Expert Answers about Jeep Wrangler


  • Is a Supplemental Braking System Needed When Flat Towing a 1993 Jeep Wrangler
  • To flat tow your 1993 Jeep Wrangler you will need a Tow Bar, Safety Cables, a Base Plate Kit, Vehicle Tow Bar Lighting, and most likely a Supplemental Braking System and High-Low Adapter. If you are talking about using a Supplemental Braking System for flat towing your Jeep then I highly recommend it. Not only does it make your flat towing setup more safe, but it is also a requirement in most states. You can check the rules for flat towing in any states that you will be passing through...

  • Will The TireMinder A1AS Sensors Still Work On My Smartphone With No Service?
  • No, the TireMinder A1AS TPMS for RVs and Trailers w/ Signal Booster # TM79FR uses Bluetooth to connect the tire sensors to your smart phone. This will allow for your smartphone to still be able to give you alerts without phone service. We do have additional Signal Boosters # VAL29RB, Brass Sensors # TM-2Brass, and Aluminum Sensors # TM-2ALUM if you have multiple vehicles or trailers you want to use the TireMinder system on. Remember the aluminum sensors must be used with aluminum valve...

  • How to Lower Front Receiver of 2013 Jeep Wrangler for Use with SnowSport Snow Plow
  • Blue Ox offers a High-Low Adapter, part # BX88235 that might work for you if getting a 3 inch drop in the receiver would put you below the 16 inch maximum receiver height. This isn't an inexpensive solution, but the adapter has a huge weight capacity that will be needed to withstand the battering it will receive when used with a plow. Keep in mind that the adapter cannot be used for towing a trailer.

  • Falcon 2 Tow Bars Lock Up and Are Difficult To Remove When Disconnecting From Vehicle
  • Yes, the arms of the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 will extend and lock into position when you start pulling your vehicle. The bars can often be difficult to release when you go to disconnect the tow bars from the towed vehicle when you get to your site. Often times you will need to either physically push the towed vehicle forwards and back to get the release pin to disconnect or use a RoadMaster Release Tool # RM-066 to get the pin to drop. The best option is to step up to the...

  • Aries Grille Guard Mounting Brackets for 1998 Jeep Wrangler
  • Aries doesn't offer a Grille Guard for a 1998 Wrangler, so there wouldn't be a bracket kit either. Not only are the brackets vehicle specific, but the grille guards are as well. The good news is that Rampage and Bestop offer some grille guard options. For the Tubular Style, look at part # B4490601 or a full coverage Euro Style, check out the # RA7659.

  • Firmness of the Denver Mattress Supreme Hybrid RV Mattress w/ Euro Top
  • The manufacturer does not have a scale or number system created that they use. However, the Denver Mattress Supreme Hybrid RV Mattress w/ Euro Top, # DE97RR relative to other Denver Mattresses, is one of the firmest and it offers a lot of support. The Euro top design helps distribute your weight across the surface of the mattress, alleviating the pressure points of your shoulders, hips, and knees.

  • Can Umbilical Between Motorhome and Flat Towed Vehicle Be Used to Charge Vehicle Battery
  • You can certainly do that. You'll want to be sure to wire the pin on the vehicle side to correspond with the 12-v power supply pin on the 6-way motorhome trailer connector however. Some 6-ways use the center pin as the brake controller output, some use it as the 12-volt power feed, so you'll want to ensure both sides are wired the same way. Roadmaster offers a purpose-built circuit protected kit for this, part # RM-156-25. Keep in mind that the circuit is capable of providing a maintenance...

  • Can 2019 Jeep Wrangler Use Hardwired 4-Flat Wiring Harness
  • Yes, you can use the Hopkins Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # HM48035 on your 2019 Jeep Wrangler if you want to hardwire a 4-flat, though I do recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118786 which fits your '19 Jeep and includes a power module connected to your battery. This is important because you won't overload your electrical system with this harness, something that will protect your Jeep in a way the Hopkins harness cannot....

  • Can I Cut The Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks To Fit My 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack RTC-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Channel Mount - 31-1/4" Long - Qty 2, part # RRRTC8JWMY11, can be cut to a shorter length. The tracks will need to be cut in a straight line and the endcap will need to be taken off the end you cut and placed on the end of the now shorter roof track. We do not have a replacement part for the end cap so please be careful when you are cutting the roof tracks. I have included a product description link and a video review link below.

  • Can The Let's Go Aero Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Locks Be Ordered Keyed Alike
  • The Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches # 63232 and others with this same design unfortunately do not come with a keyed alike option so you would have to get regular hitch pin locks that can be keyed alike, like the etrailer # e98882 (2-5/8") or # e98881 (3-5/8"), and then use an anti-rattle hitch stabilizer like part # e99007.

  • How Much Does Weight of Towed Vehicle Affect Gas Mileage in Motorhome
  • You ask an interesting question. I do not know of any formalized chart or table that can capture all of the variables in play in your flat towing comparison. Apart from the vehicles' weight difference there are many other factors in play, such as wind resistance due to differing profiles (although they are pretty close to one another in this respect) and tire tread pattern, tread wear and inflation level. In the simplest terms, if you ignore all of the other factors that could make a...

  • Can I Flat-Tow My 1995 Jeep Wrangler w/ Aftermarket Front Bumper
  • The item you selected, Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit, part # 1409-1, will fit 1987-1995 Jeeps with a u-channel bumper only. You would need to install a factory u-channel bumper on your Jeep to attach a base plate kit. The Roadmaster Base Plate # 1409-1 attaches to the bumper of the Jeep Wrangler which is why the u-channel bumper is required. We do not have a base plate kit available that will work with an aftermarket bumper on your Jeep Wrangler. There are quick disconnects available...
