Expert Answers about Jeep YJ


  • How Can Roadmaster Crossbar 910021-00 Be Installed On 1988 Jeep YJ?
  • The Replacement Crossbar # 910021-00 you were looking at would get installed on your 1988 Jeep YJ via the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1409-1. The # 1409-1 will only work with the factory steel bumper, so if you have a different bumper you cannot use the crossbar. Let me know if you're still needing other flat tow components and I'd be happy to get you squared away with everything you need.

  • Will the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for a 1991 Jeep YJ Fit with Tube Style Bumper
  • I do have an option for you but we don't offer any base plates for a 1991 Jeep YJ confirmed to fit on models with an aftermarket tube bumper. The only custom base plate kit we really offer for this vehicle is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1137 which is designed for models with the standard factory bumper. Therefore, you may need to make modifications in order for this to work with a tube style bumper but this is unfortunately your only option as they don't make another one for this...

  • Tow Bar Light Kit Recommendation for a 1988 Jeep Wrangler
  • For tow bar lighting for your 1988 Jeep Wrangler you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring. You will also want the # BX88206 to connect this lighting solution to your tow vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

  • Installing Blue Ox Base Plate Bracket Kit # BX88230 on 1989 Jeep YJ with Aftermarket Bumper
  • According to my contact at Blue Ox, their Bolt-On Base Plate Bracket Kit # BX88230 needs to be installed as close as possible to a 24-inch spread for use with their Alpha Tow Bar. You have at most 1 - 2-inches of leeway either wider or narrower. Since your bumper's D-rings are 28-1/2-inches apart you may be able to fit the brackets inboard of the D-rings and remain within an acceptable spread. It is a good idea to check with the manufacturer of your aftermarket bumper to find out if any...

  • Installing The Pavement Ends Sun Cap Plus On 1993 Jeep YJ
  • When replacing the top on your 1993 Jeep YJ with the Pavement Ends Sun Cap Plus for Jeep - Spice # PE4152437, you will need to also get Bestop Windshield Channel # B51209 to secure it to your windshield. I attached a link to the installation instructions for the windshield channel.

  • Can Roadmaster 4 Diode Tow Bar Lighting Kit Install on Vehicle with Separate Turn Signals
  • The Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-98146-7 can work on your 1994 Jeep Wrangler that has separate turn signals from stop lights. It will wire to your Wrangler in a way that operates the stoplights just like a vehicle with combined taillights. So now your stop lights have two brightnesses (not really a word), lower illumination for stoplights and brighter for stoplights. With this kit installed it will allow the running lights to be on when the headlights...

  • Can Both Soft Upper and Lower Doors be Used on a 1987 Jeep YJ
  • The upper soft top doors included with the Rampage Complete Soft Top Kit part # RA68215 cannot be used with the lower soft doors included with the Bestop Soft Lower Half Doors for Jeep part # B5303815 on your 1987 Jeep YJ. The reason for this is because the pegs that the upper door uses for installation will not be present on the lower soft door. Therefore, you will need to choose between one or the other or find a way to modify the pair to work together. Please note the Bestop Soft Lower...

  • Tow Bar Wiring to Flat Tow a 1995 Jeep Wrangler Behind a Motor Home
  • Hopkins trailer wiring harness # 42615 does not fit a 1995 Jeep YJ. Also, it is a harness meant for towing a trailer WITH a Jeep rather than to tow the Jeep behind a motor home. I have included a link to the wiring harnesses for flat towing the Jeep. There isn't a plug and play type of harness for this particular vehicle. What I recommend and what our installers like to install because it is the easiest is the bulb and socket kit # RM-155. This bypasses the vehicle wiring so there is no...

  • What Wiring Harness Is Needed To Use The Factory Taillights As Towing Lights On A 1992 Jeep YJ
  • You will need the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-154, which will give you everything you need to wire your Jeep YJ so the taillights will work as towing lights. It comes with diodes that will protect both vehicles wiring systems by preventing feedback. The Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118356, is for installing a 4-Pole flat trailer connector on your 1992 Jeep YJ. It is a wiring harness that you would use to connect to a trailer if you were towing a trailer...

  • Yes, the Rampage Replacement Upper Door Frames # RA89699 will fit the door skins that come with Rampage Trail Top All-Season 2-in-1 Soft Tops such as # RA109435, as well as the top itself, on a 1992 Jeep Wrangler (YJ).

  • Trailer Wheel Pilot Hole Diameter is Too Small for New Hub and Drum Assemblies
  • If the pilot hole on the wheel was larger than 4-3/4 inches, and the wheel is center on the hub using the lug nut rather than wheel bolts, it would not matter. But since the wheel pilot hole is smaller, you will not be able to use the hubs you purchased without also replacing the wheels. I went out to the warehouse and measured a Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # 42866UC3, to determine the diameter of the center portion that goes through the pilot hole of the wheel. Using some digital dial...

  • Tow Bar For D-Ring Aftermarket Bumper on 1989 Jeep Wrangler
  • We don't have an adapter that would allow a tow bar like # C19745 to attach to D-rings but we do have a solution. There are available adapters that would allow a motorhome mounted tow bar like the # RM-522 Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain tow bar to attach to the tabs that hold the D-rings onto your bumper. If you have the 7/8 or 1 inch thick tab, use # RM-035-1. For 3/4 inch thick tabs, use # RM-035.

  • Can a 350 Pound Motorcycle be Carried on the Back of a 1995 Jeep Wrangler
  • Curt trailer hitch # 13657 for your 1995 Jeep Wrangler (YJ) has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. The capacity only goes up to 400 pounds when towing a trailer and using weight distribution. So for hitch mounted accessories the hitch tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds it what you will need to go by. If the combined weight of the bike and carrier is over 350 pounds then you will not be able to carry the bike on the Jeep with a hitch mounted carrier. You would instead need to put...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1994 Jeep YJ Wrangler Behind a Motor Home
  • The first thing you are going to want to check is the vehicle owners manual to determine if the Jeep can be flat towed and if there are any special requirements. Both base plate kits for the 1994 Jeep YJ, # 1409-1 and # 1409-3 are standard kits and will fit your Jeep. The only difference is the design of each kit. Kit # 1409-3 has a crossmember and 1409-1 does not. And since they cost the same you cannot really go wrong with either one. For a tow bar, I have included a link to all of the...

  • Converter Recommendation for 1987 Jeey YJ for Adding Third Brake Light
  • What you need is a signal converter like the part # 118158 that you referenced. This will wire to your vehicle wiring that has the turn signals and stop light circuit on the same wire so that you can separate them out to get a dedicated stop light circuit.
