  • Recommended Solution to Carry Kayaks Using Curt Roof Rack on 2018 Jeep Cherokee
  • I may have a solution to help you better secure your kayak on the crossbars, but there is not an available eyelet that can be mounted on the Curt # C18118 since there are not channels on the bars. It sounds like maybe you don't already have a kayak carrier, which would provide the best possible solution to secure kayaks to your roof rack. I recommend using the Curt J-Style Kayak Carriers # C18320, which will mount to the Curt roof rack bars on the # C18118 and comes with 2 tie down straps...

  • Can 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk be Flat Towed Behind Motor Home and Parts Needed
  • I took a look at the online copy of the owner's manual for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee and it can be flat towed so long as it is a 4-Wheel Drive and has a 2-Speed Power Transfer Unit so you will need to contact the dealer to find out if this Cherokee has those features. If it is a 4WD with a 2-speed transfer case there are a number of parts you will need, starting with vehicle-specific base plates. I'll list all the parts you need: - Base Plate Kit: Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519308 -...

  • Recommend Flat Towing Components for 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  • I do have an option for you but the Demco Tabless base plate kit # DM9519340 does not have a compatible rock guard at this time. I recommend Roadmaster Crossbar-style base plate kit part # RM-521451-4 with the Roadmaster All Terrain tow bar part # RM-522. You will also need safety cables part # RM-645. For a rock guard you can use Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 which mounts on the tow bar or you can use a hitch-mount adjustable mud flap system like Rock Tamers # ERT00108 which...

  • Parts Required for Safe & Legal Flat Towing of 1998 Jeep Cherokee Behind Class B Motorhome
  • Virtually all U.S. states and Canadian provinces require that a towed vehicle be equipped with a supplemental braking system of one type or another. Even if you happened to be towing in an area where one was not required my guess is that only a few miles would be required for you to see the merits of a toad braking system! Supplementary braking systems come in many forms. There are purely mechanical systems and portable/wireless electronic systems like the outstanding Blue Ox Patriot #...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Cherokee Behind Motorhome

For base plates, I'd recommend the Roadmaster # RM-521452-5 which fits non-Trailhawk...

  • Which Wiring Harness Do I Need for Jeep Cherokee 2001 to Hook A Rockwood Freedom Camper With 6-Way
  • The item you selected, Adapter 4 Way Flat to 6 Way Square for Jayco, part # 30104 may work, but the wire functions may be incorrect, and would require you to wire the adapter by function using circuit tester, part # PTW2993. I would recommend changing your vehicle and trailer wiring to 6-Way Round. For your Jeep you will need, Adapter 4 Pole to 6 Pole and 4 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter, part # 37175. Then, for your trailer, you will need Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Connector...

  • Is Stop Light Switch Needed for Blue Ox Patriot Braking System on 2017 Jeep Cherokee
  • According to Blue Ox, because the Patriot # BLU37TR is self contained, a separate connection to the brake stop lamp switch isn't necessary, as opposed to the Roadmaster # RM-9400 which would need a stop lamp switch installed.

  • You can install a 7-way in your 2000 Jeep Cherokee but there is no plug-in harness for this vehicle, you are going to need to add a number of parts.

  • Blue Ox Base Plates and Flat Towing Setup for 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  • There certainly is! As long as your Cherokee has the 2 speed transfer case with a Neutral position, it can be successfully flat towed. FWD vehicles would need to be towed with a tow dolly like # DM9713093, and 4x4 vehicles with a 1 speed transfer case need to be trailer towed. Assuming your Trailhawk has the 2 speed transfer case, you'll want to use the Blue Ox # BX1143 base plate kit. You'll also need a few other items to complete your flat towing setup: • Blue Ox Alpha 2 tow bar,...

  • Using The RoadMaster InvisBrake Second Vehicle Kit To Install On New Vehicle

The 1/4 inch check valve it calls for is to plug the vacuum line on the original vehicle so you can swap the systems back and forth with out causing a vacuum leak.

  • Parts Needed To Connect Roadmaster Base Plate On 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk To Duncan Tow Bar
  • If you have the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521446-4 on your 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk you can use the RoadMaster Base Plates to Duncan Adapter # RM-038. If you have the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521446-5 you will need new Arms # RM-ARMS to change it to the crossbar-style arms.
