Thanks guys for the input as always!

Yep, Prodigy... I talked to Mario from AT, he said get the Prodigy, he was right (usually is :) )

I really like the manual brake slider that is easy to modulate. It allowed me to do trailer drifts on the frozen river. :shakin:

The guys at the hitch shop (fellow offroaders) put the Draw Tite Activator III on our rig today. They insisted that the prodigy unit was more than we ever needed and was too complex for offroad use. Who knows. I told them to put in whatever they feel best.

So far it works great and has the manual slide brake like Scott's talking about. Im happy with it. Simple and to the point. I have pretty much figured out how to use it just on the way home tonight.

The nice thing about the Prodigy is you can mount it at almost any angle. Some of the brand have a maximum mounting angle, some of them have to be mounted as close to level as possible. I know it's never easy to find the ideal spot for mounting and having that flexibility makes it easier.

I thought I'd found the best spot for mine and later found out I banged knee against it all the time.

Has anybody found a ideal spot to mount these pigs????.....under the seat.....behind the dash.....and etc.....

Being the big guy that i am:shakin: .........It would be nice to get it out of the way!...It doesn't seem that you would always be messing around with it like vs. ham radio?????.....

Any thoughts?

You have to be able to reach them with your hand to manually activate them if required, and it's also helps to be able to see them so you can read the digital read out. Apart from that you can super glue them to the roof :)

Here's where I mounted mine. I never bump into it and can easily see and manualy control it when needed.

Mine is in about the same spot as Brad's. On the opposite side of the wheel I hit it with my knee getting it.

Yep, the Draw Tite can be mounted in any position also.

I told them i didn't want it anywhere near my knee.. so they stuck it over the center console.
