After flat towing our Jeep for several years, I decided to trailer it to avoid the tire scrub on the larger tires, and to have a way to get it home in case of carnage (rather than paying shop labor rates to fix it.....Labor is free at home..
I picked up a used 16' steel bed car trailer that had just had both axles serviced with new bearings, brakes, wheels, and tires for a pretty good price. I added a tool box, and a spare, and loaded the Jeep....perfect, except for one thing; I didn't like the low dim rear lights on the rear dove tail. I figured that since the Jeep was already wired for 4 down towing, I would just add a trailer plug to the back of the the tool box and plug the Jeep in. Works like a charm. I do have plans for changing the existing trailer lights out for some led's and adding learance lights when we get home.
