Expert Answers about Jeep Grand Cherokee


  • Trailer Brake Controller For A 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • I would not be able to tell you what breaking system is on your 2011 Damon Daybreak motorhome, you should be able to give the manufacturer or the dealer a call and they would be able to help you. For your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR. This brake controller is easy to use, and installs out of the way getting rid of the standard bulk of regular brake controllers. If you do not have the factory tow package, you're going...

  • Sway Control for Raised Tandem Axle Trailer that has Weight Distribution
  • Short of replacing the weight distribution you already have to one that includes sway control the Curt True Course Electronic Sway Control System # C94VV is a great choice. Since it can be installed virtually anywhere on your trailer, and is so easy to install, it makes it extremely versatile. It uses a gyroscope to sense movement in the trailer and applies the trailer's brakes when necessary to keep it in line with your Jeep.

  • What Tie Downs Can I Use With The Yakima LockNLoad # Y05044
  • The Ladder Pegs for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars - 3" Tall # RSLP will not fit in the tracks of the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Tray # Y05044, but I have something similar that you can use with the LockNLoad. The Ladder Pegs are made to fit in the rhino rack heavy duty crossbars # RB1375B-2. You can use the Yakima Eye Bolts # Y01162 with the lock in load on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo & Does Battery Need Disconnecting

So that will alleviate any of the issues, and in order to flat tow your '20 Grand Cherokee Laredo you will need the following: - Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit #...

  • What All Is Needed To Install The Thule WingBar Evo On My 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
  • I will start by saying the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long # TH711420 are indeed the correct crossbars for your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so you are 1/3 of the way to a full roof rack already. You are also correct in that you will need a few more parts to get them attached to those black and chrome bars on your roof. This is actually a very quick and easy process though, as there are fixed mounting points on these bars. With that said, the Fit Kit # THKIT3142...

  • Trailer Suspension Lift Kit for 2017 Airstream Sport 22 Single Axle Travel Trailer
  • A bolt-on axle over-under kit like # K71-384-00 and # K71-385-00 will typically give your trailer between 4 and 5-inches of lift. The exact amount of lift depends on the axle diameter and the height of the leaf spring stack. Lift will be the sum of the axle diameter plus the height of the spring stack. Kit # K71-385-00 works for axles with 3-inch diameter Installing an axle over-under lift kit on a trailer is not a complex job but it does require the right safety equipment to avoid risk...

  • Trailer Brake Controller on a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee does not come with a brake controller with its tow packages. You will need to add one. I recommend the Tekonsha Primus IQ, part # TK90160. It's a proportional controller for 1 - 3 axles. It has automatic leveling and built-in battery protection. With continuous diagnostic checks, it's one of our most highly-rated brake controllers. Combine this with the wiring adapter, part # TK93VR. This will make it much easier to set up the controller. It plugs into the...

  • Will The Malone AirFlow2 Rubbing Stripping Fit The OMAC Crossbars On My 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The Replacement Rubber Strip for Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack Crossbars # MAL63TR are designed to fit the Malone Airflow2 roof rack crossbars. I measured one of our Malone Aero crossbars and found out that the T-bolt slot measures out to be 1/4 inch x 13/16 inch with a top opening measuring 7/16 inches. With yours being 7/16 inches x 1/2 inches you will have to modify the strip for it to fit properly. We will not have a direct fitting rubber strip available for your OMAC crossbars.
