• Recommended Tow Bar Wiring and Supplemental Braking for Flat Towing 2020 Jeep JLU
• The Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes - Proportional # SM99243 is the correct solution for a Class C RV with air brakes to flat tow your 2020 Jeep JLU and would be the best choice for your 2011 Jayco Embark since it provides you with responsive, proportional braking.

• I can appreciate where you're coming from with this question since I experienced this issue when installing similar LED headlights in my JKU, which was remedied by installing an anti-flicker harness in-line.

• Parts Needed to Power the Blue Ox Patriot & Not Drain Battery in a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The great thing about supplemental braking systems is that they're not vehicle specific, so you can really use whatever you'd like that matches your needs. The Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR is a good choice to provide you with proportional braking compared to the amount of brakes being applied in the coach. The Patriot II is fully compatible with your 2014 Jeep Wrangler, but you will be required to install an additional 12v power supply that is tied into the tow bar wiring-which is described...

• Parts Needed for Curt C51180 Wireless Brake Controller on 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• As long as the 12-v pin in the 1:00 position on your 7-way connector is active, the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless brake controller would work great for you with no additional parts needed, except for the smart phone used to control it. If that pin isn't active, you'd need to connect it to the positive battery terminal using # 12-1-1 wire with a # 9510 40A circuit breaker installed inline. You'll also need 2 # 44-5310A and one # 44-5356A ring terminal to make the connections at the battery...

• Recommended Platform Rack and Ladder for a 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• A cargo basket with a rack is not something we carry, however I do have another solution. What you can do is install a set of crossbars # RRVA150B-2 with the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs # RRRLT600, Rhino-Rack Backbone Roof Rack Mounting System # RRRJKB1 and the Rubber Bases for Rhino-Rack RRRLT600 Quick Mount Legs # RRQMFK06. From here, you'd need to install a platform rack # RR52TB to then be able to use the Folding Ladder for Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RRRAFL. It's a long way...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
• While there are parts that will allow you to flat tow your 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, unfortunately there is no way to do it with a front-mounted hitch like your Draw-Tite # 65069 because it will not give your Jeep the needed support while being towed. The most economical option is the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms # C19745 which comes with universal bumper brackets that do need to mount to a flat metal section of your bumper and will almost certainly require modification...

• In order to use the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 on your 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, you will need Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400. You will also need the tail light wiring kit Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs # RM-155.

• Tekonsha or Redarc? Which Brake Controller is Better?
• I have a great proportional brake controller that is really popular with Jeep owners. It is the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Trailer Brake Controller item # RED24FR. This is a proportional brake controller that automatically adjusts your trailer's braking based on the deceleration of your Jeep. It has a 3-Axis accelerometer that measures deceleration in all directions for precise braking and smooth, uniform stopping action. This will be beneficial when traveling in the mountains.

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch For A Jayco Mini Trailer

When selecting a weight distribution hitch you need to be as close as possible to the fully load tongue weight rating of your trailer.

• 2017 Wrangler Unlimited 75 Ann Edition Toad for 2016 Dynamax Grand Sport with 7 Pole Round Connector
• I have a solution for you that will still allow you to use the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 .

Below you will find a list of parts that you'll need and then below that I will quickly explain how they're all going to work together. I'm also attaching a couple of photos...

• Converting 4-Way Trailer Connector to a 4- and 7-Way Connector on a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• Take a look at how the factory 4-way of your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is installed. Follow the harness to see where it plugs in. If it has a rectangular connector like the # HM40975-11933 plugs into then this will work for you. You also will need to add wiring using our # 5506 kit in order to install a brake controller. If your Jeep's 4-way doesn't plug in using that type of connector, or if you just want to run everything new instead of having to find the correct wires in the Jeep...
