Expert Answers about Jeep JL Wrangler


  • Could Hollywood Racks E-Bike Rack Fit 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  • Probably not but you'd need to take one measurement. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your Jeep Hitch out to the furthest point on the rear spare. If that measurement is less than 7-1/2 inches the Hollywood Racks E-Bike Rack # HLY74FR would fit without interference.

  • Recommended 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness for 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • The correct Tekonsha 4-Way harness for your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is the T-One # 118786. This will plug right into factory ports behind the driver and passenger side tail lights. The included powered converter then needs to be ran up to the Jeep's battery to safeguard the vehicle's wiring and ensure enough power gets back to the trailer lights. This will provide you with just the needed 4-Way connector to activate the trailer's basic signal lights (without brake or 12V power functions)....

  • Pro and Cons of Air Bags Versus a Weight Distribution System for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  • For your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler, I recommend using a weight distribution system, the Husky Center Line Weight Distribution part # HT32215 for 2" hitch ball or part # HT32216 for 2-5/16" hitch ball. The main reason I recommend a weight distribution system over airbags like the Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL60829 is because the weight distribution system has integrated sway control. Now, you may not think that because you have a light trailer that trailer...

  • Brake Controller 12V Input Switch on 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 only needs to see a 12V power coming from switch activation. It has an internal inertia-based sensor that will sense the braking effort and relay that to the trailer. The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch # RM-751490 is an option that can be used due to the location of the brake switch wiring on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler
  • I recommend using the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # 7070-2, which are a strap on, universal fit mirror that will work on the 2018 JL. These mirrors use heavy duty textured rubber straps to provide a tight and secure fit on your mirrors that will also help reduce vibration. I've linked a short review video of these on a Jeep Gladiator which has the same type of mirrors, so it should give you a good idea as to how they'll look and fit.
