Expert Answers about Jeep TJ


  • What is the Minimum Distance Between D-Rings for Flat Towing 2003 Jeep TJ with D-Ring Adapter Kit
  • I was able to reach out to Roadmaster on this and the minimum distance allowable when towing with the Roadmaster Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035 (3/4") or # RM-035-1 (1") and a Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 is 22" apart. If your D-rings are not at least 22" apart you will need to keep using the base plates.

  • Identifying Brake Switch Wire For Trailer Brake Controller On 2005 Jeep Wrangler LJ Rubicon
  • It appears that on a 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ the brake switch wire used to connect a brake controller is white/tan. I do recommend verifying that it is the correct wire on your 2005 Jeep Wrangler LJ Rubicon using a Test Light # PTW2993. If that wire provides power when the brake pedal is pressed and no power when not pressing on the brake pedal then you have the correct wire to wire in your Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR.

  • Blue Ox Patriot Setup Problem 2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
  • I spoke to my contact at Blue Ox and he told me there was a couple of different steps you could take to correct the issue of the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional # BLU37TR pushing against the front seat of your 2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. He said that you can press the Patriot up against the seat pan under your front seat. This will keep your Patriot from hitting the manual seat adjustment bar and moving your seat backwards.

  • Will Curt Front Mount Hitch 31408 Interfere With Stock Bumper Blocks on a 1999 Jeep TJ
  • Front mounted hitch # 31408 should not interfere with the rubber bumper blocks on your 1999 Jeep TJ, as the hitch is installing directly to pre-existing holes in the vehicle frame. The hitch also sits above the bumper and frame rails for better clearance. You can, however, check to make sure that the bumper blocks are out of the way and are not going interfere with the installation. The hitch mounting holes are going to be in line with the frame rails on either side, and the hitch sits...

  • Can the Fuel Tank Be Removed from 2001 Jeep TJ With Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 13408 Installed
  • From what I have found, there are four bolts holding the fuel tank in place at the back of your 2001 Jeep TJ. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13408 covers these bolts once it is installed, so it would have to be uninstalled in order to access them and remove your fuel tank. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13430 instead. This hitch sits slightly further back, leaving those bolts accessible. There should be plenty of clearance to remove the fuel tank, although it may make...

  • Can Hopkins HM56202 be Wired into 6-Way Connector on Front of Towed Vehicle
  • Absolutely! We actually recommend doing this exact install a lot of the time. Using a 6-way, like part # PK12720 for an example, at the vehicle's front allows you to install additional wiring for a braking system or charge line but doing it this way makes it an easier install because the Hopkins # HM56202 is the easiest to install harness for your 2004 Jeep.

  • Will Progressive Dynamics Replacement Section Charge Batteries With Engine On
  • The Progressive Dynamics Replacement Section for AC/DC Power Distribution Panel # PD4645V will only charge the batteries with shore power. You won't be able to charge your house battery from the engine. This is compatible with Parallax/Magnetek model 6345, WFCO model 8945, and Parallax models 7345 and 8345. The reason you're only getting 12V is because that is the voltage from your alternator.

  • Correct Trailer Wiring for a 1997 Jeep Wrangler
  • I understand it can seem confusing but there is an easy solution. Very Easy! If you use the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118356 it will simply plug into the plugs beside each tail light. It will then send the signal to the 4 way trailer connector that you will hook the trailer to. The reason it works is because your Jeep is telling the wiring what to do. When you are stopped brakes pressed and turning left the blinker still blinks it...

  • Installation of Jeep-Style Trailer Lights
  • The Jeep-Style Combination LED Tail Light w/ Backup Light and License Plate Light - Driver Side # STL60RLBP and Passenger Side # STL60RB are not intended for use on a Jeep. They are simply the Jeep Style and are intended for trailer use. You will not be able to modify the lights without voiding a warranty. The studs are used for mounting only, so you technically can alter the mount without impacting function.

  • I've attached a link that takes you to all of the repair parts we have for the Roadmaster Sterling, including the repair kit # RM-910003-30.

  • Does the Roadmaster BrakeMaster For Hydraulic Brakes Require or Benefit From Vacuum Assist Brakes
  • The Roadmaster BrakeMaster Braking System with BrakeAway for RVs with Hydraulic Brakes # RM-9060 does not require or benefit from vacuum assist. You could actually argue that it is more of a hindrance. That is because the vacuum assist requires that the vacuum be released for installation and every time the tow vehicle is started after that you will need to release the vacuum before towing. I have included the instruction manual for the BrakeMaster 9060, it goes over the vacuum information...
