  • Measuring Rear Liftgate Clearance for Swagman Original 3 Bike Rack on 2018 Jeep Compass
  • You can confirm rear liftgate clearance for the Swagman Original 3 Bike Rack # S64152-2 on your 2018 Jeep Compass with one simple measurement. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole rearward 14-inches. This is where the upright bar of the Swagman rack will be when installed. Use a straight edge item like a yardstick or wooden dowel to mark this vertical location and open the liftgate. If it does not touch the yardstick then you'll have no clearance issue. The linked article and photo...

  • Can 2 Yakima ShowDown Carriers be Used on a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • To use the Yakima ShowDown # Y04081 you would need a roof rack where the crossbars extend past the legs at least 3-1/2". From what I can tell, the Mopar roof rack for your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee has crossbars that end where the legs fit. I do have a solution for you to carry your kayaks but when I reached out to my contact at Yakima she said you would need to at least use their 70" crossbar and that 2 of the ShowDown carriers will be at least 80" wide when placed side by side. Because...

  • Can 66" Crossbars be Installed on 78" Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer
  • The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 was designed for the 78" bars and so to use the 66" Round CrossBars # Y00410 you'll need to swap out to the 66" Crossmembers # 8880155 as well, otherwise the trailer will be too wide for the 66" crossbars. I confirmed all of this with my contact at Yakima.

  • Can Metal Skid Shield/Air Dam be Made to Fit with Front Hitch on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
  • I reached out both to Curt and Draw-Tite about the installation of their front mount hitches, parts # C31086 and # 65079 respectively, on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and I pretty much got the same answer from both of them. The plastic pieces are pretty easy to modify but the metal is a little more tricky. Since there would be a much more involved process getting it to fit right neither of them offer a way to do this. So what you're left with is either leaving the skid shield/air dam...

  • Will the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack Fit On a 2020 Jeep Wrangler?
  • As long as your 2020 Jeep Wrangler has a 2" hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856 then yes the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # Y02443 will work just fine. It sounds like you might also be concerned with clearance with your spare tire as well, in order to figure out if it'll clear your spare tire you'll just need to measure from the hitch pin hole out past the spare tire; if that measurement is less than 7" the rack will fit the rack will work when folded up or...

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13048 includes all necessary hardware to attach the hitch to your 1994 Grand Cherokee. It does not include a wiring harness. For a compatible wiring harness, I recommend the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness item # HM42515. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Jeep's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area on the driver's side and passenger's side. To round out your towing setup you will also need the Curt Towing Starter...

  • Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2017 Jeep Renegade
  • The WingBar Evo term is simply the new name for Thule's AeroBlade bars. Both the old and new bars include a top T-Slot channel that allows a second way to attach compatible accessory carriers but their Glide and Set kayak carrier 883 is NOT compatible with either generation of aero bar. I confirmed this with Thule. But we can help you with a nice new silver Thule roof rack and I recommend the Evo Raised Rail system, parts # TH711400 and # TH710401, if you have raised roof rails. These...

  • Why Do Hitch Extenders Reduce Hitch Capacity
  • Hitch extenders like the Kuat # HL20B and similar items # C45791, # C45795 and # HE12 do give you more clearance to install a hitch accessory like the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack # SR2415 but the trouble is these extenders also reduce the hitch's tongue weight (TW) capacity by 50-percent. All adapters like these push the actual weight of the loaded bike rack further away from the hitch and this means the rack's weight will put more stress on the hitch. The extra connection point...

  • Compatibility of Standard 7-Way Trailer Connector with 6 Socket Trailer Connector
  • The Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector # HM42190 is the standard 7-way that should be directly compatible with your photo. You just line up the raised portion of the connector with the cutout of the connector. When you say 6 sockets it makes me think you need adapter # HM47570 but your photo shows me a 7-way that shouldn't require an adapter.

  • Trailer Brake Controller That Can Be Used with Towed Vehicle Braking System
  • A standard trailer brake controller that mounts in the tow vehicle to power trailer brakes cannot interface with a separate supplementary vehicle braking system but there is one product we offer, the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System # HM39530, that combines both a trailer brake controller and a vehicle braking system in one setup. The linked video will give you a recap of the system's components and also its capabilities. This item is a confirmed fit on your 2016 Wrangler.

  • Will the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Portable Braking System Work On a 1997 Jeep TJ
  • Yes, the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR will work just fine on your 1997 Jeep TJ . There shouldn't be any modifications that need to be made but I do recommend using the Seat Stiffener for Blue Ox Patriot Braking Systems part # BRK2503. I spoke with Blue Ox to confirm this. In regards to frequency, the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System operates on a 2.4 GHZ frequency. If this is the same frequency as your backup cameras then you might want to use the Roadmaster...

  • Can Blue Ox Tow Bar Connect to Demco Base Plate Kit
  • Yes, there are adapters that will allow a Blue Ox tow bar to connect to a Demco base plate kit. For that you'd need the part # DM9523034 for if the base plate was a classic or a part # DM9523127 for if it's a tabless like the part # DM9519291 that you referenced.

  • Does The Roadmaster D-Ring Adapters RM-035-1 Work With The etrailer Tow Bar #e74ZR
  • The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR you reference is not compatible with the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mount # RM-035-1. Instead, you'll need to use a Roadmaster tow bar like the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676, which is designed to work with their D-Ring adapter # RM-035-1.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Equipment For A 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK
  • To use the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 to flat tow your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler you'll need to use a Roadmaster crossbar-style base plate like the # RM-521448-4 to connect to. This base plate is only compatible with a standard factory bumper so if you have a different style bumper let me know and I can find the compatible fit. The RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs # RM-643 are a great choice for safety cables, and are my most recommended choice for vehicle's...

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your Jeep Grand Cherokee L's frame with no welding required.

  • Will the Blue Ox Tow Bar Cover Fit a Demco Excali-Bar Tow Bar
  • The Blue Ox Tow Bar Cover # BX88309 is made specifically for the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 and the Blue Ox Ascent # BX4370 tow bars. The Ascent and Avail both measure 42-1/4" when retracted. The Demco Excali-Bar # DM9511013 is 39-1/4" long when retracted. So the Blue Ox Tow Bar Cover # BX88309 would be big enough for your Excali-Bar, you would actually have a little extra room because it is meant for tow bars that are 42-1/4" long.
