Expert Answers about Jeep Wrangler


  • How Does The Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit Get Installed On A 2017 Jeep Wrangler?
  • To install the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200 on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler, you'll plug the female end of the harness into the existing male connector from your taillight, and then the other male end of # HM56200 will get plugged into the taillight. So since you have a 4-way that uses the same plug, then it does not matter which one goes first or second. I have included an installation video on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler for you to check out as well.

  • Is Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit Needed With Roadmaster Invisibrake
  • Appreciate the purchase of the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. And as far as the trickle charge, the InvisiBrake does provide up to a 2 amp charge on your battery if the running lights are on, so if the running lights are always on, you don't need the BrakeBuddy Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit # BB54FR. If your running lights (often activated by headlights) are going to be off at any point though, the charge line kit is something you'll want to use.

  • Installing a Brake Controller on a 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  • Your brake controller will need to be hardwired. We offer an Brake Controller Install Kit, part # ETBC6 for a 6-way connector, or part # ETBC7 for a 7-way. The install kit includes everything necessary for installing the controller, except for the T-1 connector needed to tap into the Jeeps lighting circuits. We have a Brake Controller Install Guide on the website that you might find helpful. I will provide a link below.

  • Does the Pavement Ends Emergency Top Cover the Windows on a 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  • Since your Jeep does not have windows and the cover, # PE5681201, does not have anything that comes down to cover the opening, there is nothing to cover that opening. The solution here is to add some windows to your Jeep. I have included a link to the upper door options we carry for your 2006 Jeep Wrangler. I have also linked the installation instructions for the cover.

  • Does Air Lift Suspension Kit for 2015 Ford F-250 Need Exhaust Sensor Relocation Bracket
  • The Air Lift kits for your 2015 Ford F-250 diesel, like part # AL57596, does not need the location bracket like the Firestone kits do. The installation instructions of the Air Lift kit state: If necessary, disconnect the wiring harness from the driver’s (left) side frame rail to gain clearance for the upper brace (Fig. D.4). Also, push out the harness connector that holds the electrical lines going to the gas/DEF tank in or out of the tank bracket. This will improve socket/bolt access...

  • Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit for 2012 Wrangler
  • The Curt Custom Base Plate Kit, # C38FR is a confirmed fit to your 2012 Jeep Wrangler but it does not appear that your older style Demco ExcaliBar tow bar will mate to it without purchasing additional adapters. And yes the bumper will need to be removed for installation. I suggest you go with a matching brand base plate to your already existing tow bar, such as the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit, # DM9519292.

  • Locations That the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System Can Be Mounted
  • When mounting the control box for the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 in your 2006 Jeep Wrangler, under the drivers seat is a popular option. However, sometimes this is not practical due to space or other circumstances. But the beauty of the InvisiBrake is that the control box can be mounted anywhere and can even be mounted vertically or upside down. I have included two different installation videos of the # RM-8700. They are not the exact same Wrangler as...

  • How Well Does the Battery Isolation Solenoid, # TR118665 Perform
  • The Battery Isolation Solenoid, # PK5231201, will be installed on the vehicle that is doing the towing. If you are flat towing the 2011 Jeep Wrangler, then the battery isolator will be installed on the vehicle that is towing it. If the Wrangler is doing the towing, it will installed in the Wrangler. The isolator works well. We have not had any comments that would indicate poor performance. It is a very simple design. One line goes in from the vehicle battery to one of the side terminals,...

  • Installing Roadmaster Flexo-Coil Wiring on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JL
  • According to my research you can use the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 for your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon but I don't believe you will connect to the same color wires as shown in the linked video for this kit on a 2017 Wrangler Unlimited. From what I could find I believe that the running light should be a white and gray wire on your driver's side but a white and orange wire on the passenger side. The stop/turn signals should be found on the yellow wire for the driver's side and the...

  • Winch Mounted To Plate For 2 Inch Receiver Compatible With Class III Hitch
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate # C31010 is not rated for line pull. That rating would be specific to your trailer hitch. Front mounted hitches are often rated in this way but rear mounted hitches are not. I would need to know your specific winch as well as your trailer hitch receiver being used to determine the compatibility.

