  • How to Flat Tow a 2002 Jeep Wrangler with Double Tube Front Bumper

  • DeeZee Nerf Bar Recommendation for a 1989 Jeep Wrangler with Lift
  • The DeeZee Nerf Bars part # DZ371401 that you referenced mount to the factory body mounts of your 1989 Jeep Wrangler. The brackets that attach the body of your Jeep to the frame are the brackets that are used. To see about where they would sit in relation to your door frame you would want to measure from the body mount brackets on your jeep to the bottom of your door frame. This bar set should work well with your lift kits as well.

  • Which Base Plate Kit For 2003 Jeep Wrangler is Compatible With Curt Tow Bar?
  • I may have an option for you, but the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM-521424-5 is not compatible with any Curt tow bars and there are no adapters to make the connection. The Roadmaster baseplate kits use a different design of attachment that is quite a bit different than the Curt tow bars. If the Curt tow bar you have is the Curt Rambler # C26FR you will be able to use Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # BX1120 which is confirmed to fit your 2003 Jeep Wrangler. If the Curt tow bar you...

  • Adapter that Could be Used with Warn Bumper of 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
  • As long as the Warn Elite front bumper you are looking at has the 1 inch D-ring you can use the # BX88358 or if they are 7/8 inch you'd instead need the # BX88357. 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. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting...

  • Will the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie-Downs for Bike Racks Work with Any Bike
  • Yes, the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie-Downs for Bike Racks part # SR54FR is a universal strap that can be used on pretty much any bike or bike rack. The only issue we see sometimes is the distance between the wheel and frame is too large but all you will need to do in this case is join two of the straps together. These straps will do an excellent job of keeping the wheels for spinning while in transport. They also have many other uses. If you would also like a universal bike lock you...

  • E-Bike Rack Recommendation With Clearance to Fit Around Jeep Wrangler Spare
  • The best option for you would be the Hollywood Racks RV Rider part # HLY64FR as it has an 80 lb per bike capacity and the most clearance to fit around your rear spare since it has 12 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the rack. I attached a picture that shows it installed on a Wrangler as well. This rack is one of the easier ones to use so even though it's basically your only option it is still a really great option that you'll be happy with.

  • Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2004 Jeep Wrangler
  • We have a similar base plate kit to the one you mentioned available for your 2004 Jeep Wrangler but that specific base plate kit is no longer available. Instead you'd want the Roadmaster EZ4 kit part # RM-521424-4 which is similar and would use the same style of connection as the XL kit you mentioned. You'll need to have a Roadmaster tow bar like the Falcon part # RM-520 or an adapter like what you see at the attached link below.

  • Does Flat Towing 2020 Jeep Wrangler Require Using Brake Light Relay
  • To determine if you need the Roadmaster Brake Lite Relay part # RM-88400 you'll need to first put your 2020 Jeep Wrangler in ignition position that it needs to be in when towing (check owners manual) and then check to see if the brake lights of the vehicle come on when you hit the brake pedal. If not you do not need the relay but if so you will. I attached an install video for it for you to check out as well.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for a Jeep Wrangler Towing a Rpod Trailer
  • The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use. You would likely benefit from a...

  • Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation for a 1999 Jeep Wrangler getting Flat Towed
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118409 that you referenced is wiring for activating trailer taillights on a trailer being towed behind the vehicle that the harness is installed on. While technically the # 118409 could work in reverse it's not something we can safely recommend you do because it could cause current to backfeed on your vehicle wiring and damage something. We are aware people do this and some have not had issues, but its still not the best solution. If you are looking for...

  • Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • I do have a great option for you, however the Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards # AA3036571 that you referenced are designed for later model year Jeep Wranglers (2018-2019) and will not fit your 2017 Jeep Wrangler JKU. For your Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited the correct Aries ActionTrac Motorized Running Boards is the part # AA3036570. This includes custom mounting brackets designed for your Jeep that will eliminate the need for any drilling during installation. These is a really nice...

  • Cargo Carrier to Fit Front and Rear Hitch on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler with Curt Hitches Installed
  • If you check out the review video I attached you can see the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18145 being installed on a similar Jeep Wrangler as your 2015 model and that it fits and works well. If you wanted to install this in a front hitch on your vehicle that would be possible, but you would need to consider the fact that it may block headlights and/or radiator air flow. Another option you have is a spare tire mounted cargo carrier like Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket # SPSJ4319....

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1999 Jeep Wrangler
  • The Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380 would work to flat tow your 1999 Jeep Wrangler. You will need several other items to complete your towing setup though. The first thing you will need is a base plate kit. If you have a double tube bumper you would want the part # BX1120, if you have a U-channel bumper you would want part # BX1118. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for 2013 Jeep Wrangler with 225/75-16 Size Tires
  • You didn't tell me what tire size you do have, but chances are you have the 225/75-16 as both tire chains you mentioned are a fit for this size. Essentially both chain sizes will provide you with the same thing in terms of performance and install. The chains are slightly different size but there is a bit of overlap between tire sizes and the chains that fit them. The slightly bigger set is the # TC2319 which would probably be your better option since you have off road tires.
