Expert Answers about Jeep Wrangler Unlimited


  • Weight Distribution Shank Recommendation for Needing Hitch Drop of 10 inch
  • The Curt shank part # C17124 can do up to a 9-1/2 inch drop when used with a round bar setup like your Fastway E2 round bar weight distributions system. The next largest drop we have would be the Curt shank part # C17125 which can do a drop of up to 16-1/4 inches which may be a bit too extreme.

  • How Does Blue Ox Patriot Braking System Get Power on Vehicle That Battery Must Disconnect
  • In some situations the battery needs to get disconnected from the vehicle to flat tow it so an outlet kit # RM-9332 gets ran from the battery directly to the vehicle interior which is then how the Patriot # BLU37TR would get it's power. I attached a review video for this system for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 255/75-17 Tires on a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • If you are only using the chains for on-road applications with your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited then I recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2326 because they use square links in a diamond pattern for the best traction out there. These chains are also Class S compatible so you won't ever have to worry about clearance issues. For off-road applications you will want something a little more heavy-duty on your 255/75-17 size tires. In this case I recommend the Titan Chain Snow...

  • The Curt weight distribution shank part # C17123 would be a great option for you. This shank fits Reese systems and it extends about 4 more inches down below what your current shank does. I attached a review video for this shank for you to check out as well.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • For a base plate kit confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you would want the # RM-521448-4 which is a confirmed fit.

The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Basket for 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Hard Top
  • We do have a large selection of roof cargo baskets that will work great on your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited but first you will indeed need to add a roof rack system with crossbars to support the carrier. For this I recommend the Thule Square Bar Rack because it will provide you with a sturdy system (165 pound weight capacity) and a rugged appearance that looks great on Jeep Wranglers. This system consists of # TH712500 for the two 60 inch Square Load Bars and # TH65JV for the Gutter...

  • Do I Need A Weight Distribution System To Tow A 2400lb Camper With My 2012 Jeep Wrangler?
  • Anytime your gross trailer weight is more than 50% of your vehicle's weight or if the rear of your vehicle sags when the trailer is hooked up you will want to use a weight distribution hitch. Since your camper weighs 2400lbs and is more than 50% of your 2012 Jeep Wrangler's estimated curb weight of 3760lbs, it is definitely recommended to use a weight distribution system. I recommend going with Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 4,500 lbs GTW, 450 lbs TW...

  • Is It Okay if Roadmaster NightHawk Tow Bar Light Strip is Partially Lit Up
  • So LED diodes do not take much amperage at all to activate. If there's any circuit bleed through on the circuit the LED will partially light up. This is why the lights of the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676 are activating partially. It won't harm anything for it to do this, but if you want it to go away easiest solution is to unplug the tow bar lighting.

  • Replacement Adapter Wiring For Mopar Flat Towing Harness On a 2019 Jeep Wrangler
  • I do have one suggestion as we do not carry that Mopar specific harness. I recommend the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7. For me this is a better route to go as the connections will be much easier attached and removed from your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited when you are setting it up for towing or removing it from tow. The coiled electrical cable will also allow for the wiring to sit higher while towing and will be less likely to drag on the ground and become damaged....

  • Does the Blue Ox Patriot Press Hard Enough to Activate Brakes of Vehicle Turned Off
  • The Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR operates the brakes of your 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara just fine. This product applies enough force to the brake pedal that the brakes of your Jeep will apply adequately. The brakes of a vehicle still work when the engine is off, without the vacuum assist feature the brake pedal does get harder but if you press hard enough the brakes will still apply. The Patriot presses hard enough to still apply the brakes. The couple times you can still get the...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 75th Anniversary
  • Yes, we do have a hitch that will fit your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 75th Anniversary edition. You can use Draw-Tite trailer hitch # DT78MR which has been confirmed to fit the 75th Anniversary models with the special bumper by customers who have purchased the hitch. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8...

  • Will The Malone Hanger Spare Tire Bike Rack Fit My 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
  • This all comes down to how wide your spare tire is. If your spare tire width on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is between 8 and 10-1/2 inches then you will be able to use the Malone Spare Tire Bike Carrier # MPG2147. Another option you have is getting this hitch receiver # e98856 which is SUPER simple to install. You can then use the Swagman Trailhead 3 # S63365 but you may need to get a hitch extender # C45791. This will cut your hitches capacity in half but since the Trailhead is only...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • You will need to get a tow bar setup confirmed to fit your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited as the part # 521440-1B you mentioned would not fit. For that you would want the # RM-521448-4 as long as you have a factory bumper. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design...

  • Fat Bike Rack Recommendation for 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited w/35in Spare Tire
  • The Hollywood Racks Hitch Bike Racks # HLY84FR, that you are interested in measures 7-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest wheel hoop so it would not have enough clearance to clear your spare. Since you are looking for a platform bike rack to carry fat bikes your best option would be the Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH23JV.

  • 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for Towing
  • For a trailer as light as your a weight distribution system would not really be needed. If your tongue weight is going to be 150-200 lbs you would be looking at a pretty light trailer. I also couldn't find any definitive information on whether a WD system could be used on a Wrangler like yours. I pulled up the owners manual for your vehicle and there was not mention of weight distribution there at all. If you were to experience any sag while towing the SumoSprings part # SSR-401-47 would...
