For those that have attached and towed a military M101 trailer to the back of their KJ.

1. Is the height of the KJ hitch height, too low, high, or just right?

2. What kind of commerical hitch connector did you buy to attach to the KJ's hitch to pull the trailer (when you went to to wit home from where you got it)?

3. How did you hook up the brake lights for the trailer (when you first got it to tow back to your place)?


I am putting in a bid for a nice looking one and want to know what I need to do to tow it home if I win.


Thanks.

You'll need a pintle hitch
the part that goes into the hitch most times are adjustable so you can get the trailer level
wiring, I picked up one for a buddy and we just used the magnetic lights fast and easy to get it home
Good luck on the bidding

I didn't win the bids for either of the M101 trailers. I tihnk it is a good thing though. I am refocusing my funds to save for something else.
