    Metal valve stems on Jeep toad for TPMS

    TOAD Problem - 2001 Wrangler

    I set up my 2001 Wrangler TJ as a TOAD for our Sunseeker. I've tested it a few times a always run into the same problem. Occasionally when turning to the right, the steering wheel will turn to the max and the wheels no longer track behind our RV. It doesn't happen every time time, but even...

    RV Eng Brake and Toad Brake Sys

    I'm planning flat towing a SRX with a Blue Ox Ascent and a SMI DUO brake PKG in the toad. The DUO uses RV brake lt and it's own deceleration sensor for toad braking. What happens when you use eng brake and not the pedal? Does the RV still generate a brake light? I have a new 2018 FR Berkshire XL...

    First venture with a toad

    Today was my maiden voyage with a toad behind by Legacy 38C Diesel Pusher. Drove it on a mix of highways, interstates, and country roads. I was really impressed at how easy it was and how I didn’t even really notice it was there. The hardest part was taking the tow bar off the Buick Enclave...

    TOAD setup for 335DS and 2013 Buick Enclave

    OK, I have searched virtually all the posts in this and other forums regarding towing my 2013 Enclave. Lots of information, lots of misinformation, lots of conflicting information. So, I decided to post what I intend to do and why to see if anyone can comment on my plan. 2014/2015 Class A...

    Jeep toad: baseplate or after market bumper

    We're RV Newbies. Want to setup our Jeep Wrangler to tow 4 wheel down. Wondering if experienced folks prefer a baseplate set up or if it's preferred to tow using an after market bumper setup. Which is your preference and what model?

    Looking for opinions on toad braking system for our DX3

    We are towing a Jeep Wrangler (4door-unlimited) & currently use the Brake Buddy. It’s cumbersome to setup & use and we think the brake comes on more often than it should (even on the lowest setting) Looking for advice on the best braking system for towed vehicles. Thanks!

    Aftermarket Bumper on TOAD

    Just installed a Smittybilt XRC Gen2 front bumper on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and I plan to flat tow it behind the motorhome. Is anyone else flat towing with this bumper? If so, what type of tow bar are you using?

    Power to the toad from 364ts

    We are towing a Ford Explorer and have a break buddy in it. If we tow over 1 hour it drains the battery on the explorer. I was thinking about running a 12v line back to the explorer battery while towing. Anyone done this and have advice?

    A more forgiving tow bar for toad?

    Hello all, In today's post "Maneuvering with a Toad", Bob Byrne of FROG replied "With most tow bars (there are a few out now where it doesn't matter), unlocking the arms of the tow bar is extremely difficult if the car is turned, creating a bind on the arm locks. All of us who tow a toad knows...

    Maneuvering with a toad

    I am adding a toad to my rig. Originally we were figuring the 24' Class C would be OK for side trips but are finding that it would be convenient to have a car along for side trips and anything else unless we want to just hang out at the campground. I have read several posts from folks who...

    Wanted to share a quick note to say that indeed two folding bikes do fit in the jk 2door without rubbing anything. Just got two citizen "Milan" single speed bikes. The design allows the two bikes to sit side by side (tail next to nose) directly against each other seperated by rubber bumpers on...

    TOAD got a little hot....

    Currently ongoing on I10W in Baton Rouge. Looks like a Jeep towed behind a large Prevost-style rig burned to the ground. I'm amazed they were able to get it unhooked and save the coach. Probably saw it in the rearview camera.
