Expert Answers about Jeep CJ-7


  • Recommended Flat Towing Setup For 1982 Jeep CJ-7
  • I would be happy to recommend a flat towing setup for your 1982 Jeep CJ-7. Since the only base plate kit confirmed to fit your Jeep is the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518112 which will work with the standard front bumper, you will not be able to use the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501. Luckily there are other tow bars out there that will work great with this base plate kit. I recommend using the Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar - Victory Series # DM9511012 which has...

  • Winch Mount that Fits 1981 Jeep CJ-7
  • Yes the winch plate for CJ7 and CJ5 Wranglers # BDW20009 would do a great job for a winch mount for your 1981 CJ-7. It uses the standard winch mounting bolt pattern so it would work with any hitch mounted winch as well.

  • Wheel Strap Recommendation for Use With Multiple Sets of Tires Under 30" Tall and 12" Wide
  • The Erickson Adjustable Wheel Net with E-track Fittings # 77314 are adjustable for use with tires up to 29", so they're going to be just a bit too small for your widest tires. The other thing with these wheel nets is that they are only for use with the Erickson E-Track System Plates similar to # E19135, so if you don't have those installed on your trailer deck, you'd need to get some of those to be able to use those wheel straps. You may want to consider the ProGrip Adjustable Wheel Net...

  • Trailer Brake Controller and 7-Way Connector Recommendation for a 1980 Jeep CJ-7
  • To start, you will need a 4-Way on the Jeep unless you already have one. Use # 18252. Once installed you will then need a 4 and 7 way installation kit # ETBC7. This will provide the 7-Way and all of the wiring needed to install a brake controller. I have included some links that explain the installation. For a brake controller, our most popular and best selling is the Tekonsha P2, # 90885, because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included a link to the installation details...

  • Can Bulldog Winch Mounting Kit for 1986 Jeep CJ-7 Fit with Tow Hooks Installed
  • The Bulldog Winch Winch Mounting Plate Kit # BDW20009 that you referenced attaches to the top of the bumper on your 1986 Jeep CJ-7 so it would not interfere with the tow hooks you have at all.

  • Converter to Separate Turn Signals from Brake Lights on a 1984 Jeep CJ-7 Used in France
  • To separate out the turn signals from the brake lights on a vehicle such as your 1984 Jeep CJ-7 you will need a special type of converter. There are 2 options and they both do the same thing and install the same way. One is the Brite-Lite converter, # RM-732, and the other is from Curt, # C56196. On either the input side has 3 wires. White is ground and will attach to a clean metal surface. Green is for the combined right turn signal and brake light and yellow is for combined left turn...

  • Recommended Replacement for Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller
  • If you want to simply replace your existing Tekonsha Voyager in your vehicle with the same model unit, you can use the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510. This is the sama 9030 brake controller that you have and it will work great for trailers that have up to 4 axles. I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha regarding the XP 89240 model number that you mentioned. He stated that this is simply a re-labeled number that is used for different distributors. There is no actual difference between the two models...

  • Best Supplemental Braking System for a 1984 Jeep CJ-7
  • The best supplemental braking system for your 1984 Jeep CJ-7 is going to be the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System part # SM99251. The Stay-IN-Play DUO is a proportional system which means it will activate the brakes in your toad at the same time and with the same intensity as those in your motor home. The SMI brand has been around for quite awhile and they have fine tuned the Stay-IN-Play DUO over the years to be one of the best, if not the best supplemental braking systems...

  • Recommended Supplemental Braking System to Flat-Tow a 1994 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler
  • A great option for your vehicle is the BrakeBuddy supplemental braking system like the Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494. This system is great because it is easily installed and removed from the vehicle. It also has customizable setting that allow you to set the correct braking pressure. I went ahead and called my tech at BrakeBuddy, and he said that this system works as long as you have full-time electric brakes or vacuum brakes on your 1985 Jeep CJ-8...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 1983 Jeep CJ7
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 18252. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Brake EVN # TK63VR. This is one of our best selling brake controllers...

  • Wiring Recommendation for Flat Towing a 1982 Jeep CJ 7 Laredo
  • Good news, I can help you with your wiring needs. First thing is to identify if your Jeep CJ-7 has separate or combined wiring. You will be able to tell this typically by if your taillight has an amber signal. I have linked a Help Article on wiring for your convenience. The 4-diode kit from Roadmaster # RM-152 will work for both combined and separate wiring, but if you have separate wiring you won't have function of the amber blinkers with this kit. If you prefer to still have function...

  • Is Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel LHSL311 Exact Replacement for 2016 Forest River Heritage Glen
  • The Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Silver # LHSL311 is a pretty popular option for trailer wheels like what you have on your 2016 Forest River Heritage Glen camper, it looks very similar to yours but it most likely is not an exact replacement. If what you have matches the appearance and dimensions (15" x 6" Rim with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern) this is going to fit and work just fine. There may be a few manufacturers that are making the exact same design...

  • Timbren Axle Less Kit for Trailer that Weighs 3,045 lbs
  • Since your trailer weighs 3,045 lbs when loaded the 3,500 lb Timbren Axle Less kit part # ASR35HDS05 would be perfect unless you though you were going to eventually loaded down beyond 3,500 lbs. Then you'd want the # TASR5200S03 which has the higher 5,200 lb capacity. If you end up with too high of a capacity your ride quality might be a bit rougher.

  • Equipment Need for Flat Towing a 1980 Jeep CJ-7
  • Neither Roadmaster nor Blue Ox have a frame mounted base plate option for your 1980 Jeep CJ-7, but there is a bolt-on base plate bracket kit, part # BX88230 which will require that the bumper be modified and strengthened in order to use the brackets. The tow bar includes the necessary safety cables. You'll need to use a tow bar that's compatible with the Blue Ox brackets, so the Stowmaster # RM-501 you referenced wouldn't be a good choice. I'd recommend going with the Blue Ox Acclaim,...
