I spoke with my contact at Demco and the 6-Way connector bracket that is included with the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519339 referenced in your question isn't really designed to mount to the base plates themselves. The bracket is a universal piece that will simply get mounted to a flat surface in a convenient location on your Jeep. Because vehicles greatly differ depending on various packages and models, there aren't any specific instructions as to how and where the bracket should... view full answer...
Thanks for the purchase and that is a good question, but you must run the hot lead directly to the battery when installing a 4-way, which in your case is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56407.
The reason is this is the only way to ensure your car's wiring is not otherwise affected, and you can run the hot lead from your battery in any manner you see fit. To do this you may need Wire Loom, 10' Long # 7509-10 and Loom Clamp -1/4" # A0250.... view full answer...
The Hopkins trailer wiring harness part # 42615 that fits your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited installs by connecting on the passenger side of the vehicle. It installs inline with the taillight harness that's on the passenger side of the vehicle. view full answer...
You could use the trailer mounted battery to power the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001. However, it is possible that the unit will deplete the battery and you won't have any trailer brakes. The battery could receive a maintenance charge from the 12 volt circuit on a 7-Way trailer connector but if you do that you should instead just use that 12 volt circuit to power the Autowbrake. view full answer...
The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 will work perfectly on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited and the vehicle's LED tail lights won't affect the install or function of the kit in any way. You will just follow the attached install instructions like normal.
I have attached the mentioned installation video as well. view full answer...
Yes, the extension on theThule Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT-8591XT can be removed so that you can use the basket in its original length of 49 inches. With the extension added the basket measures 69 inches long. If you think you will use the extension piece at some point on the vehicle then this is definitely the way to go, since it gives you the option of going with either the longer or shorter cargo basket.
I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out. view full answer...
Your Jensen stereo part AWM970 that you have currently has a more traditional power wire setup where one wire carries 12 volts to power the stereo and the other carries a 12 volt signal wire that only is hot when the key of the vehicle is on to tell the stereo to power on.
The # JWM60A only has one power wire and that needs to be ran to the hot all the time power source since this is a motorhome application where you'll be using it without the vehicle on. You'll just have to power it off... view full answer...
With the Roadmaster InvisiBrake kit part # RM-8700 that you referenced the only thing else you need to install it in your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL is the stoplight switch part # RM-751000 and you'd be set.
I attached a link to a video that shows this kit installed on a 2018 JL just like yours for you to check out as well. view full answer...
For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara JL flat tow wiring, you will need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751490 which will communicate with your motorhome's brake monitoring system that your Jeep brakes are being applied. This is to help you know if a problem is occurring like your Jeep brakes constantly being applied so you can solve an issue before damage occurs. I reached out to my tech contact at Roadmaster and you will not need the relay # RM-88400 because the factory... view full answer...
Although it would be easier to install the diodes like part # RM-792 on the trailer connector, for the InvisiBrake # RM-8700 to work properly the diodes need to be installed at the rear of the bulbs.
The reason for this is that the 4-Way trailer connector recieves the signal "after" the lights so they wouldn't be effective. view full answer...
Since your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited doesn't have the factory tow package you will need to start off with 4-Way wiring like the recommended Tekonsha T-One # 118786. Once you have that installed there are a few options for you.
You can either install the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L which only adds 12V power to the 7-Way and allows you to use the Curt Echo # C51180 brake controller with an Apple or Android smart device, or you can install the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 for... view full answer...
In regards to the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 which is a fit for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited, you only need to splice the brown running light wire from the harness into one of the running light circuits on the vehicle. It does not matter if this is on the passenger side or driver side. There will then need to be a jumper wire run from the diode to the other side but an additional splice into the vehicle's running light circuit is not needed. view full answer...
Your existing SnowBear Personal Snowplow # SB324-081 is also confirmed to fit your new 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler and it will work great. The wiring to the vehicle battery will be the same as it was on your 2013 model Wrangler. I have attached the manufacturer's winch wiring diagram that you can also use for reference.
The Curt Front Mount Hitch # C31086 that you had installed on your 2013 Jeep Wrangler will also mount to your 2018 JL Wrangler. For a new set of hardware you can use the Replacement... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter part # TH9033 will work with the Thule Apex 4 Bike Rack part # TH9025XT. However, the issue you are going to run into when using the Bike Rack on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited is the rear spare tire.
In order to be sure the bike rack will clear the rear spare tire you will need to measure from the outside of the bumper beam to the outer edge of the spare tire on your Jeep (see photo). You will then need to subtract the length... view full answer...

The blue wire on the back of the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 will go directly to the 7-way trailer connector. This wire will need to be at least a 10 gauge like part # 10-1-1. However, there is also going to be wires needed for powering the brake controller and your 7-way so I highly recommend you use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 because it comes with everything you need. Therefore, you don't have to worry about running... view full answer...
Since you mentioned your dealer installed wiring on your 2018 Jeep JLU Wrangler, I assume that does mean you have both the 4-Way # 118786 and 7-Way # ETBC7 hooked up. If so, you are ready to go with just a few parts needed to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR.
You mentioned you did not have the plug, but it should be underneath the dash to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal as in the accompanying photo.... view full answer...
No, installation of trailer wiring harness # 118786 does not require splicing into the vehicle tail light wiring. It has connectors that plug in line with the tail light connectors on the 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL models. A connection to the battery is required and will be what powers the trailer lights as well as part of what helps protect the Jeep's electrical system. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" #36424 has been discontinued but was a fit for the standard bumper on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. It will not slip over the bracket you reference so it is not a fit for your specific vehicle due to that bracket. Instead I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13392 which doesn't have the weldnuts attached to the hitch. This will allow you to attach the hitch underneath the bracket... view full answer...
The wiring you need to add a brake controller and tow a trailer with electric brakes with your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited starts with a 4-way, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118786, and I've added a link to an install video of this harness on an '18 Wrangler for you.
You will then need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7, which will give you a 7-way connector, circuit breakers and the rest of the hardware needed to install a brake controller. I... view full answer...
