Expert Answers about Jeep JL Wrangler


  • How to Protect a Toad from Chips or Scratches While in Tow
  • The Snoblock Snow and Ice Windshield and Wiper Blade Cover part # 288-06603 is not designed to be used on a moving vehicle. If used in this fashion then the chances of it tearing would be increased therefore I cannot recommend this. However, we do still have multiple ways of protecting your toad while in tow and not just the windshield portion either. For this, I recommend taking a look at Sentry Deflector part # DM9523135 if you have a Demco Tow Bar, the Guardian Rock Guard part # RM-4000...

  • Which Trailer Hitch for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Has Best Clearance for Bike Rack to Fit Past Spare
  • We do have hitch extenders that you could possibly use to help get your bike rack out past your rear spare but the best solution is the trailer hitch part # e98856 instead of the # 13432 as this hitch has a longer hitch tube which puts the hitch accessory out further on the rear of the Jeep for better clearance. When this hitch is installed the center of it's hitch pin will only be 2-1/2 inches away from the outer edge of a factory sized spare. For a 7 inch hitch extender we have the...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Running Lights Not Functioning After Wiring Install
  • Sonds like the problem is the trailer wiring kit part # C56407 that you referenced. Typically when this happens if you unplug and replug the connectors of the kit back in the circuit will make the appropriate contact and the circuit will come back on. So what you'll want to do if that does not fix the problem is use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to test the brown wire that comes off of the connector than runs to the left taillight (one with yellow wire) to see if there is voltage there...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring of Jeep Where Only 12 Volt Accessory Circuit Works
  • Typically this problem is caused by corrosion or dirt on the trailer wiring pins. I'd first try cleaning all of the pins of the 7-way with sandpaper and make sure none of them are bent or damaged. Other place to check is fuses under the hood of the vehicle if the wiring is OEM. You can also check to make sure the wiring behind the connector isn't damaged. I attached a link to a page that covers trailer wiring troubleshooting for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Brake Controller Recommended for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
  • The Redarc Tow Pro Elite you'd looked at, part # RED44FR would be an excellent choice. The control unit of the controller mounts under the dash so it's out of sight and not in the way, and the control knob would install within easy reach of the driver. If there's an unused switch knockout in the dash, that's the best place to install it. The controller even includes a bezel that would make the installation look like it came from the factory. To install the controller, you'll need our #...

  • Does LED Indicator Light of SMI Air Force One Light Up When Vehicle isn't Connected
  • The LED notification strip that typically attaches to the rearview mirror of the vehicle being flat towed will not always light up when the vehicle brakes are applied. It would have to be connected to the tow vehicle. I attached a diagram for how it wires up as well.

  • Does Solera Awning Come with Solera Shield
  • The Solera 13 Ft Slider in Black w/ Black Hardware # LCV000165061 referenced in your question does not include an aluminum cover that wraps around the awning when it is retracted. We do not currently have this type of product available. All of the necessary mounting hardware is included with the Slider. It is 156 inches wide with a box width range of 146 inches to 151-3/4 inches. I have attached a video demonstration of this product so you can see exactly what all is included and how everything...

  • Best 4-Way Trailer Wiring Kit Recommendation for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  • The best choice for 4-way trailer wiring for your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL is the T-One kit part # 118786. Reason is it has higher amperage ratings so it would be more difficult to short out and because T-One in general just makes more reliable trailer wiring for vehicles.

  • Haul 2 Kayaks on Pioneer Platform Roof Rack
  • I do have a solution for you to mount two kayaks, however a Hullavator must be mounted on a crossbar that extends 4 - 8 inches beyond the crossbar foot at the roof's edge. It will not mount to the Pioneer Platform. Even if you decided to mount crossbars over the platform sticking out 4" to 8" on each side, they would still not clear those ladders on the side of your vehicle. It appears that your roof is less than 60" wide so tying down two 30" wide kayaks side-by-side on the Pioneer...

  • Why is the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit Needed for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  • I cannot tell you the exact "influencer" as you referred to it as but while the vehicle is setup for flat-towing, the brake light switch will shut off after 10 minutes of inactivity. If you open or close the door that will then wake the vehicle up but as you will not be opening and closing the door while in tow you will need to use the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit part # RM-751490 in order for a supplemental braking system to function properly on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler. If you...

  • Swing Away Platform 2-Bike Rack Solution
  • For a two bike rack similar to two Yakima HighRoad bike racks part # Y75FR that you can use with the Yakima EXO Swingbase part # Y34VR you'd want the Yakima EXO Double Up part # Y24VR. The channels of the Swingbase are not compatible with standard bike racks and require racks specifically made for them. Or for a similar pivoting platform bike rack we have the RockyMounts BackStage part # RKY10002 which is a little easier on price.

  • Can Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights be Used with Sprinter RV
  • The LED resistor requirement your Sprinter has would be related to replacement vehicle taillight wiring and not if the trailer wiring/tow bar wiring was LED like the # TL21RK. So you would not need to use any resistors with this kit. Also this kit uses incandescent bulbs and not LED.

  • Demco Base Plate Kit for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon with Steel Bumper
  • Yes, the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519339 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon with the factory steel bumper and it will work great. In order to flat tow your Jeep you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. Just in case you still need some or all of these components I will list my recommendations below. Tow Bar - Demco Excali-Bar III # DM9511013 (safety cables are included!) Lighting...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement to Reduce Sag on 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
  • For the rear sag on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, I recommend the Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops - Rear Suspension - 2,400 lbs # TABSJRJK does not allow for spacers so it won't reduce your sag much. My recommendation that will allow adjustment to fill the space and reduce sag is the Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear # AL60829. If you want the compressor for adjustability at anytime you can use # AL25980.
