Expert Answers about Jeep Liberty


  • How to Use Rola Convoy with 1-1/4 Shank on 2012 Jeep Liberty with 2 Receiver
  • There is not a specific adapter for the Rola Convoy 9307 to adapt to a 2" receiver but you can use a hitch reducer sleeve like the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 to make the 2" hitch on your 2012 Jeep Liberty into a 1-1/4" receiver. I prefer this to an extension type adapter because it uses the existing receiver and does not extend away from the cross tube significantly, so it won't reduce your tongue weight by 50% like the # C45770 would.

  • Do I Need Any Extra Parts To Install Derale Transmission Cooler # D13503 On My 2002 Jeep Liberty
  • I contacted our representative at Derale and he informed me that you will not need any additional parts to install the Derale Transmission Cooler, part # D13503, on your 2002 Jeep Liberty. All the needed parts and fittings come included. The ideal place to mount a transmission cooler for maximum cooling efficiency is behind the grille but in front of the radiator. You will need to measure to see if there is room to mount the cooler. Part # D13503 measures 11 inches wide, 8-3/4 inches tall,...

  • How to Power Supplementary Braking System In Jeep Liberty that Has Battery Disconnect Switch
  • A flat towing wiring harness cannot be plugged in to your Liberty's standard 4-pole trailer wiring harness, the one that you would use to tow a trailer. Flat tow wiring needs to remain separate from the toad's own trailer wiring. A magnetic tow light kit like Hopkins #C6304 makes for quick and easy installation without having to interfere with existing trailer wiring. For powering a supplementary braking system such as the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR while your toad's battery is shut off...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Rated for 7,500 Pounds for Class C RV on 2014 Ford E-350 Chassis
  • We do have some universal weld-on trailer hitch receivers that will have the capacity you need on your Class C Thor Chateau. If the RV's frame is 44 inches or less then you can use the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame # 41990-07. If you need a wider hitch we have # 41991-07 which will fit frames up to 62 inches wide. Both hitches are rated up to 16,000 pounds towing. You should check that the Thor is rated for at least 7,500 pounds because the hitch will not increase the RV's capacity.

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2007 Jeep Liberty with Factory 7-Way

You will use that light green wire you have mentioned and attach it to the blue wire on the brake controller. The brake controller white wire will need to go to the negative battery terminal. The red wire will need to connect to the cold side of the brake switch. Use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 if needed to test the brake switch wires. You need the one that only shows...

  • Roadmaster Base Plates for a Sterling Tow Bar and a 2011 Jeep Liberty
  • The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the owners manual of your 2011 Jeep Liberty to determine if it can be flat towed or if anything additional is needed to tow the vehicle. From the research I did, all wheel drive models with automatic transmissions and models with 2 wheel drive and a 6 or 5 speed can only be towed on a trailer. Two wheel drive models with automatic transmission will require a transmission lube pump. And 4 wheel drive models with automatic transmission...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2006 Jeep Liberty
  • On a 2006 Jeep Liberty installing a brake controller requires that it be hardwired to the vehicle. hardwiring is not vehicle specific so you can follow along with any video showing installation using a 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7. I have linked a video for you to view. If your Liberty came with a factory 7-Way, you can still use the video as a guide but you would not need the ETBC7 kit. Instead you would need kit # 5506. You would hardwire the black, white, and red wires of a...

  • Needed Tow Bar and Accessories to Flat Tow 2007 Jeep Liberty
  • In order to flat tow your Liberty, you will need to install a base plate kit. I would recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit, part # RM-521423-4. A base plate offers a safe and secure attachment point to the vehicle. This particular Roadmaster kit offers easily-removable drawbars. One they are removed, the bracketry is pretty much invisible. If you are mechanically inclined, you might be able to handle the installation, but it is fairly involved. Typically, an RV would have a receiver...

  • Wiring Needed to Flat Tow and Tow a Trailer with a 2004 Jeep Liberty
  • Even though the wiring looks the same for flat towing and trailer towing with a 2004 Jeep Liberty, you actually will need to use different wiring harnesses. If you don't already have wiring on your Liberty for towing a trailer then I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One # 118524. This comes with connectors that T into the wiring on your tail lights and wiring that you run up to your battery to power your trailer lights. This gives you a 4-Way connector to activate the standard light...
