Re: towing '95 Wrangler
We have the tow shackles on our 93 Wrangler. The tow shackles mount the
tow bar low on the towed vehicle, so the bar is aimed UP to the hitch.
This means stopping is safer. We don't have to worry that the Jeep is
going to climb into the bed of the tow vehicle. Plus the cleaner look.
The jeep appears stock. Down side is you can't leave the tow bar in
place, you have to take it off.
Since we have the smaller 2.5L, there is lotsa room in the engine
compartment. So I built a mount to hold the folded tow bar. It goes
everywhere the Jeep does. It can be towed by anyone, any time (as long
as they have a hitch and wire outlet). Like my dad, her dad,
fathers-in-law, brothers, friends, other jeepers...
I also installed a covered plug between the bumper and the grill. I have
a pigtail wire setup so as to just plug the jeep into the trailer outlet
on most any vehicle. Had to install two diodes, but now the jeep's
brake/running/taillights/turn signals work from the tow vehicle. Very
slick.
I removed the front bumper to the jeep and drilled two holes in the
bottom near the frame mounting points and installed two stainless
quicklinks. These are for the tow safety chains.
So, we have the tow bar under the hood, the chains and pigtail in a bag
in the Jeep trunk and the Jeep looks stock, no extra lights, no bumper
brackets. So the wife and I can go to places and leave at separate
times. This weekend was a good example. We needed to be in The Big City
for our daughter's birthday party on Saturday. Wife needed to be back
home on Sunday and I had to be in another town on Monday. We towed her
Jeep to TBC and unhitched. Had the party. She went home I went the other
way. Yet the whole family went together.
I also have installed them on my project jeep.
