  • Wiring Harness and Light Kit for 2006 Jeep Liberty
  • The Curt T-Connector # C55382 you referenced would be the correct harness for your 2006 Jeep Liberty so long as it did not come with a factory 7-way. I have included a link to an install of this harness on an '06 Liberty for you to take a look at. If your Jeep does have the factory 7-way you would need T-One Harness # 118381.

  • 2012 Jeep Liberty Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations
  • I really like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e85AR for your 2012 Jeep Liberty because of the matte black finish. I've used a few of these on my vehicles and I like how well they blend in with the vehicle trim and hide scratches from road debris. If you're in the market for a bike rack I recommend checking out the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR which is just a great, all-around bike rack that's compatible with pretty much everything on the market plus it comes with industry...

  • Weight distribution System Recommendation for a 2004 Jeep Liberty towing a 17 Foot Casita Trailer
  • If the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the camper PLUS the weight of anything stowed in the cargo area of your Liberty behind the rear axle weighs less than its 400 lb maximum capacity, the Reese Steadi-Flex # 66557 you referred to would work very well. If you find that the weight of the gear in the Liberty puts the tongue weight close to or above 400 lbs, I'd recommend a higher rated system like the Reese Steadi-Flex, part # RP66558 which is rated for trailer tongue weights...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2004 Jeep Liberty
  • Brake controllers are not vehicle specific so any brake controller we carry can be installed on your Jeep Liberty. Along with a brake controller you will need a Brake Controller 7 and 4 Way Installation Kit, item # ETBC7, or item # ETBC6, because your vehicle does not have factory wiring installed for a brake controller. You will also need a working 4-Way trailer connector either item # 118524, if you do not already have one. I have posted a link below to an FAQ article and a video of...

  • Hitch Mounted Tilting Bike Rack for a 2005 Jeep Liberty that Accommodates a Rear Mounted Spare Tire
  • I was able to measure several hitch mounted bike racks that we have available in our video studio and have found a bike rack that will clear your spare tire, carries up to 4 bikes, and has a tilt away function. The Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR is a hitch mounted bike rack that will fit in both a 1-1/4 and 2 inch hitch receivers, and uses the same hitch pin hole. It will hold up to 4 bikes and has folding arms, and a tilting away function. Also the distance from the hitch pin should...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2004 Jeep Liberty
  • All of the hitches we currently offer for a Jeep Liberty will fit years 2002-2007 and no other vehicles. The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2004 Jeep Liberty is the Draw-Tite part # 75128. It's a Class-III with a 2-inch receiver. The maximum gross trailer weight is 5,000 pounds and tongue weight capacity is 500 pounds. If you plan on doing any towing, the wiring harness kit you need is the Tow Ready # 118524. Or if you already have a factory tow package then go with Hopkins custom...

  • Recommended Ballmount Rise and Drop for a 2004 Jeep Liberty
  • The recommended ballmounts for the 2004 Jeep Liberty with have a rise of 3/4 of an inch, and a drop of 2 inches. This would put your hitch ball at the most common trailer size, but to confirm it would work for your application I do recommend measuring. To find the required rise or drop for your particular trailer, you would first measure from the ground to the top of your hitch opening. If a hitch is not yet installed, you can also get close by measuring from the ground to a point just...

  • Replacement Disc Brakes for Tie-Down Engineering Hub With 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern
  • Thanks for the kind words, and based on what you said the over-the-hub disc brake kit that will work is the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35D. This will work with your 4-bolt flange, 14 inch wheels and is rated for 3,500 lb axles so it is the right weight capacity for your trailer with a GVWR of just under 6,000 lbs. The only thing you will want to ensure is that you do have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, as you didn't quite specify that, though it looks like that's what you have. Just to be...

  • Will etrailer.com Folding Cargo Carrier Clear the Sapre Tire on a 2002 Jeep Liberty
  • The etrailer.com Folding Cargo Carrier, part # e98874, has 9-1/2 inches of clearance from the hitch pin hole to the closest surface of the cargo carrier when folded and chances are this is more than enough clearance for your spare tire. The only way to be sure it will fit is to measure. Take a dowel rod or a yard stick and lay it against the spare tire. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight out to the dowel rod. If it is greater than 9-1/2, then the carrier will not fit...

  • How To Wire A Towed Vehicle When Both Vehicles Have Separate Stop And Turn Signals
  • The Tow Ready Vehicle To Vehicle Taillight Converter, # 118158, you have referenced will not be needed since you will be staying with a 3-wire system (separate stop and tail lights)on both of your vehicles. The converter is only needed if you had a 2-wire system (combined stop and tail lights) on the towing vehicle and a 3-wire system on the vehicle being towed. I would recommend using a diode system to wire your vehicle because the diodes will prevent feedback from going from the taillights...

  • Will Thule Double Track Bike Rack, Part # TH990 Clear the Spare Tire on 2002 Jeep Liberty
  • You will need to measure to find out if you will have enough clearance for the Thule Double Track Bike Rack, part # TH990, to clear your spare tire. The distance from the hitch pin hole on the rack to the closest upright portion of the rack that could interfere with the spare tire is 11-1/2 inches. You will want to measure 11-1/2 inches back from the pin hole on your hitch to see if that distance will clear your spare tire.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For 2004 Jeep Liberty
  • The wiring harness I recommend for your 2004 Jeep Liberty is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118524. This harness simply plugs into the Jeep wiring located behind the tail lights. You will then run the hot lead up to the vehicle battery. I have attached a link to an installation video for this harness on a liberty you can check out. When working with electrical connectors I recommend using dielectric grease like part # 11755. This keeps dirt and moisture out of the electrical...

  • Longer Ball Mount Recommendation to Clear Rear Spare of 2005 Jeep Liberty
  • A longer ball mount in a hitch like the Curt part # 13044 which is confirmed as a fit for your 2005 Jeep Liberty would be what you need. It sounds like you already have a hitch though so for a ball mount the # BH20 has a distance of 13-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole out to the ball mount hole so it would be a great option. This ball mount has a 2 inch drop/3/4 inch rise so if you need a different rise/drop you would want to check out the link I attached to the page that has all of...

  • How to Keep Roof Cargo Basket Hardware Tight
  • Most rooftop cargo baskets' hardware is designed to work with multiple roof rack bar shapes. For instance, the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # C18115-117 fits round, square, elliptical and aero bars, as well as most factory roof racks. If you are able to install and tighten the existing mounting hardware then what I suggest is to simply use some thread locker like # LT37420 to keep the knobs from backing off as you drive. It is generally safer to use the hardware made for the cargo basket.

  • Can 2002 Jeep Liberty Be Used with Brake Buddy Braking System for Flat Towing
  • Yes, both the Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494 and Select 3 # HM39524 will fit your 2002 Jeep Liberty just fine. The legs on these systems are adjustable to accommodate different vehicle floors so fitment won't be an issue. I'm not sure why that answer was given but it was incorrect.
