Expert Answers about Jeep Wrangler


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for a 2019 Jeep Wrangler
  • I recommend going with the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98856 for your 2019 Jeep Wrangler because it has a longer receiver portion (for more clearance) and a matte black finish that helps hide scratches much better than the glossy finish that is popular with other trailer hitches. When we installed this on a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited we found that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost part of the bumper measured 2-1/2" (see attached installation video)....

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2001 Jeep Wrangler with Factory Bumper
  • For your 2001 Jeep Wrangler with a stock bumper the best base plate kit is the Roadmaster part # RM-521424-5 which is the easiest to use and has the removable arm design like you are wanting. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For...

  • Which Dual Hitch Adapter Has the Highest Tongue Weight Capacity
  • The dual hitch adapter we carry with the highest tongue weight capacity is the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter part # RM-077-6 for 6" rise or part # RM-077-8 for 8" rise. They both have a 400 lb tongue weight capacity. Please note that this adapter is designed for flat towing only. If you can give me a better idea of what you are using the adapter for we may have alternative options if the above will not work.

  • Recommendation for Good Looking Aftermarket Bumper for 2016 Jeep Wrangler to be Used with Tow Bar
  • For your 2016 Jeep Wrangler I really like the rugged and durable look of the Rampage Mass Articulation Front Recovery Bumper # RA88509. The bumper features D-rings to let you perform recovery operations, a winch plate for simple winch mounting, and integrated receptacles to let you relocate your factory fog lights if you want to. None of our aftermarket bumpers including the Rampage Mass Articulation Bumper are designed to be attached directly to a tow bar for flat towing applications,...

  • Flat Towing 1997 Jeep Wrangler Automatic
  • Yes, the Jeep Wrangler (1997-2021) is the most popular flat tow vehicle among RVers. Thanks to its modest size, the Wrangler is a great option to pull behind both Class A and Class C motorhomes. The Wrangler has no speed or distance restrictions when being flat towed. Plus, both manual and automatic transmission models can be safely towed. First with the base plates, I suggest the Roadmaster EZ5, # RM-521424-5 if you have either a U-channel bumper or a double tube bumper. If you have...

  • Tow Bar Lighting Recommendation for 2017 Jeep Wrangler
  • For tow bar lighting for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle.

This will provide you with a great looking roof rack with lightweight aluminum bars that will cut through the wind for a nice, quiet ride.

  • Connecting Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519292 to Demco Commander Tow Bar
  • I spoke with my contact at Demco regarding the Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519292 for your Jeep Wrangler and existing Demco Tow Bar. My contact says it sounds like you have the Demco Commander Tow Bar, which features the smaller mounting holes that you mentioned. The base plate kit you purchased actually includes all the pieces you need to adapt them to this tow bar so a separate clevis or adapter is not needed. At the top of page 6 in the installation instructions it walks through how...

  • Spare Tire Cover for a 2010 Jeep Wrangler with 255/70-18 Tire
  • For a spare tire cover that will fit the 255/70-18 tire on your 2010 Jeep Wrangler I recommend using either the Rampage Display Spare Tire Cover part # RA783235 or the Rampage Spare Tire Cover for Jeep part # RA773215. They are both made out of a 19-oz Jeep soft top fabric which will do an excellent job of protecting your tire from uv rays which should be your utmost concern. I have attached a photo of the latter installed for you.

  • Will Roadmaster InvisiBrake Braking System Work on 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  • Yes, the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 referenced in your question will fit and work well with your 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This is a really nice system that will give you real-time braking in the Wrangler. The actuator box installs permanently so there is no need for removal or adjustments as you transition from flat towing to everyday driving with the Jeep (and vice versa). I have attached an installation video on a later model Jeep Wrangler that...

  • The Saris Bones Hitch Mount Tilting Rack # SA883 is a basic 3 bike rack that will give you 9-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the upright bar. If you have a spare tire on the back, you will want to check this measurement. This rack has anti-sway straps. It doe not come with locks, so I recommend getting a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes. This rack also comes with an anti-rattle pin. With hanging bike racks, I recommend using an adapter bar like the Swagman...
