That is the correct hole size for brake mounting flange # 4-34. That would leave space for an approximate 1/8 inch weld all around the spindle. Because welding on brake flanges is a precision job it is recommended to have a professional welder with experience welding on flanges to perform the installation. A special jig needs to be used to ensure the flanges are perfectly straight/concentric or it could lead to tire wear and other issues that will negatively impact the performance of the... view full answer...
Yes, electric brake assemblies will work in reverse. The brake controller in your tow vehicle would still activate in reverse as long as the brakes are applied.

In order to get 12V for your battery charger, you will only need to splice wires. You would want to us the 4-Pole Loop with Cover # HM47115, cut off one connector and splice it into the RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector # RM-910030-7. For an adapter you would then want to use the Hopkins Endurance Flex-Coil Trailer Connector Adapter - 7-Way to 6-Pole # HM47053.
I've added a couple links to video reviews of these products for you to take a look at. view full answer...
A proportional brake controller, like the Hopkins Agility, # HM47294, has to be mounted within a certain range, see instructions link, and cannot be tilted on its side. That would cause the internal sensors to not work properly and the brake controller would not be functional.
If you want to go with a proportional controller, the P2, # 90885, can be mounted a full 360 degrees in the direction of travel and not tilted or turned to the side, see instructions linked for you.

You will need to find out the towing capacity of your 2004 Jeep Wrangler and make sure the trailer you will be towing will be under the towing capacity of your Wrangler.
Make sure the hitch you are using on your Wrangler will have enough towing capacity for towing your trailer. Remember that you are limited by the lowest-capacity product in your towing system, whether it is the hitch, ball mount or ball. Make sure that these components have the same capacity or higher as your hitch.

Sounds like you have a diode style tow bar wiring kit for your 2016 Jeep Wrangler and are wanting help knowing which wires to connect to.

It shows how we accessed, located, and connected to all of the wires which will be much more helpful than a diagram. view full answer...
The CURT Front Hitch, # 31408, attaches to the top of the front bumper on your 2004 Jeep Wrangler. I have included a link to installation instructions and a photo of a similar hitch in the same mounting location for you.

The car side quick disconnects are bolted directly to the base plates installed on the frame of your vehicle, and are then attached to the quick disconnects on the tow bar side.
For the 1998 Jeep Wrangler, You would use base plate kit # 1424-1 if your 1998 Jeep Wrangler is a Rubicon, Unlimited, or double tube bumper model. If your vehicle has a U-channel bumper, you would use base plate kit # 1417-1.
To give you a better understanding of how the car side quick disconnects and a towbar... view full answer...
The most common place that they are mounted is on the fender or on the firewall, depending on battery location. The heavy gauge wire leads for the battery are long enough to allow flexibility as far as mounting location. It is not an extremely complex operation, and the simpler the operation, the less problems. We have not heard of any problems with the units we sold so far. view full answer...
I went out to the warehouse to measure the square holes in the Trailer D-Ring Tie Down, # LRB1. According to my measurements it will accept bolts no larger than 7/16 inches in diameter. A 3/8 inch bolt would probably be the most ideal size to use. view full answer...
On the winch side of the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit Item # BDW20206, the wires are designed to be crimped and soldered onto your wires. If you take a look at the video I've linked, you can see this addressed by our installer starting at about the 5:30 mark.
As for the wire gauge on your winch, I recommend taking a look at your owner's manual if you still have it laying around somewhere, but 2 gauge is pretty typical on the 9,500 lb winches we carry such as the Bulldog # BDW10045. view full answer...

The brake switch wire you need should be the white/brown wire on your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 or a meter if you have one to verify the function of that wire.
The brake switch on your Jeep is indeed in a hard to reach location. There isn't another place to tap into that would work for this application so it has to be done the hard way. I once had a customer who suggested that he would have to use an ambidextrous little person to reach it. So... view full answer...
