This is my spare kit for towing. It just accumulates over the years. Everything is a double and for hitches I don’t even have anymore. I’m the go to guy when it comes to losing something on the road.
I had to install a 12’ extension bar to our receiver. I had to do this to have the rock shield netting away from the exhaust pipe. Otherwise it would have melted it.
Here’s a better close up of it. This reduces the towing capacity. I would say it’s down to 5,000 lbs now. The Jeep probably weighs about 3,500 lbs. I knew exactly when I was doing all this year. As you can see everything is heavy duty.
I have no movement in the tow bar receivers. I have three tighting devices installed. My tow bar does not move AT ALL.
I don’t like that slop of it moving around like almost hitches do. It’s not just pull a pen and slide it out. It takes me about 20 minutes with tools to remove my tow bar assembly from the motorhome.
You know what, the peace of mind is priceless.
See ya…..
