Expert Answers about Jeep TJ


  • Flat Towing Recommendations For A 2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ
  • The # 63180 Tow Ready tow bar you linked to has a max speed rating of 45 mph so you wouldn't be able to tow your vehicle on the highway. Instead if you're wanting to tow with a ball hitch I recommend the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - A-Frame - Car Mount - 5,000lbs Item # BX7322. If you have a double tube or standard bumper the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms Item # BX1120 will fit your vehicle but this will require some drilling and trimming to fit, as will...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ
  • To flat tow your 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ, I recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1420-1. The arms of this kit can be removed when you are not towing your Jeep to maintain the look of the Jeep. For a tow bar that is compatible with these base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar # RM-520. This tow bar features a quick-disconnect system to allow you to quick and easily mount and remove the tow bar. The telescoping arms help make hook up easier and will...

  • Where Does the RoadMaster Base Plate # RM-521424-5 Install Below Bumper on a 2004 Jeep TJ?
  • I went ahead and contacted my tech at Roadmaster, and he confirmed that while he doesn't have the exact measurement below the bumper where the Base Plate # RM-521424-5 installs on a 2004 Jeep TJ, he did confirm that the pins on the baseplate sit 17.25" from the ground. This is with standard 215/75R15 tires. This is super helpful for you to compare with your current setup if you have a lift kit or larger tires installed. I also attached a photo from the installation instructions that provides...

  • Recommended Tow Bar Wiring Harness For 1997 Jeep TJ
  • Thanks for the pictures! The Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BLU79FR you were looking at has square connectors that will not plug into the connectors you have on your 1997 Jeep TJ. Since we do not offer a custom wiring kit that will plug into the connectors you have on your Jeep, I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 which will splice into your factory harness and the included diodes will protect your factory wiring from feedback or damage from your tow...

  • The Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521424-5 is compatible with your 1999 Jeep TJ if it has a double tube bumper or a U-channel bumper and it does not have front leaf springs. If you have the Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 then they are compatible and you won't need an adapter. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.

  • Remote Dual Oil Filter Mount Kit # D15707 for a 2003 Jeep Wrangler X with 4.0 Liter

The filters that you use with this kit would have to have 3/4"-16 threads. If additional hose is needed you can use # D15700 for a 10 foot long section. And for hose clamps use # D13008.

  • Recommendation For 7-Way RV To 4-Way Flat Connector For Tow Vehicle
  • Since your RV already has a 7-Way connector, the Wesbar Coiled Adapter-7-Way to 4-Way or 5-Way Flat, Item # 787196, will work if your 2002 Jeep TJ is already wired for flat towing. If your Jeep is not yet wired for flat towing then I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, Item # RM-154, which will have everything you need to connect your Jeep's tail lights and wiring systems to your RV system while preventing feedback from your RV. You may already have these things...

  • Will the Thule Spare Me Spare Tire Mounted Bike Carrier Fit a 2005 Jeep TJ with 32-11.50-15 Tires
  • According to the manufacturer, the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Carrier, item # TH963, will fit your vehicle if you are using the standard OEM spare tire. Since you have an over-sized spare tire you will need to measure from the back side of the wheel to the farthest out part of the spare tire. Lay a straight edge or a 2x4 on both sides of the tire and measure to the closest side of the 2x4 form the back side of the wheel and if you get 5 inches or less the bike carrier will work.
