Expert Answers about Jeep TJ


  • Flat Tow and Trailer Wiring Needed for 2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ
  • The wiring needed for flat towing and trailer towing are going to be two separate harnesses. Let's start with the wiring needed to flat tow your 2003 Jeep TJ behind your RV. For this you can use Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-154. The Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-154, is designed for RVs with a 4-way flat. If your RV is equipped with a 7-way, you will also need the Blue Ox 7-Wire to 6-Wire Coiled Electrical Cord, # BX88206. In this case you...

  • Recommended Tow Bar Wiring Harness For 1997 Jeep TJ
  • Thanks for the pictures! The Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BLU79FR you were looking at has square connectors that will not plug into the connectors you have on your 1997 Jeep TJ. Since we do not offer a custom wiring kit that will plug into the connectors you have on your Jeep, I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 which will splice into your factory harness and the included diodes will protect your factory wiring from feedback or damage from your tow...

  • Which Trailer Wiring Harness To Use On A 2000 Jeep TJ Wrangler Sport
  • Both the Tow Ready T-One Wiring Harness # 118409 and the Hopkins Plug-N-Tow Wiring Harness # 42615 will work on your 2000 Jeep TJ Wrangler Sport. The difference is what you mentioned, how they install to the vehicle. The Tow Ready harness uses T-One connectors that will plug into connectors on each side of the vehicle. The connectors are located under the Jeep, behind the rear bumper. The white ground wire will need to be attached to a good,clean ground on the vehicles metal frame. The...

  • What Type of Base Plate Does Curt Tow Bar Attach to for 1998 Jeep Wrangler
  • This Curt tow bar part # C19745 is designed to be used with the included brackets that would attach directly to a vehicle bumper/frame. It's not a very sophisticated or easy to use setup as most vehicles don't have steel bumpers rated for flat towing. For flat towing a 1998 Jeep TF I'd rather recommend a base plate kit like the # RM-521424-5 and a tow bar like the part # RM-501.

  • What 4-way Wiring Harness do you Recommend for my 2006 Jeep Wrangler

  • Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for Flat Towing 2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ
  • Most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. If you want to go with a permanent install style I recommend the Air Force One # SM99243 again. It's the best system to use on a coach with air brakes. A lot of the other systems...

It will work with vehicles with up to a 4 inch lift. The diameter of the spring 5-3/8 inches and 4 1/2 inches tall. I added an instruction link for you as well.

  • Braking system solution for 1999 Jeep Wrangler Flat Towed by 2013 Ford F150

It is also portable so it can be moved to different vehicles very easily. It includes a remote that you can use in your Ford F150 or any other vehicle with a 12 power supply. The remote allows you to receive feedback from the unit as well as be able to adjust the sensitivity while you drive. This...

  • Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for 2001 Jeep TJ to Connect with ReadyBrute Tow Bar
  • I do have a couple of options for you, however I checked with my contact at Blue Ox and unfortunately there isn't a way to use the Adapter Lugs # BX88357 for your 2001 Jeep TJ Off-Road Bumper with a ReadyBrute Tow Bar. If you already have the ReadyBrute then your best option will be to go with a standard base plate kit like the Blue Ox # BX1120. With this installed you could then add the Base Plate Adapter # BX88297 to make them compatible with the ReadyBrute. The other option is to...

  • Supplemental Braking System for 2003 Jeep Wrangler that is Flat Towed
  • The Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR is a great supplemental braking system for your 2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ that is getting flat towed. It's very easy to use and install and uses an inertia sensor to detect how hard you are applying the tow vehicle brakes and apply a similar intensity to the tow vehicle brakes. This would work great with a magnetic tow bar lighting solution like the Optronics part # TL21RK and would not require a brake light relay or anything else.
