Hitch?
Bob 3 May 2005 15:59:05
	I'm thinking of adding a hitch to my 2001 Wrangler for occasional light home project and recreational use. What do I need to know before choosing and what brands are recommended? Thanx, Bob

	Get a 2" receiver hitch. Your TJ doesn't need the load capacity usually found in that size hitch but there are all sorts of nice acessories that plug right in: bike rack, tow hook, platform rack, etc. The aftermarket bumpers often have the 2" reciever integrated in for not much more than the price of a decent hitch.

If you try to tow something too heavy you may wind up having the "tail wag the dog" as it were (that which you are towing may start shoving your jeep around... really bad/possibly fatal on downhill curves). If you are going to stay within the capabilities of a Wrangler you won't need more than a class II hitch. Your local U-Haul sells hitches (and most will also install), also places like this http://tinyurl.com/exqrd Drifter "I've been here, I've been there..."

Suggest checking on what all you might want to use it for first. However, the point on towing limits is very important. Never go outside the max printed on the vehicle tag. It's not just dangerous it's deadly dangerous. -- DougW

It's not just dangerous it's deadly dangerous. Reinforcing the point: Go with a 2" for usability, but stay within Jeep's weight and size limits for trailers. Items like 4 bike racks, rear platforms, winches, tire carriers, etc... are often only available with 2" tubes. Smaller bike racks are available in 1 1/4". Don't ask me how I know how scary stopping a 1500 lb trailer on a wet surface when your TJ has leaky rear drum cylinders (a.k.a. no back brakes) is... The trailer was within the ratings, but the rear brake problem was an unknown. The only downside of a 2" is many shops won't install it, as their lawyers won't let them. It will have to be installed at home, but it's easy to do. My last three Wranglers have suffered the rear brake slave cylinder failure at least once. Barry

	I suggest looking at an integrated bumper with a 2" receiver built in for mounting accessories. It keeps your clearance and gives you a real bumper.
