• Can I Monitor The Braking System In The Motorhome When Using The Roadmaster InvisiBrake System?
• Although the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 doesn't have a fancy transmitter/ receiver like the RoadMaster Even Brake System # RM-9430, the InvisiBrake system does have a LED monitor that illuminates when your towed vehicle's brakes have been activated. It lets you know if the brakes have been on for too long with an audible alert. at that point the system will automatically begin to release pressure after 15 seconds of continuous braking. The InvisiBrake system...

• Roadmaster Direct-Connect vs Crossbar-Style Base Plates for 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The main difference between the Roasmaster # RM-521453-5 (previously known as EZ5) and # RM-521453-4 (previously known as EZ4) base plate kits for your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, is that the RM-521453-5 is a Direct-Connect style, meaning your motor-home mounted tow bar attaches directly to the base plate's removable arms, without the need for a crossbar. This is the easiest to connect and disconnect, and it also makes your tow-bar about 20 lbs lighter, so the # RM-521453-5 is your best...

• Which System Is Best Between The Curt TruTrack & The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System?
• When it comes to choosing between the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C17499 and the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37100ET you'll want to take a couple of things into consideration: 1. Both systems have integrated sway control. 2. Both systems have a no-drill installation. & 3. Both systems are rated for about the same, with one system having a maximum tongue weight range of 500-800lbs, and the other at 600-1,000lbs. However...

• Performance Chip To Help A 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Tow A Trailer
• The Flashcal F5 # SU3571-JL you're looking at really isn't a performance chip. No performance is added with this one in particular. What's good about this one is that you can calibrate your vehicle if you upgraded it at all. For example, if you were to swap the stock tires with something larger and more aggressive you can calibrate your speedometer to make up for the larger tires. If you're looking to get a chip that will help you tow, get the Edge Pulsar Inline Tuner with Insight CTS3...

• What is the Difference Between Pioneer and Backbone Systems for a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• Great question! The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System # JB0893 and # JB0892 are basically the same thing, but the difference is that the # JB0893 has the Rhino-Rack quick-release leg system. This means that if you plan on removing the platform rack and then putting it back on then this would be the better option because you just have to squeeze 2 levers on the inside of the feet instead of having to remove hardware. Aside from that both systems are the same....

• Comparing Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivers for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13392 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98856 for a 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is their finish. The etrailer hitch has a matte finish which blends in with the vehicle better and hides scratches more and the Curt hitch has a shiny finish. They are both great and equally durable. I recommend the etrailer hitch as it simply looks a bit nicer. In order to complete your towing setup you'll also need the T-One Vehicle...

• Are Direct Connect Plates Strong Enough To Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The reason the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited does not use a crossbar for the tow bar is due to the design of the removable arms that connect directly to the tow bar instead of requiring a tow bar. There is not a hidden cross bar on the base plate. You are correct that the crossbar adds strength to the system, but on Jeeps like yours direct connect base plates are plenty strong and are the most common option due to them allowing...

• Recommended Draw-Tite Hitch For A 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• When installed on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the Draw-Tite 76104 will measure 6" and the Draw-Tite # DT78MR will measure 6-3/8", so it will be slightly longer (diagrams included). These are pretty similar to each other and do have the same weight capacities, but the safety chain loops and wire harness are in different locations. Between the two, I prefer the # DT78MR, but that is just personal preference.

• Differences Between Curt Cargo Carriers part # C18152 and C18150
• To put it simply...the difference is 4 inches. The platform of the # C18150 measures 20 inches by 60 inches and the part # C18152 measures 24 by 60 inches. Also, the shank of the # C18152 is a bit longer which would be better for you. It has a distance of 11 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the nearest rail whereas the # C18150 has 7-1/2 inches there. I attached a review video that shows the # C18150 being used on a 2015 Wrangler Unlimited just like yours as well.

• Difference Between Roadmaster Base Plate Kits For 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• That's a good question and the only difference between the two Roadmaster base plate kits that fit your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited are the style of Roadmaster tow bar that connects to them. The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-4 allows you to utilize a Roadmaster crossbar-style tow bar, while the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 won't allow the use of a tow bar with a crossbar. The direct-connect base plates are also easier to use a tow bar with...

