This versatile all-terrain radial delivers rugged good looks without compromising handling, ride comfort or on- and off-road stability.

Our customer likes to travel around the country in their motor home, towing their Jeep JK. One of the easiest ways to tow your JK behind your motor home is by using Roadmaster Products. They have tow bars, adapter brackets (so you can use your tow bar on different vehicles) kits for all of the electrical connections, and supplemental breaking systems (to meet all of the motor vehicle regulations).

These are the Roadmaster Products that our customer made to tow his Jeep JK behind his motor home, since they provide the ease of attachment when towing, simplicity of disconnection when parking your motor home at your destination, and the safety that Roadmaster Products are known for.

Falcon 2 Tow Bar

The Towbar stows on the rear of your motor home when not connected to your towed vehicle.The use of stainless steel in virtually every moving component allows for smooth, trouble-free operation, and prevents corrosion that binds. “Autowlok” towing mechanism allows both tow bar arms to extend or retract for a quick connection. Then, as you drive away, the arms self-center and automatically lock. A patented latching mechanism ensures secure, easy storage on the back of your motor home. One-person quick-connect and disconnect thanks to ROADMASTER's self-supporting quick-disconnects, one person can easily connect or disconnect the Falcon 2 in seconds. Full-length steel crossbar reinforced for maximum support and safety. A lustrous, high-tech powder coat finish for maximum durability.

BrakeMaster with Break Away System

BrakeMaster is the best supplemental braking system available, and the easiest to use. Connects directly to the motorhome's air or hydraulic brake system for rock-solid, reliable braking brake line pressure in the motor home controls the brakes in the towed vehicle. It connects directly to what powers your motorhome's brakes, BrakeMaster is truly a proportional, synchronized braking system however you brake the motor home, BrakeMaster automatically applies the same pressure. Every time. The BrakeMaster Braking System connects and disconnects from the towed vehicle in under a minute, without any tools, adjustments or settings attach the brake pedal clamp, secure to the floor or the seat adapter, quick-connect the air hose, and you're ready to tow.
Weighing just 5.65 pounds and measures fewer than two feet in length stores almost anywhere. When BrakeMaster is removed, there are no obstructions to interfere with your driving, as all brackets are out of sight. A monitor light in the motor home dash illuminates when the towed vehicle's brakes are applied.
With so many motor home that flat tow their Jeep JK's, simple and safe equipment is needed when traveling on vacations or your favorite four wheeling location.

The basic system includes a heavy duty rear bumper and tire carrier made from 2" x 5" tubular steel and is 3/16" thick. The End Caps are constructed with 1/4" thick aluminum to ad a super stylish look and also to keep the weight of the bumper to a minimum. The swing-away will accept up to a 37" dia. tire with all the accessories installed. The bumpers include an 1 1/2"dia pivot assembly that includes two grease points to allow for a smooth operation. The system includes a quick clamp assembly that incorporates a safety lock within the clamp. The clamps are manufactured exclusively for Garvin Industries, and they are top notch in the industry.


In the engine compartment, you will find K&N 63-1553 Performance Intake Kit. Designed to provide increased horsepower, the K&N 63-1553 AirCharger High-Flow Intake Kit is a quick solution for vehicle owners who are looking for an increase in reliable power.

And finally on the inside of the JK, external communication is provided by a Cobra 75WXST 40-Channel CB Radio.
This sleek, compact mobile CB radio can quickly and accurately scan through all 40 CR channels. The easy-to-read LCD display shows the channel number, incoming signal strength, and RE power output in digital or normal CB channel readout. The radio can pick up 10 NOAA Weather Radio channels so you always have up-to-the-minute weather news. Its Dual Watch function allows simultaneous monitoring of 2 channels. The unique design unifies microphone and radio into one piece, so the entire CB radio can fit easily into your hand or can be nicely tucked away under a dashboard. The Cobra 25 WX ST also provides instant access to emergency channel 9 for emergency announcements. Along with the CB Radio we installed a Firestick 4' Antenna, and a Teraflex CB Antenna Mount. This easily mounts a CB antenna to your JK Wrangler. This simple bracket mounts to the JK tailgate, utilizing the factory mounting locations for the spare tire mount and can.


Wow that is more parts than Santa can carry on his sled in three loads.
