Can you leave it in while towing the Teyrx for a distance at highway speeds?

Yes just don't leave in vent position when trailering with it closed it's just fine

Yea I haul mine on an open trailer at 70-80 mph....only thing I don't like is the windshield doesn't sit exactly flush on the dash of the teryx

I have had no problem with speeds around 45 miles per hour. It is not recommended to leave it in at highway speeds.

I have towed up to 60 MPH installed with the teryx on the trailer facing backward and had no issues.

Yes, as long as it is in the closed position! I have towed mine many times and it does fine, no problems whatsoever, just be sure to close it so it has support!

Hi Connie, The short answer is yes, however I need to qualify the answer. I used it to haul a 1967 truck, but I had to drill holes to accomodate the hitch. You will probably have to do the same for the Jeep application. One other word is that the manufacturer's instructions tell you to re-torque the nuts, bolts cap screws after 500 miles. My suggestion is to check them prior to the 500 mile mark as mine needed to be retorqued at 200 miles. Hope that helps -- It is a nice tow mechanism.--Cole

I, wont take mine on the highway. Wont even plate it. I am not a qualified mechanic/trailer builder. I just use mine on the ranch, hauling tools and whatnot. Maybe if you are confident in your building skills it would be ok. To me it seems a bit small to pull down the road behind a pick up or car. Wheels are too small for me, also i dont think it has enough weight to keep it stable. For the road, and for safety, if it were me, i'd get something bigger. Just one mans opinion.

Although I have not trailered my teryx at highway speeds, I have towed at 60-65MPH with the windshield in place in the fully down position without any issues.

Not sure what you have in mind. You normally put accessory units above the receiver and it does not interefere with towing. Below the hitch would make it impossible to tow simultaneously. Hope this helps.

yes you can. that is how I'm using it in my work truck, I never have passengers so I figured I'll save the other set for a spare. works great really hot on high.

I carry mine in my vehicle and in my UTV and haven't had any trouble with it. Randy

No you shouldn't have to. It clamps to the lip of the side of the truck bed.

Unfortunately, it cannot be left up while driving. If you drive short distances around 20 mph or so you'd be fine, but driving any faster and you could damage the poles. You can collapse the top and drive around, but even then you wouldn't want to travel long distances as you are liable to damage something.

Yes you can. I leave mine hooked up to my bass boat - charging the trolling motor battery as well as the main battery. I leave it plugged in all year, and only unplug it when I get time 2-3 times a year to use my boat. I store the boat in a non-temperature controlled sea container - and I live near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Winter temps can drop down to -45 C (-49 F)

You can, but the battery would not last long. It is designed to be used while the vehicle is running. I am very pleased with mine, it works great!! A lot of power at a great price!!!

1. Yes you can. I did. 2. I made them take it out IMMEDIATELY. Almost hit something that looked like it was 15 away. Your mileage may vary.

It can be towed behind a sail boat. Use sturdy string at a higher rate of speed i do not know if it will process fast enough though. I use mine in a kayak and tow it but we arent moving that fast

I wouldn't, especially if there was any kind of wind. The only times I have moved my vehicle is when I needed to move it around in the site, and even that is rarely.

No you have to take it off and store it inside your vehicle. But it attaches to the car so quickly it does not matter.

There's nothing about the tow bar itself that is special for a Jeep. It could in theory be fastened to just about any vehicle. However, in most cases, that would be a bad idea. (1) Most cars don't have a steel bumper. If you fasten the tow bar to the typical fiberglass or plastic bumper, it'll just tear it apart when you try to tow. (2) Most cars don't have four-wheel-neutral. The Jeep Wrangler, like many vehicles with four-wheel drive (but NOT like many vehicles with "all-wheel-drive") has a "Neutral" for the *transfer case*, which is different than shifting the transmission into Neutral. When the transfer case is in neutral, that disconnects the transmission from the wheels. If you cannot disconnect the transmission from the wheels, then towing the vehicle on all of its wheels can damage or destroy the transmission. When towing a "normal" car, either you put it on a towing dolly which lifts the drive wheels (front if its front-wheel-drive, rear if it's rear-wheel-drive) so they don't spin, or you get underneath it and disconnect the drive shaft. My father's GMC pickup has an "N" setting on its 4WD controls. If we could find a way to connect the tow bar to the chassis so that we had a secure connection that could take the strain, this tow bar could be used to tow that pickup. Personally, I wouldn't try it. Chrysler offers a factory option for a front-bumper-mounted winch for Jeep Wranglers, so I know that they made sure the structure of the front bumper can handle the force necessary to pull the entire vehicle out of a mud pit. I have no way of knowing if the GMC pickup's bumper support could handle the same. Most bumpers are intended to protect against too much force being *pushed,* and don't have any reason for great strength when being *pulled.* So *could* you? Probably. *Should* you? Probably not.

I towed a Jeepster (equivalent in weight to a CJ-7) with it behind a BMW X-5 Diesel, and it was fine at 65 mph. I didn't experience much wind, but as long as the tow vehicle is not out of alignment, the tow bar should be fine. Note - take the time to stop and check all connections every hour or so. Better safe than sorry, as bolts can work loose under that kind of pressure.
