Expert Answers about Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited
- Which Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Fits 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Recon
- The correct Blue Ox base plate kit for a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Rubicon Recon edition is the part # BX1134.

- Bulldog Winch Front Bumper # BDW21022 mounts in place of the stock bumper on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler and it doesn't hang down any further to interfere with the base plates on the vehicle so it will work with the Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM-521448-4 that you mentioned. Since this base plate uses a crossbar you will be able to still use your Roadmaster Guardian # RM-4000.

- For daily, consistent towing, the best option for a brake controller for your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited is from a brand you had mentioned previously, Tekonsha, and specifically the P2, which is the following part number:
- Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885
I really like the P2 # 90885 because it will give your trailer the most consistently smooth braking, has an easy to read screen, and continual diagnostic checks with safeguards to prevent battery drain or shorts....

- You can tell just by looking if you have a JK or JL. The JL has bigger fender flares and the front blinkers have been moved from the grill to the flares. The JL tail lights look like they have a squeezed belt line in the middle of them rather than just square. I suppose you could also contact your dealer with your VIN number to have them advise that way.
Having the Falcon tow bar and Brake Buddy is a good start! Now you just need the Roadmaster # RM-9243-1 Towing Kit that includes safety...

view full answer... - Trailer Wiring for 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
- Since you have the factory tow package on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector # HM42190 will be an easy installation. The plug will be just behind the bumper and I've attached photos to assist with the vehicle side plug you will look for that will be on the driver's side.
If you have a 4-way trailer connector, it may have been installed by the dealer and will connect behind the tail light on the driver's side. If this is the...

- We have a roof rack that will fit your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited so that you could carry a kayak carrier like the part # Y04073 which for that you'd want the Thule Roof Rack Components # TH711520 and # TH65BJ but you really have to check with Jeep to determine what the capacity is for the hardtop of your Wrangler. I've heard it barely has any capacity at all but was not able to get an exact figure.

- Since the 2018 Jeep Wrangler does not come with factory brake controller wiring you'll have to hardwire in your P3 part # 90195.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C55124.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Base Plates And Everything Needed To Flat Tow 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited
- The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, Item # RM-520, can be used with or without the crossbar depending on your base plates. If you use something like the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit, Item # RM-521448-4, you will need the crossbar. If you use something like the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit, Item # RM-521448-5, then the crossbar is not required. I recommend going with the Roadmaster EZ5 so that you have one less thing to worry about.
In addition to base plates and the Roadmaster Falcon...

This would be your best option and would not require you to pull fuses for the brake lights which would only take out the third brake light anyway.

view full answer... - Recommended Brake Controller and Wiring for 2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ
- For your 2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ, I recommend you use the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 for your trailer brake controller. This is a proportional controller that is easy to use and comes with the LCD screen requiring no code deciphering as well as preset boost options to make it easy to set for your trailer.
For your wiring, you will need to first have a 4-way harness if you don't already have one. For this I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector #...

- I have an easy to install brake controller solution that would work well in your 2018 Jeep Wranler Unlimited that has a factory 7-way but your vehicle is not equipped with a plug and play install port under the dash like some vehicles are.
So the easiest to install brake controller that also works really well is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180. Basically this just plugs into an active 7-way and once you sync it to your phone it's ready to go. This brake controller is proportional which...
