You should cross the safety chains when towing to the opposite side. The point is to catch and cradle the tow hitch in the case it comes unhooked.

That's what I was thinking.

I just bought this tow bar. I used it last week to drive from Phoenix to Dallas. It worked very well and had no problems. I used the d ring on my warn bumper of a jeep JKU, pulled it with Silverado 1500.

@@extremeterrain So if the bumper has 'D-Ring mounts', this is legal? Do you have an actual list manufactures of aftermarket bumpers that qualify, I have heard a lot of contradictory information about using the 'D-Ring mounts'. It does seem to make sense though, just wondering about the legal aspect of this method. Thanks

This video started off so promising with a picture of a Jeep just like mine behind the presenter. But then to install it, he used an entirely different looking Jeep equipped with a totally different bumper. If the first step is to replace the bumper, then it would be nice to tell us so, and with what & how (perhaps a link to another video). :(

Thanks for the video. Its difficult for people to realize, you are just showing the tow bar kit. Whether the vehicle can be flat towed, or even if it is legal to flat tow in their state, is for the Jeep owner to decipher.

Should cross safety chains at vehicle to keep ball mount from hitting ground in case mount comes off ball.

I'm installing this now and had to go to home depot to replace the hardware, I couldn't tighten the locking nuts on the bolts even with an impact wrench...I'm guessing they were defective, very puzzling. The new hardware {class 8} went on like butter.

@hughbegg274 10 ай бұрын

The supplied nuts were lock nuts with nylon in the last few threads to lock the hardware together. Regular grade 8 won’t act the same way

You forgot to mention a wiring harness for the lights on the back of the Jeep. I believe this would be rather necessary.

@extremeterrain 4 жыл бұрын

That would definitely be helpful! We opted not to cover install of a wiring harness though simple because this kit is just for the tow-bar itself. -Zach

@marshallabbott9385 4 жыл бұрын

It looks like the brackets come with East disconnect bars that would allow you to easily take the bar off the bumper. You chose to use the bolt that needs a tool to take it on and off the bumper. Why not just use the quick disconnects and remove the tow bar very easily from the Jeep?

@chrisevans9081 4 жыл бұрын

I read the quick release bolts are for short haul, the manufacturer recommends the bolts for cross country.

This tow bar is a piece of crap for flat towing a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Its rated up to 4000# a wrangler Unlimited is 5000# Plus if you have aftermarket accessories. The Harbor Freight A frame tow bar is 1/3 the price rated at 5000# The smittybilt bolt ripped out of the thin metal , Jeep then came forward ans hit the RV.
