Flat Towing 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon With Bumper That Has Roadmaster Tow Bar Bracket Kit

Question

Question:

Hi, 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon I have a new jeep, with a rockhard aluminum front bumper that has roadmaster brackets to accept a roadmaster tow bar. I like the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar, need a supplemental braking system, and something to work the lights in my tow vehicle. Thanks

The Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar # RM-676 is a great choice for your new 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon; it will attach to the Roadmaster Tow Bar Bracket Kit on your Rock Hard Aluminum 4x4 Front Bumper and has integrated LED lights as well as a plug and safety cables so it offers the most convenience among the tow bar options.

For a wiring kit to operate your Jeep's lights, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 4-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15247 or to add a 6-way plug, the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. As for a supplemental braking system I highly recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play # SM99251 for this. This is a proportional braking system which is a one-time install which you can leave in so you'll never have to deactivate or reactivate it. You will need to use Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751490 on an '18 Wrangler Unlimited with your supplemental braking system.
