Good job-now enjoy it. These things pull like a dream. Without a rear view camera you wouldn't know they were. Check, double check & have someone else check your set up. I told my buddy with a TJ that and he didn't-new engine, clutch, driveline, rear diff and control arms. Now he does it religiously.

Made it to VA. RV towed the Jeep like it wasn't even there. Funny, when I got my Jeep unattached, it said it had 114 miles per gallon. I guess the miles stick click away while towing. I did have the key on because the manual said to and I have not yet confirmed if the steering locks or not. I know others have said it doesn't lock, but I want to see for myself.

If it's tracking mileage it's using battery power too. If you lock the ignition and crank the steering wheel you'll know ASAP if it's got a lock or not. I know my buddies TJ does and our 14 Jk does not. Glad you had a good trip.
