Expert Answers about Jeep


  • Yakima OnRamp Off-Road and RV Weight Rating Explained
  • Great question! The hitch receiver on motorhomes tends to sit further away from the rear axle than it does on a standard passenger vehicle which is why the weight rating reduction applies to both Off-Road and RV use for the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR. Technically you could still use this on a motorhome but if any damage were to occur it wouldn't be covered under warranty. For your application I recommend using the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR which can hold up to 80 lb bikes...

  • Diameter of the Mounting Bases in Mounting Hardware for Tow-Rax Removable Wheel Chock TWPH2770
  • I went out to the warehouse to measure the round anchors in Mounting Hardware # TWPH2770. The bases of the round anchors are 2 inches in diameter. The part that goes into a hole is 1/2 inch in diameter so the hole it goes into would have to be smaller than that for a snug fit.

  • What is the Tongue Weight Capacity of the etrailer Hitch e98856 on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL
  • I checked with our vendor and the etrailer item # e98856 has a 350 lbs tongue weight capacity when installed on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL. The Draw-Tite item # DT78MR has the highest available tongue weight capacity at 675 lbs. I highly recommend checking with your owner's manual or contacting a Jeep dealership to confirm what your Wrangler JL's actual tongue weight capacity is. The hitch manufacturer's, especially Draw-Tite, over-rate their hitches because they fit many different models...

  • Recommended Supplemental Braking System for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimted
  • I would be happy to! One of the most reliable and easiest supplemental braking systems to install is the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System item # BLU37TR. This is a proportional braking system which means it stops or slows your Jeep with the same force as you are braking in your RV. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles and towing components. The Blue Ox Patriot item # BLU37TR is also a portable system which means you can use...

  • Recommended Deflector Screen for Use w/ a Demco Tow Bar
  • Yes, it will if you are using a Demco base plate kit along with your Demco Commander tow bar! The Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screen for Towed Vehicles item # RM-4750 is compatible with this combination, however I have a better option. The Sentry Deflector for Demco Tow Bars item # DM9523135 is a better rock guard compared to the Roadmaster option because it covers the front of the vehicle not the top of the tow bar. It is also a solid polyethylene shield instead of a nylon screen. We...

  • Do I Need a Brake Relay Switch to Flat Tow a 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe?
  • Yes, you will! For the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO item # SM99251 to function properly in your 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe you will need to use the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM-751000. It is required because your brake lights do not function when the Jeep is in the tow mode according to Roadmaster.

  • Using Derale Transmission Line Compression Fitting Kit D13031
  • We have not had any feedback concerning the Derale Transmission Line Compression Fitting Kit # D13031 being prone to leak. If the outside diameter of your transmission line is 5/16" on your 1995 Jeep YJ then these fittings are going to work for you. To make certain there is no leaking what you can do is use liquid thread tape (Leak Lock) to seak the threads on the components expect for the one that secures the compression ring. You can also use standard thread tape, just make sure it is...

  • What Size are the Large Nuts/Bolt on Rampage Rear Recovery Bumper Swing Away Spare Tire Carrier
  • I did some checking and the large bolt and the nuts that fit it on the Rampage Recovery Bumper with Swing Arm # RA88606 are 1-1/4"-7. That means 7 threads per inch so you would need 1-1/4 inch nuts with 7 threads per inch in the desired size to work with your application.

  • Ground Clearance of Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2018 Jeep Renegade Latitude
  • We actually had the opportunity to install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76021 on a 2018 Jeep Renegade Latitude and found from the ground to the top of the receiver tube is 10-1/4". Since this is a 2" receiver we can subtract 2-1/4" (the 1/4" is for the collar) which puts the bottom of the hitch around 8" above the ground. I have attached a photo and our installation video for you to check out. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I'd be more...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Jeep Compass
  • To add a hitch to your 2022 Jeep Compass, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e48AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jeep with included hardware. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible. Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C66BR and a ball mount kit item # C45534. I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure...
