  • Custom fit strap on mirrors like the Rampage # RA8605 only fit up through the 2018 models.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution/Sway Control System for Tear Trailer Towed by 2018 Jeep Wrangler
  • Although the Reese # 83660 friction sway unit you'd looked at would work with many different weight distribution systems as kind of a stand-alone or add-on, I'd recommend using a true combined sway control/weight distribution system like the # FA92-00-0450 e2 from Fastway. This system is very effective on trailers with tongue weights up to 450 lbs which would be perfect for your teardrop camper, providing both weight distribution to eliminate any sag in the rear suspension of the Jeep...

  • Recommended E-Bike Rack for 2018 Jeep JL with 35" Spare Tire
  • In order to find a suitable bike rack for a vehicle with rear spare tire you'll need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside edge of the rear spare tire. This can then be used to determine compatibility as we list the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack on most of our bike racks. The Swagman Current Bike Rack part # S64678 is a good option and measures 12-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a Forest River R-Pod 178/180
  • The weight distribution system I recommend for a Forest River R-Pod 178/180 is the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System part # RP66072 which offers some of the best sway control available on the market. It is also offered without the shank which will be crucial for applications where the tow vehicle is lifted since most systems which comes with shanks won't accommodate a lifted tow vehicle. In order to choose the correct shank you really need to measure (see article below) but the Reese...

  • Recommendation For Hitch Extender To Carry Thule Apex Bike Rack With 2018 Jeep Rubicon JL
  • Before I can recommend a hitch extension, I need to find out the actual extension needed. You will need to measure from the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of your spare tire to see how much length is needed for clearance of your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. You will then need to determine the clearance needed by your bike rack by measuring the distance from center of hitch pin hole to the closest part of the bike rack. The difference is the extension size that you need (see article)....

  • I do have options for you but they do not make a plug and play flat-tow wiring harness for your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited at this time (July 2018). However, that is not to say that there will not be one in the future as it is a relatively new vehicle therefore, I recommend using the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights part # TL21RK until a plug and play flat-tow wiring harness is available for your vehicle. The Magnetic Tow Lights are an excellent option for nearly every vehicle. They...

  • Recommended Options for 3,500 lb Trailer Axles With Lift
  • For the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle # ASR35HDS02 there is not a fit for the 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-9UC3-EZ is the correct fit along with the brake assemblies # AKEBRK-7-SA.

  • Availability of Brake Controller Harness for 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
  • I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha regarding your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. At this time, there is not currently a Plug-In Brake Controller Harness available for this model Jeep. He was not sure if the JL model is even equipped with a factory port that a plug-in harness would connect to. You can check beneath the dash of your Jeep to see if one is present. Your only option right now will be to simply hardwire a brake controller to your Jeep. If you do not already have a trailer...

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
  • 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.
