Let's see pictures of your 4x4!

Steve, Roadmaster now has 2 styles of baseplates, one has the the cross support built in. That style does not require a cross bar and uses "hooks" that are ready to accept your Falcon's arms. Check with Roadmaster because it looks to me like your baseplate might not need a cross bar.


On my new Cherokee Trailhawk I opted for the version with a cross bar only because I wanted to use the Roadmaster Defender and it requires the cross bar. 


Not having the cross bar makes removal that much easier.


BTW, Nice looking Jeep!


Ken

Ken, with a little ingenuity you can run the Tow Defender without a crossbar.  I too am running the Roadmaster Tow Defender but to not use a crossbar.  I machined a couple of tabs and connect mine directly to the arm at the connection at the Jeep.  It's been working very well for the past several years now and it very easy/quick to connect/disconnect.

Mike & Ken,
  I do have a tow defender.  I was able to get it all connected.  I swapped the two receiver inserts from my crossbar with ones he had and it all lined up and I'm good to go.  As for your comments mike regarding the nighthawk towbar without the crossbar, by friend who is just getting into RV's and Jeeps, set his up that way.  It is really sweet because the connect and disconnect in super easy.  My falcon has a limited life left as it's getting old.  When I replace it, I may swap out the baseplate to go with a set up like yours Mike.  I will contact you regarding the defender set up at that time. Of course, I have a million Jeep questions for you Mike, but I don't want to be a nuisance. I will try to keep them to a minimum especially until after that important June event      Ken, I'm going to PM you about a campground recommendation. Thanks as usual to my forum friends.  Your advice is spot on!

Steve

I'm sorry you broke your front axle...

Nice lookin' rig.

Just realized I never posted a picture of the TJ I bought after I got rid of the YJ. '03 Sahara, stock height, on 31's.

 

[RNS]

I don't have a fancy one, just a UTV and a lovely wife in it.

Nice RNS! You have convinced me to post a picture of our latest acquisition, a new to us 2020 Polaris RZR Trail 570. We take it out on its first real run tomorrow in northeastern Iowa. It will spend more time well west of Iowa though. Kevin is happily in the process of adding a windshield, back window, mirrors, and turn signals to allow it some street use in those states that is allowed.

ETA, and doors are on order too!

We've got two: a 2020 Jeep Gladiator, and a 2022 Jeep Wrangler...

Started with a ‘96 GEO Tracker, then an ‘02 TJ, now a ‘20 F-150. Truthfully I’d still be happy with the Tracker. That thing went places a Jeep couldn't!

TJ and F250

I had the Suzuki Sidekick version of the tracker when we live in Hawaii. A day circling Oahu stopping to surf everywhere ended with pulling the rubber mats and hosing out the sand. I loved that little vehicle.

Here's one of them, a '97 TJ lifted & locked on 33's, The others are a '15 Trailhawk, also lifted on 33's and an '18 JK 2dr Rubicon lifted on 35's

Very cool. I always liked ‘different’ vehicles like the Tracker, had a ‘84 Fiero, and my first dog-park-car (don’t let the pups in my truck) was a Pontiac Aztec.

It's a great TOAD, because it's so small and light... 11' long, 5' wide, 5-51/2' tall and 2100#s.... 1/2 the weight of some of the Jeeps... True 4 wheel drive, transfercase, and good ground clearance for off-roading... It does have limited power, no room, and rides like a buckboard wagon, but works great for my wife and I... And the resale value is going UP.....

My truck is 4x4 but my secondary ride is far more maneuverable for off roading.

Yep and it hauls the ATV well & does great pulling the 5W.
