  • What Is The Bolt Hole Spacing Of Curt Bolt On Tow Hook C22411?
  • I went out to the warehouse and measured the holes of the Curt Tow Hook # C22411 you were looking at. It measures just under 1-1/2" (1.455" to be exact) which you can see in the diagram below. If you have bolt holes at a different spacing just let me know and I'll see what I can find.

  • Dimensions of the Draw-Tite Front Hitch 65048 for a Jeep CJ-5
  • I went out to our warehouse for you and measured the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65048. The actual cross tube is 28-1/4" long. The bolt holes are 31" apart on center and the outside to outside flange measurement is 33" long. I have attached a photo to assist. Unfortunately, I don't have any advice for using the above with a brush guard as we do not recommend doing so because as you mentioned, they mount in the same location. However, if you want to use longer bolts...

  • Flat-Towing 1979 Jeep Wrangler CJ-5
  • In order to be able to tow your 1979 Jeep CJ-5, you will need to install base plates which the tow bar will attach to. We do not carry any specific base plates for your Jeep but we may have an option. I recommend the Blue Ox Universal base plates, part # BX88230. These do not attach to the Jeep frame. They actually attach to the Jeep bumper. They are designed to be bolted to a flat surface on the bumper, so the bumper may need to be modified and reinforced to be able to handle towing....

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1983 Jeep CJ5 With Custom Bumper
  • Thanks for coming back to us here at etrailer. Flat towing your 1983 Jeep CJ5 that has a custom bumper will require D-rings or another method of attaching a tow bar. The maker of your custom bumper may offer a suitable kit but I urge you to check with them anyway to confirm that the bumper is rated for flat towing. This is not necessarily the case so you'll want to make certain before you proceed. We do have d-ring tow bar adapters such as # RM-035-1 from Roadmaster to allow hookup of...

  • Is The Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking System Compatible With A 1973 Jeep CJ5
  • The Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency # BLU37TR is pretty much universal with the only limitations really just coming down to there being enough space to fit and properly mount against the seat to push on the brake pedal. You may have to play around with the feet on the main unit and move the seat forward but you shouldn't have an issue using the Patriot as your supplemental braking system. This will require 12v power while the vehicle is off so I recommend installing a 12v outlet # RM-9332...

  • Replacement Soft Top Kit for a 1980 Jeep CJ-5
  • The correct replacement soft top kit for your 1980 Jeep CJ-5 is the Bestop Supertop Soft Top for Jeep part # B5159715 for black denim, part # B5159701 for black, or part # B5159704 for tan. This system features a 23 oz fabric compared to the 18 oz fabric included with the Rampage soft top kit and it includes the doors unlike the Rampage soft top kit. The Rampage Complete Soft Top Kit part # RA68035 will not work with your CJ-5 as it is designed for YJ models. I have attached a review video...

  • What Gauge Are The Wires Of The EZ Connector Magnetic 7-way Connector 319-S7-05?
  • The wires on the EZ Connector Magnetic 7-Way Trailer Connector with Watertight Seal - Hardwire - Vehicle End # 319-S7-05 you were looking at are a mix of 14 gauge, 12 gauge, and 10 gauge. The red, brown, green, and yellow wires are 14 gauge, the blue wire is 12 gauge, and the black and white wires are 10 gauge. This is pretty standard when it comes to 7-way connectors. I included a video of the # 319-S7-05 for you to take a look at.

  • How to Bleed the Brakes on a 1988 Correct Craft Trailer
  • Yes, if the bolt holes on your trailer measure 3" apart on center then the Titan Leverlock Brake Actuator part # T43397007K should work for you without having to drill any new holes. The bleeding process for the brakes is not hard but it will take a bit of time. The Powerbuilt Brake Bleeder part # ALL648591 is not required but will make life easier. I have attached the instructions for you below in addition to a video. Remove the master cylinder cap and fill the reservoir to three quarters...

  • Can Demco Classic Base Plates for 1980 Jeep CJ-5 be Used with Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar
  • I spoke with my contact at Demco regarding the Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518112 that you referenced and he said that unfortunately these will not attach to the Roadmaster Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar and there is not an adapter available that will allow you to do so. It looks like this particular base plate kit is the only one available that is confirmed to fit your 1980 Jeep CJ-5 (as long as you have the standard factory bumper), so in order to flat tow the vehicle you will need to upgrade...

  • Replacement Hub For A Trailer With A BT8 Spindle
  • For a replacement hub that uses # L44643 bearings with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern you'll want the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-258BTUC1. This will come as a quantity of one so you'd need two kits to do both sides of the axles. Each kit will come with the bearings, races, seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts included.

  • Can Doors on Bestop Jeep Top for the 1965 CJ-5, Part # B5159515, Be Split for Use with Bikini Top?
  • I spoke to my contact at Bestop concerning your question about being able to use just the bottom portions of the doors on Bestop Jeep Top for the 1965 CJ-5, part # B5159515, on your (awesome) 1965 CJ-5 when you are using your bikini top. Yes, you can do this. I have attached installation instructions for both products for your review in case you wish to familiarize yourself with the installation process ahead of time.

  • Parts Needed To Flat-Tow 1982 Jeep CJ-5 With Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
  • We do not have a custom base plate kit that is designed for your 1982 Jeep, but I do have a solution that will work for you. First you will need to install the Universal Blue Ox Bolt-On Base Plate Bracket Kit, part # BX88230. This attaches to the bumper on your Jeep. Since the brackets must be mounted to a flat metal surface you will most likely need to modify and or reinforce your bumper. You will then need the Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter, part # RM-031. You can...

  • Will The Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System Work On Vehicles Without Power Brakes?
  • While the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System # SM99251 does have the ability to work with vacuum boosted brakes it will still work on other vehicles as well. This is covered in the installation instructions as you will simply install the vacuum line with the check valve open to vent. It can also be used on vehicles with hydraulic or electric boosted brakes.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1979 Jeep CJ-5
  • I'm not quite sure by what you mean by what you need as far as the "transmission and powertrain", would you be able to get back to me as far as what parts you are specifically asking about? Also, for any information I would need to know what model of 1979 Jeep you have.
