oft013 23 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 What brand/ type of tow bar would you recommend? Also what additional equipment would you recommend for flat towing a jeep? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I've always used BLUE OX and it worked great when we had the Cherokee. I also use a Brake Buddy and it has served me well for many years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 We plan to get a Blue Ox for our CR-V when we can afford it. Blue Ox versus trip to the fort ... so far the trip always wins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DinDavie 37 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have the heavier Blue Ox tow bar and found it the easiest to attach and unattach. Jeeps are supposed to be the easiest to tow 4 down but if it is over 3000 lbs then you should have a braking system. I have the SMI system that is perminently installed on my Equinox. It works off the brake lights of the motorhome and does not need to be removed or detached when you want to use the Jeep. I just flip one switch and pull one fuse and I am set to go. From what I can see towing 4 down is the safest and simplest way to tow a vehicle. My whole attaching and detaching routine takes me 10 minutes and that includes a full check of the lights and signals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 772 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have a Blue Ox on my jeep and love it. I had another brand before it and it was nothing compared to the quality of Blue Ox. I never have to worry about the workmanship with them, ever. Spend the extra money, it is so worth it.

oft013 23 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 thanks for the feedback. It looks like Blue Ox is the answer. One more question: I know I saw this in another thread here But of course I can't find it now. What is recommended to re-seal a roof? Whatever the recommendation was it came in both a tube and as tape. Again thanks for the feedback and direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
