Expert Answers about Jeep JK Wrangler


  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK With A Blue Ox Aventa Tow Bar
  • To connect to a Blue Ox Aventa tow bar you would need to use a Blue Ox baseplate like the # BX1126, as long as your 2018 Jeep Wrangler has a factory bumper. If you haven't gotten the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations for you: Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This kit will have everything you need to display your motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights on your Wrangler. Braking...

  • How To Choose Base Plates for a 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler with Aftermarket Bumper
  • The physical dimensions of the bumper will be different for each make/model therefore the shape of the brackets for the base plates designed for said bumper will be different. We offer base plates for a number of different Jeep bumpers which you can see in the list below. If yours is not listed and we may still have an option if it has d-rings, the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts part # RM-035 or part # RM-035-1.

  • Will the Thule Force XT XL Fit on a Smittybilt SRC Roof Rack on a 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler
  • It sounds like you already have the Thule Force XT L, part # TH6357B, and you're looking to upgrade to the XT XL, part # TH6358B. While we haven't had an opportunity to test the XT XL with a SRC roof rack, the crossbar spread shouldn't be a problem. The XT L that you have has the exact same minimum requirement as the XL. If your current one works, then the XL should work as well. I've linked to a video review of these boxes below.

  • Bike Rack For 2 E-Bikes, On The Back Of A 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Being Flat Towed
  • You are correct that there are some bike racks designed for flat towing and some that are not.

This bike rack is designed for flat towed vehicles, accommodates E-bikes and has a weigh capacity of up to 75lbs per bike.

  • Recommended Base Plate For A 2018 Jeep Wrangler Willy's Edition
  • For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Willy's model the important factor is going to be what type of bumper you have. If your Wrangler is a JK with a standard factory bumper then you'll need the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5. If you have a JL with a standard plastic or metal factory bumper then you'll want the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5.

  • Can the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Be Used with Hitch Extender On a 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler
  • Yes, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE part # HLY84FR can be used with an extender for which I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender part # C45791 but this will reduce the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50%. That said, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE may work on your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler without an extender depending on tire size and hitch combo. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE requires no more than 7-1/2" from the face of the trailer hitch out to the rear edge of the spare...

  • Adapters For Connecting Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar To 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited
  • There are several manufacturers who have flat tow rated aftermarket bumpers for your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited. Personally I recommend looking at options from either AEV or Quadratec. Be sure the model bumper you select is flat tow rated as not all bumpers are. You will then need either the 3/4" Adapter # RM-035 or 1" Adapter # RM-035-1 depending on the width of the shackle mount. I do recommend using the Locking Pins # IR44FR to secure the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding...

If you do not want to purchase wheel adapters separately then you could instead go with the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack for Fat Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # C18085-FB. This can handle up to 4-7/8" wide tires and has a weight capacity of 45lbs per bike. If you have bikes weighing over 45lbs, such as...

  • Fender Flares and Side Marker Lights for 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler
  • While there is an option for front fender flares that you can add side marker lights to on your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler, the Rampage Trail Fender Flares for Jeep - Steel - Front and Rear # RA867981 have a flat lip, so they can't have side marker lights attached to the sides as there isn't a place to mount the lights on the side of the flares. For front and rear fender flares and marker lights that fit your Jeep you would need the following: - Aries Front Fender Flares for Jeep # AA1500201 -...

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK With A Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and Blue Ox Aventa II tow bar you'll need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1134. To go along with your tow bar I recommend the RoadMaster 68" Safety Cables # RM-643. The coiled design of these cables will help prevent them from dragging on the ground and being damaged. If you don't have the rest of your flat tow setup then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Equipment For A 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK
  • To use the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 to flat tow your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler you'll need to use a Roadmaster crossbar-style base plate like the # RM-521448-4 to connect to. This base plate is only compatible with a standard factory bumper so if you have a different style bumper let me know and I can find the compatible fit. The RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs # RM-643 are a great choice for safety cables, and are my most recommended choice for vehicle's...

  • Hopkins Wiring Kit to Flat Tow 2018 Jeep Wrangler
  • We do have a Hopkins wiring kit that will work with your 2018 Jeep Wrangler, but the wiring kit you mentioned is not available, like you said. What we know will work for your '18 Wrangler is the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200. We know this will work because of numerous customer reviews stating they have installed it, and we have also installed it on a 2018 Wrangler. I have added a link below to a video of that install for you to check out.

  • Can I Install Both a Flat Towing Wiring Harness and a 4-Way Connector on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK?
  • Yes, so long as you don't try to use both of them at the same time. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C55124 will work as a 4-flat connector and plugs into your Jeep's existing wiring. If you try to flat tow your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK with say a bike rack on the back or a cargo carrier that has lights on it then the 4-flat connector will not work, only the Hopkins item # HM56200. The Curt item # C55124 is confirmed to fit the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK's without the towing...

  • Will Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack Have Clearance to be Used When Flat Towing
  • I think you'll be just fine using the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver # RM-077-2 with the Swagman E-Spec Electric Bike Rack # S94FR although you will only be able to find out for sure after taking a measurement with your Wrangler connected to your motorhome. The E-Spec rack will extend a total of about 29 inches from the face of the Roadmaster adapter, and if your tow bar has telescoping arms, the distance between the bike rack and Jeep should still be far enough to avoid any damage.
