Helpful Expert Reply:

You will want to cut the yellow and green wires and connect the ends with a yellow butt connector. Then attach a small length of wire to both butt connectors and attach the wires to the input of the diode with spade connectors and then attach the bare end of brake signal wire to the output of the diode with a spade connector. Then route the green brake signal wire through the firewall.

I have included a diagram of this installation for you to check out.

Actually our etrailer.com brand brake assemblies are rebranded AxleTek assemblies. So we have the 8k left and right assembly set #AKEBRK-8 which is most likely what you need but these are 12-1/4 inch in diameter by 3-3/8 inches wide and attach with a…

Your 265/70R17 size tire is around 31-1/2 inches in diameter. You want to make sure the tire cover you get is large enough and doesn't have to be stretched over the tire. I'd rather have one that's slightly loose than one that tears…

Hi Robert; hopefully your Roadmaster tow bar is one that attaches to direct-connect base plates as opposed to crossbar base plates; for example the 8,000 lb Roadmaster Sterling would be optimal. Assuming that, here is what you need to flat tow your…

The part you are referring to (Mopar's 68321424AB) was indeed a fix for certain models and years of Jeep Cherokee that were experiencing the dreaded "death wobble", but your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk does not fall under these years.…

Answer 9

Luckily enough, Jeep solved that death wobble problem, so you won't need the special wiring harness from Mopar. To flat tow your Cherokee Trailhawk, along with the #RM-522 Falcon All Terrain tow bar you'd looked at you'll need a base…

No, I am sorry I can not help you John. The steel cable you're needing isn't available. It connects inside the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System item #HM39530 so Hopkins does not offer a replacement.

I trust regular axles with leaf spring suspension more than torsion axles only because I can see what is going on with the suspension and can fix any issues should they arise. With a torsion axle though there really isn't any maintenance you have…

Answer 12

To allow for full articulation so you don't have to worry about the tires bottoming out int he wheel wells, I'd recommend going with a 15° down torsion axle. If the original axle was a 0°, this would raise the trailer up a bit. A…
