Expert Answers about Jeep JL Wrangler


  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  • I do have options for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13432 is not a confirmed fit for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler. Instead, you will want to take a look at either the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13392 or the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT78MR. The above two options are both direct bolt-on fits that have a Class III rating with a 2" receiver tube opening. I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame as it is currently the more cost-effective option....

  • How Can I Attach my Tow Bar to my Off Road Bumper on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
  • We have a good solution for you. While the one you have looked t isn't going to work out you can use the Roadmaster Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 3/4" Thick part # RM-035 to get the job done. Your D rings aren't exactly standard sizing but if you'll use these with the included circle spacers (in pic) it will be a nice and secure attachment and you won't have to worry about the looseness that typically causes issues in this type of setup....

  • Can I Use the Exposed Racks ER74FR If I Have a Hard Top
  • Yes. You could use the Roof Rack for Jeep JL Soft Top - Square Bars - Steel - Black # ER74FR with the hardtop off; it's actually designed to be used with the top off so it sounds like it's the perfect solution for your 2018 Wrangler JL. You will need to remove the bars to put the hardtop back on, but if you ever decide to get a soft top then you can put it on over these bars. It's really a pretty cool solution! This rack will connect to the windshield housing and the speaker roll bar area.

  • Is Crossbar Required to Use Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar w/Roadmaster Base Plates on 2018 Wrangler
  • The crossbar, # 910021-00, is not required when using the Nighthawk tow bar, # RM-676, with MX, MS, or EZ5 model base plates. So if your 2018 Jeep Wrangler is the new JL model and you are using base plates EZ5 OR if it is a JK model and you are using # RM-521448-5 or # 1444-3 then you will be good to go without the crossbar. Any other model, EZ, EZ2, EZ4 or XL, and the crossbar is required. The EZ5 for the 2018 JL is # RM-521453-5, or you will need to use the crossbar and baseplates #...

  • Which Curt T-Connector Fits a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  • We do have a Curt T-Connector that fits a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL but the part # C55124 that you referenced does not fit. Instead you need part # C56407 which tees in behind your tail lights and then draws power directly from your battery via the included black wire. The great thing about drawing power directly from your battery is that your vehicle wiring is completely protected in the event that something goes wrong with your trailer wiring. Attached is an installation video of this wiring...

  • Is There A Spare Tire Carrier For A 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler That Accepts A Ski Rack
  • The only spare tire bike rack we offer for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL is the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount Item # HRSR1 and there is no ski rack that is compatible. If you are willing to go the hitch mounted direction, I recommend the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Swinging Item # Y02465 with the Yakima HitchSki Snowboard and Ski Carrier for Hitch Mounted Bike Racks Item # Y02418. The ski rack requires at least a 4 bike carrier. The rack holds 6 pairs...

  • Can The Roadmaster Invisibrake Be Installed In The Rear Compartment Of A 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  • I spoke with Brad, one of our installers here that's done quite a few Invisbrake installs, and he stated that box under the front driver seat is tucked in further than you'd think so you'd have to purposefully kick it and it wouldn't be an accident. That being said, it is possible to mount the compressor box in the back of your Wrangler but you'll most likely need to get some additional 1/4" nylon vacuum line to go from the box to the brake booster in the engine compartment and also some...

  • 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Base Plate Options With Aftermarket Bumper and Winch
  • The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521424-4 is not confirmed to fit your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler, it is for a different generation of Wranglers with the factory bumper in place. Most aftermarket bumpers have D-ring bumper mounts, and there are adapters to hook the tow bar directly to the bumper. However you will need to check with the manufacturer of the bumper to see if it is rated to tow with. If the Bumper you have is rated to tow and you have 3/4" d-ring mounts you can...

  • Will the Curt Premium 4 Bike Rack Clear the Spare Tire on a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  • The compatibility of the Curt Premium 4 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches part # C18064 with your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler will largely be dependent on two factors, what trailer hitch you have and what size spare tire you have. The Curt Premium 4 Bike Rack part # C18064 measures 10" from the center of hitch pin hole to closest edge of carrier. If you were to use the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT78MR with a factory spare tire then the Curt Premium 4 Bike Rack would clear by bout...

  • Are Spare Tire Bike Racks for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Made That Allow Back-Up Camera to Work
  • While you can certainly carry bikes with your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler, there are no spare tire bike racks that will work with a back-up camera, so the best thing to do is use Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # DT78MR and a hitch-mounted bike rack. When bikes are loaded they will block the view of the rear-view camera, of course, but you can remove the bike rack or there are racks available you can leave on and simply fold the upright mast down. For that I strongly recommend the Saris Freedom...

  • Fit of Swagman S64650 XC Bike Rack on 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
  • In order to determine if the Swagman # S64650 XC bike rack will work on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler, you'll need to measure the horizontal distance rearward from the hitch pin hole to the furthest rearward point of the rear mounted spare tire. If this distance is less than 10 inches, the rack will work well for you. I'll link you to a help article that describes exactly how to take this measurement. An optional locking hitch pin/cable lock is available as part # S64031. I've linked to demonstration...
