  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Cherokee
  • The Roadmaster parts you've selected are a great choice to give you a high quality flat towing setup for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee, however there is one change I would make here. Since the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 comes with a 7 wire to 6 wire wiring harness included, I recommend using the # RM-152 instead of the # RM-154, which is better suited for a 4 way trailer connector. If your Fleetwood Fortis does not have a 7 way on the rear and instead has a 4 way, then the # RM-154 will work...

  • Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Jeep Cherokee Behind Motorhome
  • It looks like you're pretty much on track. The # RM-676 Nighthawk tow bar would be a good choice, it includes the safety cables and the wire umbilical as well as the wiring connector that would install on the front of the Cherokee. You'd need to cut the 4 pole connector off the # HM56208 and wire it into the connector included with the tow bar, but other than that, the # HM56208 would work great. Since you have the Trailhawk sub-model, the # RM-521447-5 base plates you mentioned wouldn't...

  • Clearance and Marker LED Lights for Lark Trailer
  • I have a solution for you but we do not offer any kits larger than the one you referenced item # TL16RK. We do offer a wide range of red LED marker lights for your Lark 12 Ft trailer. I have linked our selection to the bottom of this page so you can sort by the size and mounting style you require. For white marker lights I recommend the Mini LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light 1 Diode - Clear Lens item # MCL99AC1B.

  • 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...

  • Parts Needed To Install Trailer Brake Controller On 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With Factory 4-Way
  • The Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 will allow you to connect to the 4-way flat connector on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. It provides the wiring needed to install a charge line and Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR. I prefer the Redarc in the small compartment of your Jeep as you will be able to mount the small control knob where it is easy to reach and will not take up as much room on your dash as a larger Controller # 90195.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1979 Jeep CJ-5
  • I'm not quite sure by what you mean by what you need as far as the "transmission and powertrain", would you be able to get back to me as far as what parts you are specifically asking about? Also, for any information I would need to know what model of 1979 Jeep you have.

  • What Else is Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar
  • To pair up with the Sterling All-Terrain, part # RM-576, use the Roadmaster Direct Connect base plate kit, part # RM-521448-5, as long as you have the standard factory bumper. This way you won't have to use any adapters. You do need different safety cables because the ones included with the Sterling don't fit the base plates. Instead use part # RM-643. You also need a wiring harness and braking system to tow your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Since the Sterling comes with a connector...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2022 Jeep Wrangler with Factory Bumper
  • You will need 5 main parts to flat tow your 2022 Jeep Wrangler with factory bumper. Those parts are a base plate kit, tow bar, safety chains, tow bar wiring and supplemental braking system. I have included a recommendation for each of those below and a brief description of their purpose. It is also important to note there may be additional parts needed depending on what the manufacturer recommends/requires. You should reference your Jeep's owners manual to ensure you are doing everything...

  • Supplemental Braking System and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  • Unfortunately, flat towing a vehicle can be expensive because there a number of parts involved and many of them are pretty costly. From our experience the surge brake style supplemental braking systems are not up to par with the electric systems like the Roadmaster InvisiBrake # RM-8700. The braking power is just inadequate. Using the InvisiBrake will give you great, reliable braking and once it's installed you never have to worry about it. With your 2009 Jeep Wrangler you'll also need...

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier and Crossbars for a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • For your 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee using the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 and the TimberLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # Y33TR I recommend going with the Malone MegaWing Fishing Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # MPG207. Reason being, the MegaWing has a larger weight capacity at 150-lbs compared to the 75-lbs max of the SeaWing # MPG107MD, is only a half a pound heavier, and has a longer load strap at 15' compared to the SeaWing's 11' straps. The positioning...

  • Tekonsha P3 Controller Wiring Adapter For A 2022 Jeep Cherokee
  • After doing some research i found out that The Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter # 3014-P is compatible with your 2022 Jeep Cherokee and will work with your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Controller # 90195. The plug where the harness will attach to is behind the black cover which is located to the left of the steering column, just above the carpet. If the mounting bracket did not come with your controller you will need the Replacement Mounting Bracket # TK5906. I attached a review video link of the...

  • Trailer Hitch For A 2022 Jeep Gladiator
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DR64FR is confirmed to fit your 2022 Jeep Gladiator. The trailer hitch has an easy, bolt-on installation with no welding required. It has a black powder coated finish that covers an e-coated base that offers a superior rust protection. The trailer hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight up to 7,500 pounds and has a maximum tongue weight up to 1,125 pounds. I would recommend checking your vehicle's manual to find out the proper towing...

  • Does Reese 63153 Cargo Carrying Tray Require an Anti-Rattle Device
  • An anti-rattle device isn't absolutely necessary for the Reese # 63153 cargo carrier, but using a locking hitch pin like # e98882 along with the # e99007 anti-rattle device would prevent the carrier from moving around in the hitch receiver. We also offer the # 63232 which combines a locking hitch pin with an anti-rattle hitch pin. I'll link to a video showing how this pin works. I've linked to a product demonstration video featuring the Reese # 63153 cargo carrying tray.

  • Parts Needed to Install 4-Way and 7-Way Connectors on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • If you don't already have electrical connectors on your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited then you will need to start off by installing a 4-Way connector like the T-One # 118416. This plugs in behind your tail lights and will give you the basic lighting functions for your trailer. One the T-One is installed you need to install the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7. This comes with all of the wiring and connectors you need to have a fully-functioning 7-way (and 4-Way) at the rear of your Jeep. If...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • We have everything you need to be ready. Starting with the tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain, part # RM-576. I like it because of the non-binding feature to make it easier to disconnect. It also includes safety cables, a 6-way wiring connector to go on the front of the Jeep, and the cable to connect the two vehicles. It also pairs well with the EZ5 base plate kit, part # RM-521453-5. The only catch is the Sterling's safety cable hooks will need to be connected...

  • Sway Control for Raised Tandem Axle Trailer that has Weight Distribution
  • Short of replacing the weight distribution you already have to one that includes sway control the Curt True Course Electronic Sway Control System # C94VV is a great choice. Since it can be installed virtually anywhere on your trailer, and is so easy to install, it makes it extremely versatile. It uses a gyroscope to sense movement in the trailer and applies the trailer's brakes when necessary to keep it in line with your Jeep.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Off-Road Bumper Using D-Rings
  • We do have adapters by Blue Ox that are designed to connect your Jeep's D-rings with a Blue Ox tow bar. The Adapter Lugs # BX88296 will fit a bumper that has 7/8 inch diameter lug pins. They are compatible with the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380. I see your concern of the adapter lugs scratching the paint on your Jeep's bumper because it's likely going to happen. Unfortunately, with the metal on metal contact there isn't much that can be done other than to apply some paint to the affected...

  • Recommended Roof Rack System for Use with Rhino Rack Nautic Kayak Carrier
  • If you want to go with a roof rack, the Exposed Racks Roof Rack for Jeep JL, JLU, and Gladiator Hardtop - Square Bars - Steel - Black # ER77FR would work well with the Rhino Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier # RR570. This would give you a nice setup to carry kayaks on the roof and this carrier is compatible with virtually all aftermarket roof rack systems including the square bars of the Exposed Racks. The other option I'll throw out there is going the truck bed rack route, which gives your...
