Jag trailer hitch

[stretch]

Got a good pic of my home made hitch tonight while I was tearing the T apart. Might be of some use to you dudes & dudettes running jags. This is not an original idea, it was suggested to me by a good buckethead buddy 10 or 12 years ago. This hitch has towed a number of trailers sometimes for long distances...

Here's the one my buddy made...

How did your friend get the brake calipers on the back side like that?

I think they're aftermarket, like Wilwood or something, but having said that, I really am not sure. Used to be you could get a lot of cool stuff for these old jag rears, but since CWI went out of business, not so much. Plus as every year goes by, these rears get older and less attractive to marketers I think.

ya I'm noticing that. I need to order extra parts and get a 2nd rear end to have on hand just in case.

Did some research. If your interested. Snow White, Ltd in Fresno, CA still makes the brackets. $175/pr
But unless you have an old xke rear. There are part that have to be machined to get them to fit right. They do that for $300.

I think I found my next winter project.

Apparently CWI used to make kits...

Chris, I emailed my buddy to ask about this stuff. He got all his stuff from CWI many years ago. He didn't know CWI closed last year.

No I didn't Chris. Did you post it somewhere here? If you did, I missed it, so would appreciate being pointed in the right direction! Thanks!
