Expert Answers about Jeep TJ


  • Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for Flat Towing 2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ
  • Most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. If you want to go with a permanent install style I recommend the Air Force One # SM99243 again. It's the best system to use on a coach with air brakes. A lot of the other systems...

  • If you have the Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar part # 63180 which is made by Draw-Tite and the only one that I am aware of then you do not need a base plate kit for this as the brackets will bolt/weld directly onto the front bumper assuming it is steel.

  • How To Hook Up a Coleman Road Trip Grill to a Quick Disconnect Port On Trailer
  • Correct, in order to attach a propane accessory to the quick disconnect port on a trailer that accessory must be unregulated as the quick disconnect ports on trailers are already run through the main propane regulator. If the propane grill has a built-in regulator which most do then you will need to tee into the propane supply before it reaches the regulator with the MB Sturgis Sturgi-Stay T-Fitting part # 103613-MBS. The MB Sturgis Quick Disconnect Propane Hose for Small Appliance part...

  • Both the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness # 118409 and the Hopkins Plug-N-Tow Wiring Harness # 42615 will work on your 2000 Jeep TJ Wrangler Sport.

The connectors are located under the Jeep, behind the rear bumper. The white ground wire will need to be attached to a good,clean ground on the vehicles metal frame. The...

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  • We have great options for tow mirrors that do fit your 2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ but we do not have any custom fit options like the CIPA you mentioned which does not fit your Jeep. Instead you'd want the Universal Mirror, # WM6600-2, since this mounts to the front door of the vehicle and none of the clip on styles we offer would work.

  • Attaching Roadmaster BlackHawk All Terrain Tow Bar with Blue Ox Collars to EZ5 Base Plates
  • I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster regarding your original BlackHawk All Terrain Tow Bar with the Blue Ox specific collars. She stated that the Replacement Swivel Collar # RM-9200-6 that you are looking at is exactly what you need to make your existing tow bar and the EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521424-5 compatible with each other. These collars will simply replace the Blue Ox collars on the tow bar so that it works with any Roadmaster base plates.
