I finally finished it. I took it for a test drive or Tow, and it is fine.















I made it so it will come apart really easy for storage .
























I also installed the towing lights in the taillights. I added an extra socket in the lower light. It is not used from the factory.

 

This is the First time dragging the jeep to the Dez.

Heading to the Hammers.

 

Do you mind explaining how you setup your t-case and tranny to flat tow? I've read a bunch of different ways. I.e. tcase in n, tranny in park or gear, tcase in n and tranny in n. How do you run your setup? Thanks!! Nice job on the fabrication!!

 

Looks good. If you want or find you need to add a little strength to your mounts on the frame, what you can do is run a strip back under the sway bar brackets and install a little longer bolts for the sway bar brackets and sandwich the tow bar brackets. This is how my front hitch is mounted on my XJ.

 

Nice job dude. Can't believe I missed this one, LOL

 

Very nice job!


One suggestion I have towed for quite a few years behind my Motor Home and you could have done your lighting much easier on all of mine they are wired in the front. I take them to my RV repair shop and for $25 each he wired my Jeeps and supplied all parts. All the turn signals, park lights, running lights all work just plug into the Motor Home trailer plug.


I do pull the XJ on a trailer part of the time also here are all 3 the Motor Home is a 37' Diesel Pusher.

 

Trans in park, T Case in N. Ignition key in the first position just to take the steering lock off.
