  • Is There a Chart For Inflating Firestone Air Bags F2286
  • Thanks so much for the purchase from etrailer of the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Bags # F2286! There is not a chart of any kind, no. You really do just have to toy around with the air pressure to find the right setting (which is admittedly a bit of a pain). But it does sound like you may be inflating them too much, as too much pressure can lead to a stiffer ride and some bouncing. So I'd try backing off the psi a bit, maybe 5 psi at a time, until you find the setting that's best for your ride.

  • Determining If Swagman Current Bike Rack S64678 Fits 2018 Jeep JK W/ 37 Spare Tire
  • The Swagman Current Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # S64678 is a great rack and determining if it will fit your application is a tough one. There are two variables to the equation with your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited. While that is a large tire there is a chance it will still work. The first thing to consider is the hitch type and the tire width. Some hitches for the JKU have pin holes that stick further out from under the bumper than others do. There can be as much as 3.5"...

  • Best 4-Bike Bike Rack for Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
  • Yes the Kuat NV 2.0 4-Bike Platform Rack # NV22B-NA22B will fit your Jeep Wrangler Rubicons's 2" hitch. The maximum weight the bike rack can carry with 4 bikes loaded is 160 lbs. A combined maximum weight of 242 lbs Including the weight of the bike rack of 82 lbs would be below a 2" hitch maximum weight rating. With the Rubicon package you may run into clearance issues with the spare tire when folding the bike rack up. When the bike rack is folded up the closest point is 7" away from...

  • Compatibility of Roadmaster RM-035-1 D-Ring Adapters with Nighthawk Tow Bar
  • The Roadmaster # RM-035-1 D-ring adapters are indeed compatible with a Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar. However, because you aren't using traditional base plates, you might have difficulty finding a good spot to attach the safety cables. In this situation, Roadmaster recommends using extensions like # RM-910648-20. You'd want to wrap the extension around the frame members just behind the bumper then attach to the safety cables. If you decide to use the tow bar for a different vehicle,...

  • Correct Front Hitch Model for my 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JKU Polar Edition
  • Since we know your Polar Edition 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited uses the standard front bumper the Draw Tite front hitch part # 65069 or the Curt part # 31432 would fit and work well. The larger wheel diameter would not be an issue at all.

  • Though we do not have an adapter specially designed for the ARB bumper on your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited, the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets part # BX88357 may still work for you. This adapter is designed to work with a 3/4" tabs with 7/8" diameter pins. They are compatible with the Blue Ox Aladdin, Alpha, and Aventa LX tow bars.

  • All Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited Sahara With Standard Bumper
  • Along with a wiring loom there are a number of different parts that are needed in order to flat tow your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK Sahara with a standard factory bumper, which I'll list for you to make it a little simpler: - Base Plate Kit: etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98949 - Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e94ZR - Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 - Supplemental Braking System: Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking...

  • Will 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975-11933 Fit a 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited
  • 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975-11933 will fit your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK as long as it has the factory tow package. I am assuming that it does since it came with a 4-Way connector but it would be worth asking the dealer if it is equipped with the factory tow package. They can usually just run the VIN in their computer system to determine how a vehicle is equipped. If it does not have the factory tow package then to add a 7-Way you will need # ETBC7. I have included...

  • Will D-Ring Adapters Fit a 2018 Wrangler JK Unlimited Freedom Edition for Flat Towing Behind an RV
  • For D-ring adapters # RM-035 you have to go by what they fit. First measure the D-ring mounts on the bumper. If they are 3/4 inches fit then the adapters will fit around them. Next measure the diameter of the hole in one of the D-ring mounts. If the hole is either 7/8 inch or 1 inch in diameter you can use these adapters. But you also have to check with Jeep or the bumper manufacturer to determine if the bumper is rated for flat towing. Not all of them are. Assuming everything will work...

  • Yes the Saris Freedom part # SA4414B will work great with the frame styles of the Townie bikes that you have! The Saris Freedom does a great job securing bikes frames of different shapes and sizes.

  • Does Pollak Trailer Connector Work With Electric Brake Controller on 2018 Jeep Wrangler?
  • The Pollak 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975-11933 will absolutely work with a brake controller. This will replace the 7-way on your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited with factory tow package. As for a brake controller itself, I strongly recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195; it is the most popular model we carry due to its effectiveness and ease of use. It will activate your trailer's brakes immediately in proportion to your Jeep's brakes and offers three different boost levels...

  • Determining If B&W Continuum Weight Distribution Will Fit Behind a 2018 Jeep Wrangler
  • Yes, you will be able to use the B&W Continuum Weight Distribution System # BW78FR with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT78MR on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler. When we installed the receiver on your model year Jeep we found the hitch pin hole to be roughly 6" in front of the rear edge of the spare tire. The shank on the B&W is 11-3/8" from the hitch pin center to the ball mount center. This will place the ball center roughly 5-3/8" behind the spare tire which is going to be...

  • Recovery Board Mount Options For The Rhino-Rack SG Roof Rack Crossbars
  • The Rhino-Rack Recovery Track Flat Carrier # RR43235 is designed to connect to the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars # RR42114BF using the track rack system, which the Rhino-Rack Vortex SG do not have. Instead, you'll have to mount the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Rack # RR42114BF to your Rhino-Rack SG Roof Rack for Rain Gutters - Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRSG59, which you then can mount the Rhino-Rack Recovery Track Flat Carrier # RR43235.

  • Can 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited Tailgate Swing Open with Slide-Out Cargo Carrier Installed
  • The Lets Go Aero Slide-Out Cargo Carrier # H01472 measures 29 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest art of the carrier when it is slid all the way out. This will allow you to open the rear tail gate of your 2018 Jeep Wrangler a decent amount but is probably not enough for it to swing all the way open.

  • Can the Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket Carry 5 Gallons of Gasoline?
  • The Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket - 19" Long x 43" Wide # SPSJ4319 has a 100 lb capacity so it absolutely can carry your 5 gallon can of gas. This carrier however is not intended for off-road use, so if used in that capacity you will be operating outside of the warranty and you will want to make sure the weight is as centered as possible to reduce torque on the shaft and mount. I recommend using the Erickson Roof-Rack Cargo Net - 36" x 48" # EM01010 for loose items and tie down...
