Most Popular Tow Bar Braking Systems for 2002 Jeep TJ

The convenience of having 2 vehicles set up to tow is really handy and this kit does the trick.

Hooked up pretty easy. I have a 17 F150 and i already had a Hopkins brake light relay installed so didn't need to splice into the wiring like the directions had on here. Little confusing on the brake pedal wiring needing to hook into the ICX transmitter. I did it but I don't think it did anything in my install. I also ran a power wire all the way to the battery rather than fiddling with the fuse tap.

We didn't need all the parts but the pieces we did need were critical. The rig is a Jeep JK 2-door with a custom bumper, front frame chop and higher clearance towbar points and we needed to have flexibility to mount the air brake lines. We were also on a short deadline to make the annual trek to Easter Jeep Safari and flat towing behind the coach would increase fuel economy 33% over towing on a trailer. The pieces were all familiar to me as we have this same setup in another rig and I knew they could be relied on to work with our RoadMaster braking system. etrailer got them to us quickly and we fabbed up the needed system in time to get out of town. A year later and it still works well. My only suggestion is a longer lasting rubber cover and possibly one for the interior fitting for use in a dirty/dusty environment. A very minor wish, the system is well thought out otherwise and does the job.

I have install this kit on about 5 other vehicle and it is pretty simple to do.

This is the third time I’ve ordered from etrailer.com and as with the previous orders they kept me informed of my orders location during shipment. They make it easy to purchase needed trailer parts and accessories.

Great price & was exactly what we needed. We have purchased several items from etrailer and learn a lot from their demos & installation videos. Keep up the great work!

Only 4 of 5 starts because the pre-drilled holes for the brake attachment don't completely line up with brake pedal. Close, but for this price, you would have thought it to be exact. Still works fine though.

The installation needed some washers to protect the seat mounting channels, but the installation was easy and went well.
