Expert Answers about Jeep Wrangler Unlimited


  • How to Install Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit on 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • The long and short of installing the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is that you'll need to remove the front bumper (disconnecting any electrical parts connected to the bumper) and then the base plate kit mounts directly to your frame. You will need to also make some cutouts in your bumper fascia for the removable arms to fit through. While I could copy out the entire installation instructions, anything I put here wouldn't do...

  • How To Hook Up Demco Stay-In-Play Coachlink On 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • The stop light switch on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is not active while in tow so you can either hook the signal wire up from the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System part # DM86VR to the breakaway as instructed in the install manual or to the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751490 which is more accurate.

  • Installation of Curt Class III 2-Inch Hitch # 13432 On a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said when installing the Curt Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # 13432, to your 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the bolts can be installed either direction, as long as they are torqued correctly. The reason they say back to front, when installing the bolts, is because on most applications there is more room on the front of the hitch to install the nuts to the bolts. The clearance is limited for the nuts to install when the bolts go in from the front to...

  • Can the Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster be Used with the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains
  • I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains part # TC2326. I do however have a few ideas for you to correct this issue and the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster part # TCMA3 is one of them. I have spoke to Titan in the past about the tensioner chain becoming loose and they recommend two things. The first thing they recommend is to add an additional tension like the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster. The next...

  • Ignition Key Position When Flat Towing 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • I consulted an online copy of the 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Owner's Manual, and found that the information regarding flat towing procedures begins on page number 532. The procedures outlined make no mention of what position the key needs to be in, but the ignition will need to be turned to the ACC position to unlock the steering wheel. Towing with the steering locked can damage the front tires and the steering system. I have linked you to some additional information about flat towing...

  • Does the Rampage Jeep Spare Tire Extender Still Allow the Use of the Stock 3rd Brake Light
  • I have a solution for you, but because the stock spare tire carrier and the 3rd brake light on the Jeep JKU are all one piece, the Rampage Spare Tire Extender # RA86610 will not allow you to continue using the 3rd brake light. In order to continue using your existing 3rd brake light you would need to use a different spare tire carrier like the Bestop # B6196101 which accepts the factory 3rd brake light in the tower on the back of the carrier. This carrier will extend the brake light up...

  • Do the Same Restrictions Apply for a Hitch Bike Rack on a Towed Vehicle as a Motorhome/5th Wheel?
  • For putting any bike rack on your back of your flat-towed vehicle, there are different restrictions that apply as if it was a motorhome or 5th-wheel trailer. Since there are different levels of torque involved with those options, the bike rack needs to be built accordingly to withstand the extra force. A rack that can handle a motorhome might not necessarily be able to handle a 5th-wheel trailer, for example. If you are looking for a rack that can withstand the forces of your flat-towed...

  • Will BedTred Custom Replacement Liner for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Repel Dog Hair
  • The BedTred Custom Jeep Replacement Liner for Rear Cargo Area, Tailgate, and Tub # BTJK11R4 is made of a thermoplastic liner that is over a foam so it will do spectacularly well against dog hair. Importantly, if a lot of dog hair does happen to get on the liner, it is very easy to remove the liner and clean out the dog hair so it is a really good option. The BedTred Custom Jeep Replacement Liner for Rear Cargo Area, Tailgate, and Tub # BTJK11R4 is a custom fit for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler...

  • Where to Trim the Air Dam on a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited to Install Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plates
  • I can see how the 2 different air dam trimming methods can confuse things some. But basically you can do it either way. The way our installers have done it in the video, linked for reference, takes more of the air dam off each end but it is also quicker and easier and, in my opinion, looks a lot cleaner. So really it is up to you as far as which method you want to follow. Neither method affects the performance of the base plates.

  • Brake Controller Install on 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • That is correct. If your 2021 Wrangler Unlimited has the connector located under the dash to the left of the steering column near the top of the e-brake pedal as shown in the provided photo, you'd use the # 3073-P harness to connect the # 90195 Tekonsha P3 to the connector under the dash. You'd want to sever the blue wire exiting the rear of the controller and connect it to the blue output circuit you ran from the MOPAR 7-way you installed. This assumes that the connector under the dash...

  • Installation of Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning Bar Spacing
  • Glad you are stoked about getting the Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning! It is a great product. Did you get the Extension Piece too, # RR31101? Depending on orientation of the sun you may want t have that option available. But as for making the connection to your rig, placement needs to be about 31-1/2 inches apart. You may need to adjust further when time to connect to your Jeep but this is a good start point. You may/may not need to adjust either way it is not overly challenging you will...

  • The Dexter Predator DX2 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 2 Axles - Proportional # 58-8 will have the red wire connect to the brown and white wire in your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

  • Curt Tow Bar Coupler on 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited and System Recommendations
  • The Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs # C19745 is not a custom fit for your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. I did confirm the curb weight of your vehicle at 4,397 lbs so it is compatible with the weight of your Jeep. You will simply mount the brackets to your bumper frame and it is recommended by the manufacturer to have the brackets spread 33 inches on center. I've attached the bracket dimensions to assist as well as the product video. For...

  • Is Trailer Brake Circuit Needed to Use the Prodigy RF Trailer Brake Controller
  • The blue wire for the trailer brake circuit does not need to be active in order to use the Prodigy RF, part # TK94FR. All you need is the brake, turn, and tail lights along with the 12 volt power circuit which should be on the pin in the 1 O'clock position on your JK.

  • How Do I Install A Brake Controller On My 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With The Factory Tow Package?
  • Having the factory towing package on your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited will actually make life a lot easier. You will need a couple parts to get the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite up and running, but it's easier than you think. The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite is also a controller I recommend a lot as it will have one of the cleanest looks once install, if not the most. It also works very well and is the controller I would put in my Silverado if I ever needed one. With that said, all you need is some wiring, First,...

  • How Much Time Will it Take a Pro to Install ETBC7 and Brake Control on 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • A professional installation can vary. It all depends on how the installer chooses to route the wiring from the back to the front and how they choose to go through the firewall on the vehicle. But it should take 2 to 3 hours to perform the installation. I have included some links to the right that should also help.
