• Can a 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited be Towed Using a Tow Dolly
• I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited and it looks like on page 318 it states that you can either tow your vehicle with all 4 wheels on the ground or all 4 wheels off of the ground. I recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to confirm this. We have everything you need to flat tow your Jeep but unfortunately it doesn't look like you can utilize your tow dolly for this. Since you like your Demco Kar Kaddy I recommend...

• Are Base Plate to Frame Safety Cables Required for the Roadmaster XL, EZ4, or EZ5
• I spoke to my contact at Roadmaster and they stated that the short safety cables that you are referring to are not required when using either the Roadmaster XL part # 1444-1, Roadmaster EZ4 part # RM-521448-4, or Roadmaster EZ5 part # RM-521448-5 on your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited. You can add them for extra peace of mind using part # RM-910648-12 but they are not required. The safety chain loops you are referring to on the above base plate kits go to the motorhome not the vehicle. Please...

• Is Additional Hardware Needed to Mount Roadmaster Tow Defender to Blue Ox Tow Bar
• The Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 referenced in your question is compatible out of the box with Blue Ox tow bars and Blue Ox brackets. This will work perfectly with your Blue Ox Aventa Tow Bar, provided you also have Blue Ox base plates already installed on the vehicle. You will not need any additional hardware or brackets to mount the Tow Defender. I have attached a short video demonstration on this product along with the written installation details that you...

I am not sure what harness you are referring to but the above is the correct method to install...

• Is There a Brake Controller Plug On a 2008 Jeep Commander
• I do have an option for you but there is not a plug and play brake controller wiring harness for your 2008 Jeep Commander so if you want to use the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller part # C24VV then you would need the Universal Wiring Adapter for Curt Trailer Brake Controllers part # C51515. In regards to the brake output wire, this would need to be ran from the back of the controller (blue wire) to the pin in the 5 o'clock position on the 7-way but I don't know what color wire that...

• Installing Brake Controller in 2001 Monaco Dynasty
• Yes, the answer page I wrote for installing a brake controller in a 2008 Monaco will be exact same as your 2001 Dynasty: The blue wire goes to the brake output circuit of the 7-way on your motorhome, the white wire goes to the ground of your battery, the black wire will run to the positive post of your MH battery through a 20 amp circuit breaker like part # PK54220, and the red wire goes to the cold side of your stop light switch on the brake pedal, in your case it should be the wire number...

• Installation of Roadmaster Even Brake Supplemental Braking System on 2011 Jeep Wrangler
• The ICX Transmitter is included with the Roadmaster Even Brake System # RM-9400 and plugs in with the included cable. The Stop Light Switch # RM-751452 will then plug into the ICX Transmitter after you install the switch in the bracket. I've attached a video of the Evenbrake and a stop light switch being installed into a Grand Cherokee. The stop light switch is a different part number but the process is the same.

• Installation of Trailer Wiring Harness and Other Parts for Towing with a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
• The wiring harness # 118381 plugs into a connector that is behind the rear bumper. However, it is not confirmed to fit your Jeep since you don't have the factory tow package. On your 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee you need # 118394 which plugs in on both sides behind each tail light. I've linked an installation video for you to take a look at. Also, if you don't already have a trailer hitch receiver I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75338. It installs using 4 bolts. I've also linked this installation...

• Why Won't Trailer Wiring for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Work
• We do have the parts to add to your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee but I'm also guessing you don't need them. My guess is you purchased a wiring kit that plugs into the US car connector like # HM40975 does. This is exactly what I used on my 2014 Grand Cherokee that didn't come with a tow package. It's a great setup except that the US car connector on our Jeeps is not active when it didn't come equipped with the factory tow package. All you have to do is take your Jeep to a dealership and they...

• I reached out to my contact at Titan Chain and he was able to confirm that the Titan Chain Tire Chains w Cams # TC3259CAM will fit the 38x13.5x17 tires on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. These chains are great for deep snow and ice, and the cam tighteners allow you to quickly adjust the chains for a secure fit. Adding the Titan Chain Multi-Arm Rubber Tire Chain Adjuster # TCMA2 will add additional security in making sure that the chain is secure to your tire. Since you have pretty large...

• What Is The Needed PSI For Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System & Jeep Wrangler
• The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, # RM-8700 has been pre-set at the factory at a level appropriate for "most" towed vehicles; there may be no adjustment necessary but this must be evaluated. The correct pressure is dependent upon whether the brake pedal clamp is positioned as low as possible on the brake pedal arm; and the number of curves in the cable between the cable anchor bracket and the air cylinder. The higher the clamp is positioned on the brake pedal arm,...

• Keeping Your Battery Charged While Using The Demco Stay-In-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System

To keep the battery charged while towing you can install the BrakeBuddy Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit Item # BB54FR. You'll still be able to disconnect the negative battery cable like the manual indicates for flat towing.

• Soft Top For 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport That Does Not Require OEM Bow System
• The Pavement Ends Replay Soft Top Fabric for Jeep - Tinted Windows # PE5114815 is just the vinyl top and it requires the factory OEM bow kit to support it (see attached photo). If you have the OEM bow kit installed then this will work. If you don't have the OEM bow system then I recommend going with a soft top that does not require the bow system, such as the Rampage Trail Top All-Season 2-in-1 Soft Top for Jeep - Tinted Windows # RA109535. This is a similar setup which also features tinted...

• Yes, as long as you use the Superchips Flashpaq F5 Performance Tuner # SU3874 to set your 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee back to stock you can use it on a compatible Jeep. There is a fit list on the product page but I can also let you know if it is compatible if you let me know the year/make/model of the Jeep you are wanting to transfer it to.

• Is a Tow Vehicle Battery Charge Line Needed for Supplemental Braking System Like Stay-In-Play Duo?
• When using any supplemental braking system on any vehicle, I recommend adding a charge line to the vehicle being towed. The Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 is easy to install and simply gives that additional peace of mind that your TOAD will start without any issue once you get to your destination even when it has been a lengthy trip. This kit simply uses your wiring connection from your motorhome to maintain your vehicle battery so that it is never...

• Installation of 4-Way Wiring Harness on 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Upgrade to MOPAR 7-way/4-Way
• Since you don't have the tow package wiring on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118727 is needed. This harness will connect behind your vehicle tail lights and will connect directly to your vehicle battery to protect your electronics from overload. This will give you the 4-way trailer functions you mentioned. Then if you want to use the Mopar plug, you will simply cut the 4-way plug off the end and use the Hopkins...

• 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...
