Ironically, I installed a trailer brake kit in this a few years ago and have been lucky to fit on my buddies goose each year and never needed to tow my Jeeps w/ this yet...well, wheeling, anyway.
I do have plans to get the JK on a single car this spring to Moab and put it to it's first real west bound trek tho, so here it is as it sits now: Love it, best vehicle I've ever owned! Yes, it is dirty as hell! B

The trailer brake controller has literally never been used. I thought about putting trailer brakes on the ATV trailer just so I could justify having it in the truck. |

LOL, nice! Yeah, I towed my 18' trailer when I moved, several trips...even the Jeep to get it up here, but never once hooked up a trailer that needed the controller since
I did go w/ the factory version tho, it's super clean. Truck had the tow pkg, just not the controller. I've not looked at a new truck since I sat in this one, and I have no plans in doing so for the near future! B

It took me a year to sell this in '08, fuckin' nobody wanted a big SUV after the gas hikes, now everyone is buying them again.

15 Laramie, tows like a dream.
Except when flat towing a Jeep with old hard tires on a twisty icy road. |

Cruisers post reminded me I didn't actually post a picture of my "rig" actually "towing" anything. Let me correct that....

That setup was a HUGE improvement over the one we took the trip before
I'll have to dig to find pix of that - epic year! Still wondering if that Ram will make another trip, any plans before March to get rid of that Camaro B

This one is a 32'. 28' deck, 4' dovetail. Works great. Eats tires though. at 30' you may have the ass hanging on the back JK if you run spare tire carriers. JK + TJ is no issues. |

LOL, found a pic of it the day you drove up and showed me what you got
Can't find any more tho, seems that phone w/ all the pix got trashed or sold immediately after the trip, cuz I have NO photos of it
