Dimensions Of Bestop TrailMax ll Vinyl Rear Bench Seat for 1969 Jeep CJ-5
I have attached a photo of the Bestop TrailMax II Fixed - Vinyl Rear Bench Seat, part # B3943715. As the dimensions show in the photo, the seat measures 22-1/2 inches tall from the bottom of the seat to the top of the back.

Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1983 Jeep CJ5 With Custom Bumper
Thanks for coming back to us here at etrailer. Flat towing your 1983 Jeep CJ5 that has a custom bumper will require D-rings or another method of attaching a tow bar.

This is not necessarily the case so you'll want to make certain before you proceed. We do have d-ring tow bar adapters such as # RM-035-1 from Roadmaster to allow hookup of...

Flat-Towing 1979 Jeep Wrangler CJ-5
In order to be able to tow your 1979 Jeep CJ-5, you will need to install base plates which the tow bar will attach to. We do not carry any specific base plates for your Jeep but we may have an option. I recommend the Blue Ox Universal base plates, part # BX88230. These do not attach to the Jeep frame. They actually attach to the Jeep bumper. They are designed to be bolted to a flat surface on the bumper, so the bumper may need to be modified and reinforced to be able to handle towing....

How To Hard Wire a Trailer Harness to a 1982 Jeep CJ 5
We have not yet had the opportunity to install trailer wiring on any of the older Jeeps yet. You will need a circuit tester, part # PTW2993, to make sure you have the right wires, but it is a pretty straight-forward install once you get your hands on some wires. The white wire on the connector is a ground wire, so it needs to be attached to the vehicle frame. There will probably other wires nearby grounded to the frame that you could splice to. The brown wire is for the running lights....

Availability of a Bestop Tigertop for a 1965 Jeep CJ-5
The Tigertop, # B5140501, for your 1965 Jeep CJ-5, does come with the necessary hardware for installation. At this time, there is not a model available that does not come with hardware. According to Bestop, it is unlikely that the old Whitco hardware will be compatible with the newer Tigertop. It is recommended in either case to use the new hardware when installing a new part. I have included a link to the installation details for the Tigertop for reference.

Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 1972 Jeep Renegade?
It appears no one is manufacturing a trailer hitch receiver for your 1972 Jeep Renegade, which is likely due to the age of your Jeep. I recommend looking at the Curt Weld-On 2" Receiver # E17 for your Jeep. This receiver is bare steel so you will be able to weld it and any support plates to your Jeep before painting the assembly. If you are unsure you can visit a nearby fabrication shop to get their opinion on what they will be able to fabricate.

Parts Needed To Flat-Tow 1982 Jeep CJ-5 With Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
We do not have a custom base plate kit that is designed for your 1982 Jeep, but I do have a solution that will work for you. First you will need to install the Universal Blue Ox Bolt-On Base Plate Bracket Kit, part # BX88230. This attaches to the bumper on your Jeep.