  • Is the Brake Light Relay Needed when Installing Invisi-Brake on a 2012 Jeep Wrangler
  • There are a lot of caveats for when the brake light relay # RM-88400 is needed or not needed. But we have taken the guess work out for you. The relay is required on the 2012 Jeep Wranglers. If you turn the key to the position it is supposed to be in for flat towing (consult the vehicle owner's manual) that is the position of the key you would use to test whether or not the brake lights come on.

  • How To Attach Curt Replacement OEM USCAR Trailer Connector to 4-Way Harness on Jeep Wrangler
  • In order to use the Curt Replacement OEM USCAR Trailer Connector part # C42JR you'll need a harness like the Tow Ready Replacement 7-Way Harness part # 20147 which will then wire onto the existing trailer harness. For example, if you have a 2019 Jeep Wrangler you'd need to use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118786. The trailer connector on the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness would be removed and then attached to the Tow Ready Replacement 7-Way Harness. There will be extra wires for...

  • Can 4 Pole On The Back 1994 Jeep Wrangler Be Used To Proved Taillight Functions When Flat Towing
  • The 4 pole plug on the back of your 1994 Jeep Wrangler is intended for lights on a trailer. If you are wanting to provide lighting to your Jeep while it is being towed I recommend Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154. This kit provides the diodes for the taillights on the Jeep, wiring from the diodes to the front of the Jeep with the 4 pole end, the 4 pole umbilical and the 4 pole end to be wired into the motor home. I have provided a link to a video to help walk...

  • Will The Hollywood Racks SR2 Bike Carrier Interfere With My Backup Camera On My 2016 Jeep Wrangler?
  • Spare tire bike racks like the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount # HRSR1 that you mentioned, will require you to have to remove your backup camera for installation. The only way around this is to use a hitch mounted bike rack like the: -Kuat Beta Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Trailer Hitches # B202-2. If you don't have a hitch already, you can use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98856. The Kuat Beta bike rack has a maximum carrying capacity of 40-lbs per bike,...

  • Forgetting to Turn Stay-In-Play DUO Braking System Off Before Driving Vehicle
  • I spoke with my contact at Demco and you can rest easy because he said accidentally leaving the switch on for the Stay-In-Play DUO Braking System # SM99251 while driving the vehicle isn't going to cause any actual harm to the system or the Jeep. Really the only potential issue is one you would have noticed anyway. If you happen to have the in-cab LED indicator wired to the brake light circuit it would have illuminated every time you applied the brakes while driving the Jeep. This probably...

  • How Do I Separate the Trailer Connector Socket from the Mounting Bracket After Performing a Test Fit
  • In order to separate the Pollak Trailer Connector Socket and Mounting Bracket, # PK11898, you will need to slide the grey clip toward the wiring. This clip can also be removed if needed. Then you will need to press down on the black clip, which was in the center of the grey clip, while pulling on the mounting bracket. I am attaching a quick video to demonstrate.

  • Installation Assistance With Mounting Hole Dimensions Optronics GLOLight LED Stop/Turn/Tail Light
  • To install the Optronics GLOLight LED # STL101RMB you will also need grommet # A45GB. There are two mounting options for this LED light. The first one is using Optronics grommet # A45GB and mounting directly into your 1998 Jeep Wrangler. The other option is using the Optronics Mounting Bracket # BK45BB. If you decide to use the mounting bracket, you will still need the grommet as well. If you are mounting using the grommet only the grommet opening is 4-1/2 inches. When cutting this...

  • Installation of Roadmaster Brake Lite Relay on 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK for Supplemental Braking System
  • The SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251 when used on your 2016 Jeep JK will override the turn signal on your Jeep so you will need to add the # RM-88400 relay Kit. I've attached a couple of videos to help. It will be slightly easier to install the relay kit first simply because less parts are installed, but you wouldn't hurt anything installing in the other order.
