Supplemental Braking Recommendation for 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
I have a 1212 Jeep JKU with Hopkins HM56200 light wiring, Is it possible to use InvisiBrake With this set up. Also, I think I need a battery disconnect when towing with key in acc. Wire brake directly?

Expert Reply:
With the Hopkins tow bar lighting kit part # HM56200 installed on your 2012 Jeep Wrangler you could use a permanent install tow bar braking kit pretty easily. I'd recommend the SMI DUO kit # SM99251 though. This is our installers favorite kit for braking. It's the easiest to install and works the best. The Invisibrake works great too but the install is very involved.
I attached an install video for the DUO on a similar Wrangler as yours as well. You will also need the brake lite relay # RM-88400.
