Expert Answers about Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited


  • Recommended Bike Rack For 75lb Electric Bike On 2018 Jeep Wrangler With Spare Tire On Back
  • On your 2018 Jeep Wrangler with a spare tire on the back, you really only have one option for a bike rack that can safely carry your 75lb Ebike. I would go with the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HLY64FR. This is the only bike carrier available that has a weight capacity of 80lbs per bike. It is also one of the only bike racks that offers a distance of 12" between the rack and the receiver's hitch pin hole. This carrier has a tilting...

  • Does Aftermaket Hitch for 2018 Jeep Wrangler Have Advantage over OEM Hitch
  • Going with a different hitch on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL like with the Draw Tite part # DT78MR has a few advantages like higher towing capacities but also this hitch has a much longer hitch tube so it's easier to fit fit a bike rack and have spare wheel/tire clearance.

  • Demco Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with Steel Bumper Kit and Winch
  • The Steel Bumper Group/Package of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon has the removable end caps to convert to a stubby along with being winch ready. The Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519339 is compatible with this and would work well. Demco has several excellent tow bar options that you can use: Commander III # DM9511013 is rated for 6,000 pounds and is a non-binding tow bar which makes hookup and disconnect easy even on uneven terrain. Excali-Bar II # DM9511009 is rated for 10,500...

  • Installing a Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler
  • Your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler with the factory towing package does have a factory 7-way which you can wire the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 to but you'll need to use the install kit part # 5506 as well to provide the connections needed since your vehicle does not come with a prewired option. You will need to run a length of 10 gauge wire (part # 10-1-1) from the brake output circuit of the controller to the brake output circuit of the 7-way (blue wire). The # 10-1-1 is sold by the foot so you...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with Roadmaster Tow Bar
  • The Roadmaster Stowmaster Tow Bar # RM-501 wouldn't be the tow bar to get to flat tow your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL based on the base plate kits that are available for your vehicle. There are only direct connect base plate kits for your vehicle available like the # RM-521453-5 which require tow bars that mount in a hitch on the vehicle like the Roadmaster Falcon # RM-520. The base plate kit is what provides the connection point on the vehicle for the tow bar to attach to. For lighting/safety...

  • How to Carry 2 e-Bikes When Towing Camper with 2018 Jeep Rubicon JL Unlimited
  • I do have a potential solution for you, however if the trailer manufacturer lists a 100 pound tongue weight capacity for the rear hitch on the Intech Rover, you won't be able to transport both your e-bikes on the trailer. You are always going to be limited by the weakest component, so even if the hitch itself is rated for more (or you replace it with an even stronger trailer hitch), you still need to adhere to the 100 pound capacity listed in the trailer specs. Your best option for transporting...

  • 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation
  • For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL Rubicon the T-One 4-way harness part # 118786 is a confirmed fit that will not cause any dash lights to come on. This would be a great solution. This is our most reliable trailer wiring brand so we recommend it the highest. It installs by plugging inline with your taillight assemblies which allows it to function without the vehicle wiring even knowing it's there.

  • Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
  • The towing mirrors I recommend for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited are the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS69ZR. These mirrors are easy to install and will do a great job of providing a wider field of view so you can see your trailer and what's going on around. You should note they don't make any custom clip-on towing mirrors for the Jeep Wrangler so the above universal type are the only option but they do work great.

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
  • The only bike rack solution we are going to be able to offer at this time for a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with the spare tire mounted light/camera is going to be a hitch solution. You'd need a hitch installed like the etrailer.com hitch part # e98856 and a bike rack with plenty of clearance to fit past the spare like the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR which would work well.

  • Roof Rack for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL that Can Allow Thule Hullavator Carrier to Install
  • The Yakima Jetstream roof rack part numbers # Y00425, # Y53TR, and # Y00226 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL and it by itself easily has capacity and bar length to carry two of the assisted Thule Hullavator roof racks part # TH898. You'll need to check to make sure the hardtop of your Jeep has the capacity for your two kayaks and the weight of each of the Hullavators as well which weighs right at 40 lbs.

  • Recommended Tow Mirrors For 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • Since we do not offer a custom fit tow mirror I highly recommend the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors # KS3990 due to it's heavy duty ratcheting strap system that mounts snuggly to your factory mirrors and the rubber padding to prevent scratches on your factory mirror housing. I included a video of the K-Source # KS3990 for you to take a look at.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
  • For your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit #RM-521453-5. This base plate kit is confirmed to fit your Jeep with the factory bumper and will work perfectly with your existing Falcon 2 Tow Bar. When installing the base plates, you will likely need to trim some fascia to allow enough room for the receivers (see attached pictures). I have attached the complete installation instructions that you can also look through. In order to flat tow your Jeep JL Wrangler,...

  • Recommended Flat-Tow Wiring Harness for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
  • The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 is the best flat-tow trailer wiring harness we offer for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. This is our go to option here at etrailer as it is a complete kit that comes with everything you need. The umbilical cord is super durable and it's coiled so it won't drag the ground. The best part of all is that there is an extra circuit you can use if needed like for the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles...

  • E-Bike Rack that Can Be Used at Rear of Flat Towed Vehicle
  • This is a really good question. So at the back of a vehicle that is being flat towed there's a bit of side to side sway as the vehicle works to stay in a straight line. This eventually will fatigue bike racks if they are reinforced for this. So the EasyFold is not rated for this application which is why it's not listed for it. The best rack that is rated for this the Hollywood Racks RV Rider # HLY64FR which uses a similar clamp design. Check out the review video I attached for more info...

  • Comparing Universal and Custom Fit Trailer Wiring for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
  • If it were in your situation and had just bought a brand new vehicle...I would return the universal kit and go with the custom fit # 118786 for your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. Your Jeep is brand new and I'd rather install something that doesn't require "cutting" into factory taillight wiring. But if you are in a hurry and need trailer wiring ASAP the # C59496 will work just as well once installed. It will just be a much more involved install process.

  • Front Hitch and Winch Plate that Fits 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
  • I wish we did, but at this time we do not have a winch mount for the factory front or rear bumper of your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited. Only solution we'd have is a front hitch like the part # 65079 with a hitch mounted winch plate like the part # BDW20011.

  • Recommended Base Plate Kit for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited with Metal Skid Shield
  • The base plate kit I recommend for a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521453-5. I have actually installed this kit myself on a similar Gladiator model and it went pretty smoothly. The hardest part is trimming the metal skid shield but you can see how this is done in the video below. For a tow bar, the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676 is a great option.

  • I attached a picture that shows the direction that the AirBedz XUV Air Mattress # 341031 needs to face when installed in the back of a vehicle. This is the same orientation as what you saw in the review video you mentioned. I attached the link to it as well where you can see it installed and reviewed in a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited.
