How terrible was that? The car itself is almost the towing capacity of that jeep. Did the trailer have brakes?

Well its not great but it wasnt too terible. And yea, I was right at the towing capacity if not a little over. but the vic was totaled so Im not sure how much it actually weighed.

I'd be willing to bet the mid and high channel on the amp or head unit burned out.
Ok will check that out thanks

Yeah man, you gotta down that stinger down some. Like take out about 6" going from the bumper to the curve up or something... looks like a cow catcher lol

It's pretty good other than that though.

Better be careful with the trailer behind the jeep. That stinger might put you over the 60 foot maximum vehicle length.

Lol, I think the stinger is there in case the brakes aren't enough to stop with all the added weight.
