Towing a 40. Couple q's.

[Volcanic Iceberg]

I bought 63' a couple of weeks ago in slc and attached a tow bar in the p.o.'s driveway it tracked perfectly for 400 miles BEHIND MY 2001 GRAND CHEROKEE. No problems at all. Worked great.

Search my old posts dating some time back to May, June, July 2008.

I installed an "A" arm that was rated to 2.5-3 tons that I bought cheaply on E-bay with a brake assist.

The brake assist kicked @$$.

I pulled my BJ-44 with my 2003 Durango.

I did not know it, but the BJ-44 outweighed the Durango by at least 1/2 ton. I never felt it, because the brake assist activated the Landcruiser's brakes and made her feel lighter than she was by at least a ton.

The only problem is that in turns the system is not as good, and I need to slow to 50MPH in wide turns, and 25 MPH in sharp turns.

Otherwise I pulled at up to 75MPH with my 2003 Durango that has a small 4.7 liter engine.

The braking system worked as advertised, and was awesome. It took maybe 1/2 hour to install it.

I learned about the system here on MUD.

Best part.......I own the system and can use it time and time again and never need to beg U-haul to let me use a trailer.

Best,

Hi T,
Do you have any info on that brake assist? I googled, searched Ebay but couldn't find it.
Thanks, Brian.
