Very good, and I'm sure it'll be lots of fun! But a word of caution ... you can spend almost as much on accessories and improvements for a 4WD as you can on an RV. After all, there's only a shift key's difference between 4x4 and $X$....

Congratulations, and enjoy!

Would you believe I have been looking at a BRW (Bright Red Wrangler) to pull behind our 210P?!! Looks like you beat me to it.

I have never towed anything in my life except a little utility trailer, so I am approaching it with trepidation. I don't know come here from sic 'em, but I guess you just keep headin' forward.

Don't have it set up for towing yet, need to replenish the bank account. I figure about $2,500 to set it up the way I want to. Tow bar, base plates, and a braking system.

Jim, we have purchased a bug/rock deflector, dash cover (Tucson gets hot)and a set of side steps. I should get around to putting those on next week. We got the "Sports" package, comes with 17" rims, limited slip rear differential. For the type of off roading we are going to do, I don't think we will adding much more to it. We went with the 3 piece hardtop, because everyone I talked to complained about how hard the soft top was to take off, and put on. The two front panels, on the hard top, can be removed and stored in the Jeep, leaving the back piece on, or stored in the garage. The front doors also come off, and the front wind shield folds down, but I doubt we will ever do that.

If you do a search I don't remember the companies name but they make a drop in wiring harness for those that makes toad wiring easy- message me if you want me to look for it.

Oh Yeah look on ebay you can get some pretty good towbar/bracket packages-

Now that's a pretty combo! Looks like you'll have lots of fun. You'll definitely be turning heads going down the road.

I think I'm going to go with the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain tow bar, it comes with wiring, and safety cables that route through built-in channel guides. For base plates the MX Series 'Hidden' Brackets I haven't decided on the braking system yet.
