  • There is no right or wrong way to store the windows from your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport in the Bestop Hoss Duffel, # B4281009. The windows can be stored in any order and in any orientation that you see fit as long as they are flat. I spoke with my contact at Bestop to see if they had any recommendations and they said that they do not have any instructions or recommendations on how to store your windows other than making sure the included fabric is placed between each window.

  • How to Tow a 2016 Jeep Renegade FWD Manual Transmission Behind a Motorhome
  • According to page 430 of the online version of the owner's manual you can dolly tow your 2016 Jeep Renegade FWD with the manual transmission but you cannot flat tow it. We do carry tow dollies so we can still help you with transporting your Renegade. Out of the available options I highly recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS # DM9713045 because it features hydraulic disc brakes, a wheeled jack for easily moving the dolly around, and folding ramps and a folding tongue for storage or in RV parks...

  • Can SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO SM99251 be Installed in Engine Compartment in 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • There isn't a specific place that the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 has to be installed on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Under the seat is the easiest place to install it but if there is something in the way such as an under seat storage box then it can be installed elsewhere. If you wanted to install it in the engine compartment and there is space then you can certainly put it there. Also the # RM-88400 relay is required to prevent the towed vehicle's brake signal from overriding the...

  • Key Position When Flat Towing 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler
  • I looked though the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler and there isn't a clear indication as to whether or not the key should be left in the ignition while it's being flat towed. There is a detailed procedure for how to prepare the vehicle for recreational towing by shifting it into neutral starting on page 319 that you will need to follow. Typically when flat towing a vehicle the key is left in the ACC/ACCESSORY position so that the steering wheel does...

  • Fascia Trimming for Trailer Hitch C12057 for a 2013 Jeep Compass Sport
  • There is minor fascia trimming required to install Curt trailer hitch # C12057 on your 2013 Jeep Compass. I have included a picture that comes from the instructions showing the area that needs to be trimmed. I have also linked the instructions for you to view. Instead of the Class II hitch you're looking at I recommend the Class III # C13081. The 2 inch receiver opening of the Class III accepts a lot more accessories than the Class II. The Class III also makes sure you get all of the...

  • How to Reinstall Tow Hook on a 2012 Jeep Patriot when Installing a Trailer Hitch
  • You can reinstall the tow hook if present when installing trailer hitch # 75712 on a 2012 Jeep Patriot. You will have to drive out the knurled neck bolts on the tow hook. Then you will need to drill out the holes to 5/8 of an inch. Use the hardware that comes with the hitch to attach the tow hook to the outside of the driver side frame. I have included a link to the installation instructions that explain this process. I have also linked a video that shows the rest of a typical installation. If...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • The most popular trailer hitch for your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is Curt Class III trailer hitch # 13432.

When used with weight distribution it is rated for 400 pounds tongue weight and 4,000 pounds gross trailer weight. Since you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

  • Trailer Hitch Installation Difficulty on a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
  • The etrailer hitch # e73ZR is indeed a fit for the Latitude model of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Trailer hitch installation is something that you can do at home but I do recommend having an assistant because hitches are heavy and getting them in the right place and tightening hardware at the same time is difficult for one person to do alone. All 2014 Jeep Cherokees will have the holes for the hitch already in the frame. You will not have to do any drilling but there is some trimming and lowering...

  • Estimated Installation Time for a Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • It will not take much longer, a few minutes most likely, maybe longer if you have to spray some penetrating oil and let it soak a while to remove the tow loop. The estimated professional installation time for trailer hitch # C13182 is 10 minutes. For a do-it-yourselfer at home I estimate about an hour from start to finish. Ultimately it depends on your ability and if you have the proper tools. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you so you can determine if this...

  • Installation of Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75338 on a 2006 Jeep Commander
  • You can find the torque requirements for Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75338 in the instructions which I have linked below for you. We do not post them in case the manufacturer changes them.

It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball,...

  • Why Do Different Hitches Install in Different Ways on a 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  • One method is not really better than the other. There is just more than one way a hitch could be installed on the 2005 Jeep Wrangler. It would be slightly easier to install a hitch that mounts just to the bottoms of the frame rails, such as # 13408, since the mounting holes are a little easier to reach. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch...

  • How Does the EcoHitch Hidden Hitch Attach to a 2017 Jeep Renegade?
  • I would be happy to help you. The bolts for the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # EH83VR thread into weld nuts on the bottom side of the frame. I have attached an installation video below. If you skip ahead to the 9 minute mark you will see this step. Weld nuts are drilled and tapped into the frame of vehicles when they are manufactured so hitches and other accessories can be installed. If you need a wiring harness for your 2017 Jeep Renegade...

  • Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installation on a 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk with Factory Tow Hook
  • Yes, so in the instructions for Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 76021 for your 2015 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk step 2 mentions the factory tow hook. That is the same tow hook that you are describing (rear, driver's side). So on models that have that tow hook you would skip step 3 in the instructions. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It...

  • Does Tow Hook of 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Have to Come off to Install Hitch
  • You are correct that the tow hooks of your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee would need to be removed to install the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75699 that you referenced. The hitch attaches to the insides of your frame rails. The tow hook occupies the same area as the hitch so it would have to come off. There really is no difference between Hidden Hitch and Draw Tite hitches as they are both made by the same company. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118425 which is a confirmed fit....

  • Center Console for Second Row Bucket Seats
  • I may have an option for you but none of our center console's are tan in color. The only color options we have for you are charcoal, black, grey, and spice. The closest color we have to tan is going to be spice. As long as you have 27-1/4" long x 8-1/4" wide x 12-1/4" tall of space between the second row of seats, I recommend using the Rampage Locking Center Console part # RA31617. The Rampage Locking Center Console is designed to be used on certain year Jeep's but can be adapted for other...
