Expert Answers about Jeep Wrangler


  • Recommended Parts For Flat Towing 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL Behind Motorhome
  • Assuming your Wrangler has the factory plastic or steel front bumper, I'd recommend the Roadmaster # RM-521453-5 base plate, and the # RM-522 Falcon All-Terrain tow bar. An all terrain tow bar won't bind up when you try to hook up on uneven ground and will self center as you drive off, so you won't need to have the vehicle perfectly positioned behind the tow vehicle when you hook up. You'll also need a set of safety cables like # RM-643. For the electrical connections for the taillights,...

  • Recommended Roof Rack To Mount in Rain Gutters on Hard Top of 2020 Jeep Wrangler JL to Carry Kayaks
  • I will start off and say that you're going to want to use the lightest possible components here since the rain gutters on the hard tops of the Jeep JK and JL models are not as long as those on the Unlimited JKU and JLU models; this is going to reduce the capacity a bit and you won't want to load it with as much weight. I would try to keep your setup under 120-lbs total with the bars, carriers and boats if possible. I've got the perfect solution for you that will be both light weight, functional...

  • Can I Upgrade a Maxxair Fan to Include Powered Lift, Remote and Reversible Direction
  • Without knowing more information about your current fan it would be hard to say what all is needed to upgrade it to a more advanced fan. That being said most upgrade kits are meant to be used on operational fans and we currently only have upgrade kits for Fan-Tastic Vents available. If your fan is not currently working and will require repairs as well as an upgrade kit then you would be better off replacing it with a new fan that does everything you are looking for. For that I recommend...

  • What Hitch Extender do I need for a Thule Rack on a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Mud Spare Tire
  • To determine the extension length you need to take a measurement on the back of your wrangler. Take a yard stick or a dowel rod and stand it straight up and down on the ground and have it touch the outer most spot on the tire. Measure from the center of your hitch pin hole to the yard stick. This measurement is the minimum clearance you will need. Next, measure from the upright on the bike rack straight back to the hitch pin hole on the bike rack. This is the clearance the bike rack provides....

  • Tire Pressure Monitor System for Both a 2008 Jeep Wrangler and a Boat Trailer
  • The best solution for you with both of these options is to use the Color Monitor for TST TPMS Systems # TST-507-D-C and the Internal Tire Sensor # TST-507-INT-S1 for each tire on your 2008 Jeep Wrangler and each tire on your boat trailer.

  • Converting Triple Axle Trailer From Slipper Springs to Double Eye Springs
  • You will need to weld on new spring hangers to convert your triple axle trailer from slipper springs to double-eye leaf springs. The linked page shows you all hangers. Select hangers of the same height as the current ones to keep the trailer's stance as it is now or taller ones if you want to raise its height.

  • Parts Needed for Flat Towing a 1987 Jeep Wrangler Behind a SUV with a 2 Hitch
  • Yes, the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Duncan Base Plates # e24ZR can install directly into a SUV 2" hitch receiver. The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Duncan Base Plates # e24ZR will not install directly to a Jeep bumper, it will connect to a Duncan base plate kit. In order to flat tow your 1987 Jeep Wrangler with a standard bumper you will need to install a base plate kit for the tow bar to attach to. I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1137 which has removable arms...

  • Will Odometer Run When Flat Towing a 2016 Jeep Wrangler
  • As long as you follow the owner's manual for setting up your 2016 Jeep Wrangler then you won't see a change in the odometer after you flat tow. If you do see a change then you probably didn't set it up right. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components I have the etrailer preferred options listed below and I will...

  • Flat Towing Equipment Needed for 2006 Jeep Wrangler With Tube Bumper
  • You sure can! You'll just need a base plate that's compatible with the double tube bumper like # RM-521424-5 from Roadmaster, which is a fit unless the Jeep has front leaf springs. You'll also need a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high/low adapter if the installed height difference of the base plates and the receiver on the motorhome is greater than 3 inches. For a tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain, part # RM-522....

  • Do Safety Chains Need To Be Attached To The Tow Bar When Flat Towing?
  • The safety chains/cables like the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 do not attach to the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount # C19745. Instead they'd be secured to the base plate of the towed vehicle and the RV. That way if the tow bar gets disconnected from the towed vehicle, the safety chains are still attached to the vehicle and RV. The Roadmaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 is a great option, that feature a coiled design to...

  • Recommended Rise/Drop Adapter for Flat Towing with Between 2-4" Rise
  • I may have a solution for you, and it generally sounds like you're in need of a high/low adapter like the Roadmaster # RM-048-4, which has 4" rise and a 10000-lbs capacity that would work well for this application. However, you mentioned wanting to have a dual hitch to allow you to mount something below the top receiver and unfortunately using the top receiver for the tow bar is not going to allow the bottom receiver to be used. Using a dual hitch receiver requires you to use the bottom...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2000 Jeep Wrangler TJ
  • Those are weldnut plates with 14 inches of wire behind them. These are used to provide a nut for a bolt that threads through the base plate kit and then through the frame. The nut plate gets inserted into the frame and gets aligned so that the installation bolt that secures the base plate kit to the frame has something to tighten onto. I attached the installation instructions for this base plate kit to give you more installation info. There are several other components needed to flat tow...
