The only difference between the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-4 and Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 is the style of the arms. The crossbar style was the original, but Roadmaster has strengthened their products and moved on to the direct-connect style which does not require the use of an additional crossbar. They actually just stopped offering the crossbars with their tow bars last fall as well, since they're no longer needed. With the direct-connect... view full answer...
We do have hitch fabrication parts for the 2016 Ford F-53 Chassis but there are no custom fit front mount receivers available at this time. You would need to a qualified fabricator to have a hitch welded on.
The Buyers Products black receiver tube part # 337RT25818B will get you started. I recommend this one because it has the hitch pin drilled for you already and it's already powder coated for you. I have attached a link for the other fabrication parts for your reference. view full answer...
The towing mirrors I recommend for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited are the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS69ZR. These mirrors are easy to install and will do a great job of providing a wider field of view so you can see your trailer and what's going on around.
You should note they don't make any custom clip-on towing mirrors for the Jeep Wrangler so the above universal type are the only option but they do work great. view full answer...
The Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519336 that you referenced will work perfectly with your Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar as long as you add the Demco Adapter # DM9523127. The adapter is what will allow the tabless base plates to attach to the Avail Tow Bar.
I absolutely agree that the Demco Base Plate Kit offers an extremely clean appearance as there won't be any protruding brackets. I have attached an image of this kit installed on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited that you can check... view full answer...
I checked with our vendor and the etrailer item # e98856 has a 350 lbs tongue weight capacity when installed on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL.
The Draw-Tite item # DT78MR has the highest available tongue weight capacity at 675 lbs. I highly recommend checking with your owner's manual or contacting a Jeep dealership to confirm what your Wrangler JL's actual tongue weight capacity is. The hitch manufacturer's, especially Draw-Tite, over-rate their hitches because they fit many different models... view full answer...
That is a great question. The good news is that consumers are protected by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. This act essentially states that if something were to break or go wrong on your Jeep and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor the warranty regardless of what modifications have been made unless the modification is what caused the issue. Installing an aftermarket wiring harness like the excellent Tekonsha T-One # 118786 yourself that you referenced will... view full answer...
Start off by checking the 6-Way connector at the front of your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. Be sure that none of the wires are touching any wires next to it which would allow power to jump from one circuit to the other.
If that looks good then the next step is to troubleshoot the diodes that come with the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. Since the problem is only happening to one side simply remove the diode on the circuit that is messing up and swap it with one on the other side... view full answer...
We did do an install of the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Spare Tire Rack # MPG2148 on a 2013 Wrangler Unlimited and that is shown in the video I linked for you, but we have not yet had a 2018 JL Wrangler Unlimited here to allow producing a video for that model.
I contacted Malone to ask about the fit of this rack on the 2018 JL. The responded that it fits a tire width up to a 265 size, meaning a tire that is 265 millimeters wide. view full answer...
The Yakima Jetstream roof rack part numbers # Y00425, # Y53TR, and # Y00226 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL and it by itself easily has capacity and bar length to carry two of the assisted Thule Hullavator roof racks part # TH898.
You'll need to check to make sure the hardtop of your Jeep has the capacity for your two kayaks and the weight of each of the Hullavators as well which weighs right at 40 lbs. view full answer...
Since you mentioned your dealer installed wiring on your 2018 Jeep JLU Wrangler, I assume that does mean you have both the 4-Way # 118786 and 7-Way # ETBC7 hooked up. If so, you are ready to go with just a few parts needed to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR.
You mentioned you did not have the plug, but it should be underneath the dash to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal as in the accompanying photo.... view full answer...
So long as the tow hooks are attached to a flat metal section of the bumper on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler you can replace them with the Blue Ox Heavy-Duty Universal Bolt-On Adapter Tabs - 20,000 lbs # BX88266. view full answer...
The only difference between the MORryde Camping Kitchens with Storage Compartment for Jeep Wrangler JLUs is that part # MR45HR comes with no-drill brackets and part # MR83MR comes with no brackets at all so you'd need to make your own. view full answer...
The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR is a fantastic trailer brake controller and is what I recommend for your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited due to it only having the control knob visible which is great to not take up any knee room in your Jeep, and keeps the interior looking unchanged unlike other controllers.
Since your Jeep has the factory tow package you will be able to use the Plug-in adapter # 3073-P you mentioned, but you will also need the Redarc Tow-Pro... view full answer...
The only bike rack solution we offer for your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited will be a hitch rack that can use the Yakima Hitchski part # Y02418. Yakima states that only Yakima bike racks can be used with the Hitchski like the Ridgeback part # Y02458. You'll need a hitch installed on your Jeep which the best option is the Draw Tite part # DT78MR since it sticks out the furthest from the bumper to help fit past the rear bumper. view full answer...
Since your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited doesn't have the factory tow package you will need to start off with 4-Way wiring like the recommended Tekonsha T-One # 118786. Once you have that installed there are a few options for you.
You can either install the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L which only adds 12V power to the 7-Way and allows you to use the Curt Echo # C51180 brake controller with an Apple or Android smart device, or you can install the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 for... view full answer...
Yes, the Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack part # Y02443 and the Yakima HoldUp EVO 2 Bike Rack part # Y02479 will work with the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender part # Y02483. I confirmed this with my contact at Yakima for you. They have tested these together which is why they are able to confirm fit.
The Kuat Pivot Swing Away Hitch Extender part PV20B is no longer available but you could still use the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # NV22B with the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away... view full answer...
The NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger - AC to DC - 6V/12V - 10 Amp # 329-GENIUS10 is a great option for charging your batteries. The way your batteries are connected would be good to know. If they are in true parallel this will work well. If there is a solenoid involved, then your second battery won't receive power unless the ignition is on, so if that is the case you would need to have a second bank connection for a multiple battery charger like # NOC94FR or a complete separate charger. view full answer...
The Dielectric Goo # 11755 is definitely a good idea because it will help prevent your wiring harness from corroding, but if you don't use it that doesn't mean the Curt Wiring Harness # C56407 on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited should fail. These harnesses do connect to your Jeep's tail lights so one of two things are the likely issue. First, the connections aren't being fully seated into the tail light harness so you will want to double-check that connection. The other potential issue... view full answer...
I checked with Thule and the Canyon Cargo Basket part # TH859XT-8591XT that you referenced can fit your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL but you'll have to have the Thule roof rack part numbers # TH712500 and # TH65BJ installed to give the basket something to attach to. view full answer...
In order to use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE part # HLY84FR on your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited you will need to make sure you have at least 7-1/2" from the center of your hitch pin hole to the outer edge of your spare tire. The factory trailer hitch has a rather recessed hitch pin hole so you might be able to gain more clearance by installing the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT78MR which measures 1" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge... view full answer...
