Yes I’m not a rock crawler but I have been known to go on trails that the truck would not be able to. I want to do all the passes and things in Colorado and I don’t want to worry about the truck making some tight turns or shelf roads. I love to explore though hence the jeep!Riverrunner said:When I had a jeep I flat towed it as well. Worked great and allowed "camp" to remain set up. I set mine up to tow from the D rings on an aftermarket bumper. Some of the mounts cost almost as much as the bumper so that was a no brainer. There is an aftermarket wire harness that is plug and play for lights so hooking up the Jeep was just like hooking up a trailer.
As camelracer pointed out, some states require brakes. Oregon doesn't if I recall and I never felt the need for brakes as I had plenty of tow vehicle. I towed into Washington a few times (brakes required) and didn't have an issue. I towed a JK so it was a bit lighter than a JKU so my set up was pretty inexpensive.
Not sure how serious of a "Jeeper" you are but no truck that can haul a FWC would make it 25 feet where I went with the Jeep.
I will look for the aftermarket lights but if you can remember the brand please let me know. Thanks!
