow tail lights, I took the factory light assembly apart on the
Jeep and installed a separate additional socket for a separate bulb
with separate wire threaded through the inside of the starboard
frame rail rear to front ending with a flat four connector.
