  • How To Remove the Panel to Get to the Brake Controller Port on a 2018 Jeep Cherokee
  • The panel under the driver dash of your 2018 Jeep Cherokee that will need to be removed in order to install a brake controller like the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller part # TK90160 is held in with a single screw.

I have attached a photo of this for you that I took myself on a coworker's...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2015 Jeep Cherokee and 6x10 Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  • For your 2015 Jeep Cherokee and 6x10 trailer with 900 lb tongue weight, the way you determine fit is based on the total tongue weight which also adds any cargo behind your rear axle to your loaded trailer tongue weight. Then you want a system that has that total tongue weight in the middle of its range. Based on your tongue weight of 900 lbs which I assume is the loaded weight, adding a little for any cargo behind the rear axle of your Cherokee, the most popular option is the Equal-i-zer...

  • Roof Rack and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude with Raised Roof Rails
  • For your 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude with raised roof rails the Thule Aeroblade Edge roof rack part number # TH7501B-TH7502B is a confirmed fit and would be my recommendation. I like the aero shape of these and the fact that they do not extend past the feet of the rack. This allows the least amount of wind resistance and looks really nice as well. The Thule Portage Canoe Carrier part # TH819 would then be a great carrier for the canoe. It comes with straps as well.

  • How To Flat-Tow a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Using a Pickup Truck
  • I do have an option for you but I am not aware of any way to flat-tow a vehicle using a front mount trailer hitch as there would be no way for the wheels to track properly. The most cost effective option we have for you to attach the Cherokee to your pickup is with the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms part # C19745. If you don't have a steel bumper on your Jeep to attach this tow bar then you will need to remove the bumper and then attach this to the vehicle's core support. In...

  • Is Converter Needed for 2019 Jeep Cherokee Being Flat Towed by Motorhome With Separate Wiring
  • Since your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited has combined wiring, if your Fleetwood Bounder does have separate wiring for its brakes and turn signals, you will need to use the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter # RM-732 when installing the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 on your Cherokee. However, please keep in mind some motorhomes have combined signals that are separated at the tow vehicle wiring so you will want to verify this with your motorhome manufacturer. Along...

  • Extremely Loud Wind Noise With Rhino Rack Square Bars on 2014 Jeep Cherokee
  • The Rhino Rack Euro Bars setup for the 2014 Jeep Cherokee naked roof is a square bar system that is now obsolete. Since square bars are not aerodynamic, they can create a lot of wind noise. To reduce the wind noise on this style of bars, a lot of our customers use a wind fairing to allow the wind to bounce off of the bar instead of whistling through it. For that I recommend Rhino-Rack Fairing for Roof Racks part # RRRF2 which will help the wind noise. The best option is to switch out the...

  • Blue Ox Patriot or Stay In Play DUO Supplemental Braking for Flat Towing 2015 Jeep Cherokee
  • If you know you are going to be trading in your 2015 Jeep Cherokee at some point I would recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR instead. The Patriot installs very easily and works just as good as the DUO. If it were me that is the route I would go with. I attached an install video for both kits for you to check out to see what the install would be like. The downside to the Patiot would be that it removes from the vehicle everytime you get down flat towing it, but it's not difficult...

  • Turn Signals Intermittently Working While Running Lights And Tail Lights Work
  • If the signals are trying to draw more power when in function, but are only working intermittently, I would first check the ground contact point. This will be the white wire from the converter box. Make sure you have a clean, maybe even bare metal surface to give you a solid ground connection. You can use a little sand paper to remove any paint or coating to this surface that might hinder a quality connection when grounding. Also look for any possible kinks or bends in the power from...

  • Recommended 12 Volt Outlet Kit For Brake Pro Wireless System
  • If you have a new Brake Pro you would have the wireless transmitter and receiver in the package, but I have a solution that will work great for you. I recommend the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, part # RM-9332. This is a kit that bypasses the cigarette lighter in the vehicle by attaching to the battery directly. It has a plug on the other end and you plug the Brake Pro into that.

  • Recommended Vent Cover for 2009 Gulfstream Innsbruck Trailer
  • In order to determine the correct roof vent, measure where the vent opens. The standard trailer roof vent opening is roughly 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" and have roof vents that measure 14" x 14". To pick the correct cover, you will also need to know the type of hinge you need. There is a 3 point hinge, such as the one on the Camco # CAM40153; a 4 point hinge as seen on the Camco # CAM40154; or a rolled metal continuous hinge like on the Ventline # BVD0449-A03; and universal hinge as shown on...
