  • Does 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hopkins Brake Controller Installation Require Separate Switch
  • If your 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a factory installed 7-way trailer socket at the back bumper then you will want to order the Hopkins Agility Trailer Brake Controller along with its matching quick-connect adapter. The part number for the controller itself is # HM47294; the adapter is # HM53035. If your Grand Cherokee does NOT have a factory 7-way then instead of the adapter you'll need to order the controller unit # HM47297 and a brake controller install kit, part # ETBC7, which inckudes...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
  • The trailer brake controller I recommend for you is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3, part # 90195, that you referenced. This unit is easy to set up and operate, is highly rated by our customers who use it, and offers a mix of great features, such as compatibility with both electric and electric-over-hydraulic brakes and included diagnostics.

  • Recommended Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Behind an RV
  • According to my research, the 4WD version of your vehicle is capable of being flat towed, if the guidelines outlined in the owner's manual are followed exactly. I've tried unsuccessfully to download a copy of the owner's manual, so unfortunately I cannot provide any further explanation than that. The Rear Wheel Drive version CANNOT be flat towed unless a transmission lube pump is installed. We don't offer the lube pump kit, but you can find them easily enough online. To flat tow your vehicle,...

  • Thule WingBar Roof Rack for a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
  • The recommended WingBar crossbars for your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee are the 53 inch bars, part # TH711420 in black or # TH711400 in silver. If the bars you have are a different length let me know because they still may work for you. Since you have the flush rails that are black with chrome and have tracks running inside them it means your Jeep has the E-Group package. To mount the AeroBlades onto your rails use the Rapid Podium foot pack, part # TH460R, along with the fit kit # THKIT3142....

  • Tail Light and License Plate Solution for Transporting Covered Bikes
  • The best solution we have is to use the Thule License Plate Holder # TH35JV for the license plate part of your problem and then adding magnetic towing lights like the Wireless Hopkins # C6304 (you need 8 AA batteries # DU58QR) or Optronics # TL21RK so your tail lights are still visible. Since your Swagman XC2 Bike Rack # S64650 will be covered with the bag you'll need to get creative with the mounting straps for the Thule License Plate Holder but it's the best option for your application.

  • Correct Replacement Mounting Kit for Westin 4" Oval Nerf Bars On a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • It doesn't look like the picture came though, however they do not make the PRO TRAXX 5" nerf bars for your 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The closest I was able to match style wise is the Westin Oval Tube Steps w/ Custom Installation Kit # 22-5055-1985 which would use the Custom Installation Kit for Westin Oval and Premier Oval Tube Steps # 22-1985. If you can get some more info on your steps, I'd be happy to find a proper set of mounting hardware.

  • How Do I Find the Correct Wheel and Tire For my 1968 Franklin Camper
  • Good news- there is only one wheel bolt pattern with 6 bolts and that is 6 on 5-1/2. The Dexstar # AM20395 are not a good solution for you but I've linked our entire selection of 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern wheels and tire/wheel combos for you to have a look at. You may want to start with something like the # AM20514 which is a 15" wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and is powder coated to protect from corrosion. On the left hand side of the page you'll be able to find the size of wheel...

  • Parts Needed to Add Brakes to a Tandem 3,500 lb Axle Trailer to Tow with a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • It sounds like you currently have a wheel hub that has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern (taken from the far end of one bolt to the center of one directly across from it) and that you already have a brake mounting flange on two 3,500 lb axles. If this is the case then I recommend using the electric brake kit # AKEBRK-35-SA along with the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-K. Electric brakes are the easiest to install and maintain so these will work out great for you. Just make sure that...
