Those are awesome plans! Thanks for the update. I look forward to seeing your next update. 👍🏻

Did you regear by chance?

I too have a 2 door Sport S.

Your post above is now 6 months old.

1: How does the van tow?
2: What about braking?
3: Any trailer sway?
The Jeep tows very well. I had no problems braking with or without the brake controller. No issues with Sway.

Attached picture shows dual fiberglass propane tanks w/cover, battery box behind and trailer breakaway switch mounted to frame. I have an Autowbreak break controller mounted inside in a cabinet.

Anyone have this setup?
JLU Sahara, 3:45 stock gears, 2.0 with 2” lift & 35” tires and towing 3,500lbs? Any problems or issues at highway speeds?

Picked up the T@b today, 1 owner 2020, also used the CURT Echo Bluetooth brake controller, worked perfectly, will never hardwire another brake controller. They sell a remote button (1”x1”) now so you don’t need the phone. Regardless, the controller still works if it does disconnect from the phone for any reason.

Trailer is quite a bit under the tow rating, no equalizer or sway control needed. I was pleased with the lack of trailer reaction when passing any big trucks.

I like the idea of trailer brakes controlled with a blue tooth controller.

Nice set up.
Love the Curt Echo, but had no idea they had a button. Just ordered. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks, Our girls are grown up but a ton of great memories camping with them. Great picture😊

Need to look into some beefier tires and supposedly the torsion axles can be clocked for more height.

I’m going to go with no!

It’s the most frustrating part of pulling my camper. I’m forever forgetting something in the back of the Jeep and climbing over the seat to get it! 🤦‍♂️

I moved my Jack to the side and put one that flips up. I also got rid of the big propane tank as I did not need six months worth of propane on the tongue of the camper just so I could open the tailgate and access the back of my Jeep.

For the new camper I went with an ultimate trailer jack as a side mount interfered with the propane tanks.
