Expert Answers about Jeep Liberty


  • Base Plate Kit, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, and Lighting Needed to Tow 2004 Jeep Wrangler
  • In order to use a tow bar with your Jeep, you will need to add base plates, # RM-521423-4 for models without brush guard or # 521426-1 for models with brush guard. You will then need to add Roadmaster Base Plate to Tow Ready Tow Bar Adapter, # RM-025, to be able to use the Tow Ready Tow Bar, # 63180. Keep in mind that this tow bar is rated for towing speeds of 45 miles per hour or less. The RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, # RM-020, may be a much better choice if you will be towing often or...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2005 Jeep Liberty
  • If your 2005 Jeep Liberty has a factory tow package, you could use either the Hopkins harness, # 42475, or the Tow Ready harness, # 118381. The vehicles with a tow package have a factory connector made to add a wiring harness. Both products will perform equally as well. But if your Liberty did not come with a tow package, you will need to use Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118524. This is a circuit protected powered converter which is required to protect the sensitive electrical...

  • Roadmaster Base Plates for a 2012 Jeep Liberty and BlackHawk Tow Bar
  • Yes, you can use either # 521433-1 (if the Liberty does not have a rockguard or skid plate) or # 521434-1 (if it does have a rockguard or skidplate). Either set is compatible with your BlackHawk tow bar. You will also need safety cables like # RM-643. Next you will need a lighting solution. I recommend the plug and play Hopkins harness # HM56204 for the easiest installation. You will also need a supplemental braking system on the Jeep as required by law in most states. The easiest to...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2005 Jeep Liberty
  • The Derale Transmission Cooler you referenced, # D13503 would be an excellent choice to protect the transmission of your 2005 Liberty. An aftermarket cooler will keep your transmission fluid in the optimal temperature range, below 200 degrees. The optimal installation position would be directly behind the grille, in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. Because of the plate-fin design of the transmission cooler, plenty of air will be able to pass through it and reach the A/C condenser...

  • Recommendations for Installing a P2 Brake Controller in a 2003 Jeep Liberty and a 2012 Liberty
  • On your 2012 Jeep Liberty there is not a port that a # TK93VR would install into. You could get a Replacement Brake Control Plug # 20127 and then hardwire the four wires to your Liberty. Once you do so you could simply unplug your P2 by the plug at the rear of the controller and then plug it back in in your other vehicle and it would be ready to go. The four wires on the back of the brake controller are: White: Ground, attached to the vehicles negative battery terminal. Black: 12v power...

  • How Does Brake Controller Install in 2009 Jeep Liberty with Factory 7-Way
  • There actually isn't a brake controller wiring port under the dash of your 2009 Jeep Liberty. You will have to hardwire the brake controller to your vehicle and factory 7-way. Since you have a 7-Way you will only need a few more components to complete a brake controller install on your vehicle. First let's start with a brake controller. I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it...

  • How to Determine if a Trailer Hitch is a 1-1/4 or 2 Inch on a Jeep Liberty
  • All you have to do is measure the hitch opening left to right or top to bottom, it doesn't matter. Don't measure the outside of the hitch, just the opening. Take a look at the picture I have included. Whether you Jeep Liberty factory hitch is a 1-1/4 inch or a 2 inch, the bike rack # TH9058 would fit just fine. Also check the hitch for a sticker that lists what Class it is and/or the capacity. If it is a Class I or has a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds or less then you have to...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Jeep Liberty
  • The Blue Ox Base Plate kit part # BX1976 that you referenced is the correct base plate kit for your wife's 2008 Jeep Liberty. It sounds like your Liberty may have the rock guard or skid plate, which this kit will replace once installed. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Alpha, # BX7380. It comes with safety cables and it is rated for 6,500 pounds. If you are looking for a more economical option you can use the Adventurer, # BX7322, but it does not come with safety cables and it...

  • What Circuit of the Roadmaster RM-155 Does the Brown Wire Run to
  • The issue is the way you wired up the brown wire. This needs to run to the running light circuit of your vehicle. This is the circuit that activates the dimmer illumination of the trailer lights you have on your vehicle. It would not run to both the brake and turn signal circuit like you mentioned. I attached a link to an install video for the # RM-155 being installed on a similar Liberty as yours.

  • The 2010 Jeep Liberty could have came in either a four wheel drive or two wheel drive configuration. The four wheel drive models can be flat towed with all four wheels down whereas the two wheel drive models cannot. If you have a Renegade then you have four wheel drive so it can be flat-towed. If you take a look at page 406 of your owner's manual, this is explained for you. In order to flat tow the vehicle you are going to need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tail light wiring...

  • Roof Rack Mounted Basket Recommendation for a 2012 Jeep Liberty
  • The type of crossbars you get are going to play a factor in choosing a basket. If you plan on getting the factory or dealer crossbars then the Thule MOAB, # TH690, Yakima LoadWarrior, # Y07070, and MegaWarrior, # Y07080, will all fit. If you go with Yakima round bars then the best fit will be the LoadWarrior or MegaWarrior. The smaller LoadWarrior will be a better fit for the length of the roof on the Liberty. If you do end up wanting a longer basket you could always add the extension...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Aliner Scout
  • There really is no reason that you could not install a SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack # SR1020 on your 2010 Aliner Scout. The feet of the rack will install securely and permanently on the roof of the camper. For bike racks I would recommend the Thule FastRide Fork-Mount Bike Carrier # TH95JV. This is a great rack because of how well it works and how easy it is to use.

  • 1980s Starcraft Frames Trailer Suspension Solution
  • Since that's a super unique design not supported by anything out there currently your best option might be to box the frame and then go to a more standard style of trailer suspension hanger like with the part # APT5. Basically the hangers of this would weld to the bottom of the boxed frame giving you a way to install modern trailer suspension. This kit comes with equalizers, shackles, and bolts.

  • What is the Best Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2008 Jeep Liberty
  • If you are looking for the best trunk mount bike rack for your 2008 Jeep Liberty I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. It is by far the best trunk mount rack I have ever used (I have an older version of the 3-bike model). This bike rack can lock out access to the adjustment levers for the cables to deter theft of the rack. It also features an integrated cable lock in the last bike position to deter bike theft. The rack uses 2 rubber straps to mount to a vehicle instead of 6 straps...

  • 4-Way Recommendation for 2012 Jeep Liberty with 7-Way
  • Since you have a 7-way installed already on your 2012 Jeep Liberty I have a much easier solution for a 4-way but the part # 118554 would technically fit and work. Instead the part # 118384 would be much easier to install and use. This will plug in line with the 7-way at the rear of your Liberty and then will provide you with a 4-way.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2003 Jeep Liberty
  • To know if the Swagman Titan 2 Bike Carrier, part #S63400, will fit on your 2003 Jeep Liberty you will need to take a measurement. You will want to measure on your hitch from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest rearward portion of the spare tire. This measurement will determine the clearance needed for a hitch bike rack to fit. For the Swagman bike rack to fit the measurement you took will have to be less than 14-1/2 inches.