• Differences of Roadmaster Direct Connect and Cross Bar Base Plates for 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The main difference between the Roadmaster direct connect base plate kit (previously known as the EZ5) # RM-521453-5 and the cross bar style base plate kit (previously known as the EZ4) # RM-521453-4 is how the tow bar attaches to the base plate. The cross bar style base plate uses a quick disconnect bar to connect the tow bar up, the direct connect uses pins and clips to mount to the tow bar. They install exactly the same, the arms are the only difference. A direct connection makes it...

• Do Putco Ceramic Load Resistors P230004C-2 Get Hotter than Aluminum Load Resistors 230004A-2
• All types of load resistors such as part # DI34ZR will get hot as they do their job of absorbing power (providing resistance). Both will work fine for helping a wiring harness work well with low-power-demand LED type trailer lighting. Aluminum will disapate heat faster, however, all will get the job done. .

• What is the Difference Between the EZ4 and EZ5 Base Plate Kits for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• Since both the EZ4 # RM-521448-4 and EZ5 # RM-521448-5 base plate kits fit your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and have removable draw bars there really doesn't seem to be much of a difference at first glance. However, there are some significant differences that are important to take note of. The EZ5 kit is easier to connect your Falcon tow bar to but does not allow the use of the anchor brackets for sterling cables. Sterling cable anchors will have to be attached to the frame or welded...

• Comparing Rhino Rack Pioneer and Exposed Racks for Rooftop Tent On 2020 Jeep Wrangler JLU
• In regards to using a rooftop mounted tent, there is really no comparison between the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack with Backbone Mounting System part # JB0893 and Roof Rack for Jeep JL and JL Unlimited Hardtop part # ER84FR. The reason for this is because there really isn't a good way to attach a rooftop tent to the platform without modifications so the latter will be a much better option for this purpose. In regards to support, most rooftop tents use a ladder which helps with weight...

• Comparison Of Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System vs SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs
• Both are great jounce-style systems that have similar functions. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, Item # TJRJK, is designed to provide support and stability with vehicles that are carrying heavy loads. The Timbrens are a stiffer spring that are really designed for heavy lifting often associated with trucks and their loads and so they will be a "rougher" ride in your 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. In contrast, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs, Item # SSR-401-47,...

• Difference Between Rhino-Rack Pioneer With or Without Backbone 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• The biggest difference between the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack that uses the Backbone system vs the one that doesn't is that the Backbone system more or less offers a whole skeleton body for the platform rack to connect to as opposed to just connecting to a roof rack on your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This means that you'll get a better weight capacity out of the platform so if you plan on using it a lot and loading it up then I definitely recommend going with the Backbone system. For...

• What is the Difference Between the Roadmaster EZ4 and EZ5 Base Plate Kits on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler
• That is a great question because overall there is not much of a difference. The difference between the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit (EZ4) # RM-521453-4 and the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit (EZ5) # RM-521453-5 is going to be in what type of tow bar attaches to each base plate. The # RM-521453-4 (EZ4) will use a crossbar style tow bar like the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plates # e44ZR. The # RM-521453-5 (EZ5) will use a direct...

• Comparing Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness and Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness for 2011 Wrangler
• The only difference between the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness, # C55124, and the Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118416, is that they are made by two different manufacturers. They are essentially the same exact wiring harness coming from two different companies. Both Tow Ready and Curt are reputable companies so you will not be sacrificing quality with either harness. When deciding which harness to purchase, I would go with the least expensive option to save money. I have attached...

• Difference Between Roadmaster EZ4 and EZ5 Base Plates for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• Both the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-4 and EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5 will fit on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The primary difference between the two designs is the way they attach to the tow bar. The EZ5 does not use the quick-connect crossbar which provides a cleaner look, but prevents you from using some accessories that mount to the crossbar such as a Rock Guard like the Roadmaster # RM-4000. If you are at all interested in using a rock guard or protective...
