Expert Answers about Jeep CJ-5


  • Replacement Strapless Bestop Top For 1979 Jeep CJ-5
  • I have another option for you, but no, the Bestop # B5251801 you were looking at will not fit a 1979 Jeep CJ-5 as it was designed for 1980-1986 Jeep CJ-7 models. For your CJ-5 you'll need the Bestop # B5250701-B51209 instead.

  • Flat-Towing 1979 Jeep Wrangler CJ-5
  • In order to be able to tow your 1979 Jeep CJ-5, you will need to install base plates which the tow bar will attach to. We do not carry any specific base plates for your Jeep but we may have an option. I recommend the Blue Ox Universal base plates, part # BX88230. These do not attach to the Jeep frame. They actually attach to the Jeep bumper. They are designed to be bolted to a flat surface on the bumper, so the bumper may need to be modified and reinforced to be able to handle towing....

  • Parts Needed To Flat-Tow 1982 Jeep CJ-5 With Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
  • We do not have a custom base plate kit that is designed for your 1982 Jeep, but I do have a solution that will work for you. First you will need to install the Universal Blue Ox Bolt-On Base Plate Bracket Kit, part # BX88230. This attaches to the bumper on your Jeep. Since the brackets must be mounted to a flat metal surface you will most likely need to modify and or reinforce your bumper. You will then need the Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter, part # RM-031. You can...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 1981 Jeep CJ-5
  • We do have a trailer hitch that will fit your 1981 Jeep CJ-5. It is Curt trailer hitch # 13412. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

  • Can Demco Classic Base Plates for 1980 Jeep CJ-5 be Used with Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar
  • I spoke with my contact at Demco regarding the Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518112 that you referenced and he said that unfortunately these will not attach to the Roadmaster Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar and there is not an adapter available that will allow you to do so. It looks like this particular base plate kit is the only one available that is confirmed to fit your 1980 Jeep CJ-5 (as long as you have the standard factory bumper), so in order to flat tow the vehicle you will need to upgrade...

  • How to Bleed the Brakes on a 1988 Correct Craft Trailer
  • Yes, if the bolt holes on your trailer measure 3" apart on center then the Titan Leverlock Brake Actuator part # T43397007K should work for you without having to drill any new holes. The bleeding process for the brakes is not hard but it will take a bit of time. The Powerbuilt Brake Bleeder part # ALL648591 is not required but will make life easier. I have attached the instructions for you below in addition to a video. Remove the master cylinder cap and fill the reservoir to three quarters...
