  • How The Detail K2 Custom Mounting Brackets Effect Ground Clearance/Approach Angle
  • I contacted the manufacturer on your behalf for additional detail. The Custom Mounting Brackets for Detail K2 Snowplows # K284115 help provide good ground clearance to avoid curbs via the 2-point brackets designed to fit close to your vehicle without protruding beyond bumper The ideal distance from the ground to mount is in the neighborhood of 9-18" and these brackets help to prevent the plow back end from sitting too high by a few inches more to provide more clearance.

  • Should I Run Lower PSI In My Trailer Tires When Towing An Empty Trailer With My 1993 Jeep YJ
  • You always want to have the tires on your trailer inflated to the maximum tire pressure as specified on the tire. If you run the trailer tires at a lower PSI, the thicker sidewall of the trailer tires would cause the tires to heat up quicker and would reduce the life of the tires. I have linked an FAQ on trailer tires that you may find as a useful reference.

  • Installing Blue Ox Base Plate Bracket Kit # BX88230 on 1989 Jeep YJ with Aftermarket Bumper
  • According to my contact at Blue Ox, their Bolt-On Base Plate Bracket Kit # BX88230 needs to be installed as close as possible to a 24-inch spread for use with their Alpha Tow Bar. You have at most 1 - 2-inches of leeway either wider or narrower. Since your bumper's D-rings are 28-1/2-inches apart you may be able to fit the brackets inboard of the D-rings and remain within an acceptable spread. It is a good idea to check with the manufacturer of your aftermarket bumper to find out if any...

  • Bike Rack Similar to Thule T2 that Has Ramp Setup
  • I have a solution but there isn't a way to adapt the Kuat bike rack ramp part # ANVBRB to fit your Thule T2 Pro XTR nor is there a similar option that can fit your specific rack. If you were in need of a bike rack setup with a ramp you'd need to go with a new rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which has a ramp that pulls out of it for easy loading.

  • Can Replacement Single-Panel On/Off Switch AT91959 Be Wired to a Suburban Water Heater
  • The Replacement Single-Panel On/Off Switch # AT91959 is designed for certain Atwood gas and electric water heaters (like GH6-8E) but can technically be wired to a similar water heater from a different manufacturer. Although I have no way to provide you with the color by color schematic for your Suburban water heater, the best I can do is provide you with a wiring diagram indicating the pin functions of the # AT91959 as well as the dual switch # AT91230. Note that the wire colors indicated...

  • Can Portable Supplemental Brake Systems Work in 1995 Jeep YJ without Working 12V Outlet
  • Each of the portable supplemental braking systems, such as the Blue Ox Patriot you referenced, require a working 12V accessory outlet in your 1995 Jeep YJ. You should be able to use 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 for this as it will bypass a corroded or damaged 12-volt socket. Another option is to use a system that is permanently installed in your vehicle such as the SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motorhomes with Air Brakes # SM99243 or the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental...

  • Wiring Blue Ox Patriot BLU37TR
  • You can use the excellent Blue Ox Patriot braking system # BLU37TR in your towed 1995 Jeep YJ but it needs to be powered from the towed car's battery using outlet kit # RM-9332. You also need Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400. You cannot power the Patriot from the motorhome 12V circuit because a loss of the power connection would make the unit inoperable.
