Best video ever. I was about to purchase a whole new tow system for the Wrangler I just purchased until I heard you say Blue Ox universal bracket! I also just bought the same brake buddy and needed a good tutorial. Thanks man!

Ben, thanks man, my wife and I have been towing our 2015 Rubicon all WRONG! I have been leaving the key in the accessory position this entire time. GREAT to know about the 12 volt adapter in the center console is always on. I am towing the Jeep later today and this was GREAT information. THANK YOU!

Thank you very much for this video. Just drove across 3 states to pick up a right hand drive Jeep to take with us when moving to Kenya. I'm glad I watched this before taking off. I would've killed the transmission.

The steering dont lock? They do on a CJ.

Thank you so much for posting this. We just bought a new RV and a new to us 2018 JK and today will be the first day we practice hooking things up and trying out the blue ox version of the brake buddy. I am most concerned to make sure we do the jeeps neutral transfer case and Park properly and of course I’ll read the manual to see how we put it back to driving once we get to our destination.

Hello we did a straight 7 hr drive and when we arrived the 21 jeep jl wouldn't start. I use the blue ox patriot brake system and our installer installed a drive and tow switch that I believe transfers the control of the turn signals and braking to the rv. What I noticed that event though I have confirmed power going too my battery from the rv when I hit the brake it puts my ignition in ready to start mode while driving. Last tow I started the jeep each time I got fuel and that seems to work. Driving to Montana from San Diego so a lil nervous has this happened to you?

[samdesylva]

Thank you. Video was very informative and well done.

[deandobbs]

Perfect lesson you gave! I was trying to see if I need to leave the key in aux like the manual said! Guess not!
Thanks

So im planning on flat towing a 2012 jeep wrangler stick shift. My question is how can i put the key ignition into the unlocked position so the jeep can turn wheels when I go to make a turn with the towing vehicle.

[rudetoy]

As you stumbling along to put your Jeep transfer case in neutral, due to not yet in 4x4 mode, it is confusing as you only show the shifters and not what your Jeep shows at the dashboard.

[azimmey]

I get grinding if I put it in neutral and trans back in park. I have to shut it off to shift back to park.

My 2008 Wrangler has steering wheel lock after 1/2 turn. Lot of people have ruined tires thinking they did not have a SW lock. Be sure to turn more than 1/2 turn to test.

[CD-WDOS]

Looks like those brackets on the bumper would get destroyed on the rocks. Have any issues ?

[oreospeedwaggindoesamerica]

Thanks I just bought a Motorhome and bought a jeep to flat tow today and this helps!

[michaelglick]

What size lift kit do you have in the Jeep and what size tires? I have 4.5" lift kit with 37" tires. Do you worry about the mounts to the bumper getting taken out by a rock when off roading?

[jeffgriggs]

How many times have you had to jump start the Jeep when using the brake assist?

[clarencewelker]

Just wanted to say hello and great how to video! My question is on your break controller in the Jeep does the compressor run all the time?
