If I use it on My motorhome, is there a way to attach a hitch to the tube to tow my jeep on all 4 wheels.No weight from the jeep tow bar!

The problem is the turning circle that is then very large as the jeep will hit the motorcycle unless you have a really long extended tow bar behing the motorcycle that the Jeep is connected to

The end is plugged, it would take quite a bit of fabrication. This is a lower end hitch hauler and would not advise it. It is good for what it is.

I would recommend a stronger hitch trailer. Worked good for our 250 dirt bike but not for anything much heavier. And we only used ours for short distances. 15 miles or less

Good question! I doubt it. My bet it will drag. But u could get a hitch with a rise on it say 3 inches that may help though it could inter fear with spare tire at that point.

you need the front towing bar that mounts onto the car... I had one already installed from a previous owner... then I had the modify the mounts a bit... works great though, towed my jeep about 2000 miles with no problems, oh and I can disconnect my axles so the wheels don't turn the transmission.... I guess if you don't disconnect your drive shaft you'll blow up your trany... no oil flow... be carful with an old car like that, I'd get a full trailer if I were you... my cars not a classic... wouldn't want to hurt a beauty like a Stingray

It's not easy if you have a high vehicle. First, I use ratcheting straps, not those that came with the set. I suggest a ladder on a firm surface. I typically hook one end to the outside of the j-rack, toss it over the kayak, loop under the crossbar, back over the kayak and hook again to the front of the j-rack. Then I tighten with the ratchet. It's pretty secure.

Depends on height of jeep, I have no lift with 31.5 tires and I don't have to reach. I'm 6'2". Honestly lifting it up and over the rear roll bars is tough on me. I'm a big guy. Honestly the diversitility of the soft top is over all better than being bel to lift it. The pain will be well rewarded

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.

Hi Dirk, Not quite sure about the question you are asking. If you want to install it on a Chrysler 300 car, I doubt this would be what you are looking for as This is more of a pickup truck hitch. Car hitches are usually quite a bit less towing capacity than a truck hitch would be and more specifically designed for each car due to the different frame configurations (uni-body) of most cars. This is a class III to IV hitch designed to tow upwards of 5,000 lbs and tongue weight of around 500 lbs. Most cars will not be capable of towing this much weight because of the frame design. If you are asking if this will attach to a "base plate" to tow the car behind a truck? The answer would be yes, but still dependant on the tow bar you would be using. Hope this helps answer your question...

Does it have a the "regular size" trailer hitch, if so it will fit? I am not sure if it will clear the spare tire though. Hopefully someone with a jeep can help with that.

Yes you need a spare tire mount, the bracket mounts to the existing studs on the tire carier. If you don't have one ask around on the jeep forums and someone may give you one for just shipping, lots of people have them laying in their garage.

Are you asking about how much weight can be hung on the end of the hatch while fully opened? Not much. It easily holds the very heavy hatch up, but it doesn't require much of a tug to pull it down. On my jeep, it works perfectly. Just a little tug will bring it down. HOWEVER, the shocks themselves can hold some serious weight! I tried everything I could (pushing it against a wall, kneeling on it, trying to step on it) and I could NOT get the shock to go down.

Not with the tubing that comes stock on this carrier. Not near strong enough. A good welding shop should be able to make the needed modifications to allow you to add a trailer hitch. This carrier is good and I have really enjoyed using it.

it's about as heavy as any other four wheel ride on atv that you can see at a retail store. lifting it single handedly may not be a good idea due to it's size. But this is a great ride on and my son loves it and i also have another 4 wheeler jeep, but my son prefers the power wheels since it's comfortable and easy to ride. Maybe you can use a basic dolly to lift this up and down the stairs, should be pretty easy.....good luck

Probably pushing the limit. This is the most sturdy rack I've seen for the 4 dr. jeeps but I'd contact the company just to make sure. Maybe 300 lb. limit Charlie W.

Hmmm, although I have not tried it . Mine came with a steel bar to attach so a trailer could be pulled and having hefted it I know it would work for a tow hitch . But, personally I want my trailer hooked directly to my tow bar .

I don't really think what you are towing makes any difference. This device does nothing except to take the wobble and play out of the hitch /receiver. I do a lot of towing...cargo trailers, campers, etc, and I wouldn't see any need to use such a device when towing. For the bike rack, you want a solid connection so the bikes don't sway. In my mind this wouldn't be necessary when towing. Whether it works or not is really more dependent upon the combination of your hitch and receiver setup.
