2008 Jeep Questions and Answers


  • Will the Thule Vertex 2 Bike Carrier # TH9028 fit a 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  • In order to determine if the Thule Vertex 2 Bike Carrier # TH9028 will clear the spare tire out back on your 2008 Jeep Wrangler you will need to take one important measurement. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on the hitch of your vehicle out to the furthest point out on your spare tire. Check out the FAQ article I attached on how to do this for further clarification. We have taken this measurement on similar Wranglers as yours and found it to be 6 inches, but

  • Dimensions of TrailerWare Wheel Well Liner Kit # TW8010050
  • After speaking with my contact at TrailerWare, I can confirm that the TrailerWare Wheel Well Liner Kit # TW8010050 comes in one 10-foot long by 4-foot wide roll that will need to be cut to fit your specific set of wheel wells. The number of wheel wells you can cover with this kit will depend on the size of the wheel wells themselves. I recommend measuring them to ensure the 40 square feet you will receive will be enough. The adhesive spray that is needed to apply the liner to your wheel w

  • Will the Replacement 2 Inch Hitch Adapter Y8890174 Fit a Yakima 1-1/4 BigHorn Bike Rack Y02405
  • I checked into this with Yakima to be certain, and although we do have a solution to convert your 1-1/4 inch BigHorn bike rack # Y02405 to a 2 inch shank, the # Y8890174 you referenced will not work for you. You will need to replace the entire 1-1/4 inch shank with a 2 inch shank, part # Y8880041. I also confirmed that both shanks use the same pin, so you would be ready to go once the smaller shank is swapped out.

  • I spoke with my contact at Bestop and she informed me that the Bestop Trektop NX Soft Top # B5682235 that you referenced comes with everything you would need for it to be installed on your 2008 Jeep Wrangler that does not have any soft top hardware.

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Roof Mount Cargo Basket RMCB02 Fit a 2008 Jeep Commander
  • The Rhino-Rack cargo basket, # RMCB02, will fit on crossbars that are up to 3-1/2 inches wide x 1-1/4 inches tall. And the crossbar spread needs to be 25 to 44 inches center to center between the bars. You will need to measure the crossbars on your 2008 Jeep Commander to determine fit. If you do not have a roof rack on your Jeep then you can add one. I have included a link to the roof rack main page for your vehicle. Since there are so many possible roof configurations you will need to make s

  • Tow Bar Wiring for 2008 Jeep Liberty Towed by RV with 4-Pole Flat Connector
  • There are a number of components required to safely and legally flat-tow a vehicle behind a motor home. I have included a link to an article that provides an overview of these parts, which include a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, tow bar wiring and a supplemental braking system. The wiring component you asked about is required to connect the RV lighting system (brake, tail and turn lights) to the towed vehicle lighting system, so that when you apply the brakes or turn signals on the R

  • Recommended Supplemental Cooler for 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  • A transmission cooler is not necessary for a manual transmission equipped vehicle. Because a manual transmission lacks lines running from the transmission to the radiator, there is no place to tap in a cooler. However, you might benefit from an oil cooler. We offer an Oil Cooler Kit, part # D15405 that could reduce your engine oil temperature by up to 50 degrees. The included sandwich adapter is thermostatically controlled, only allowing the oil to run through the heat exchanger if the oil te

  • Tongue Weight Capacity 2008 Jeep Compass
  • Although the Draw-Tite Class III # 75712 has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity, the capabilities of the hitch will be limited by the capabilities of the vehicle its installed on. If the vehicle manufacturers stated tongue weight capacity is lower than that of the hitch, you will need to abide by the lower rating. I cannot recommend exceeding Jeeps stated tongue weight capacity, as exceeding it could cause the attachment points between the vehicle and the hitch to fail. A better solution for

  • Brake Controller Installation on 2008 Grand Cherokee Diesel
  • According to my contact at Tekonsha, there is not any special procedure or considerations for a brake controller installation on Diesel equipped models versus the gas-engined counterparts. To install your brake controller, you will look for a light green wire bundled up under the dash or behind the drivers side kick panel that would be next to your left foot while driving. This wire will connect the brake controller output (blue wire) to the 7-way. The power (black wire), ground (white wire)

  • Will the Rage Trailer Hitch Mount Motorcycle Carrier Fit a 2008 Jeep Liberty
  • There are a couple of things to consider to determine if the Rage motorcycle carrier, # MX600, will work on your 2008 Jeep Liberty. First the Liberty needs to have a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver. If it does not, you can add one using # 75578. I have included a link to the instructions and a link to a video showing installation for you. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 500 pounds. This means that the combined weight of the motorcycle and carrier (the carrier weighs

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1990 Jeep Wrangler Behind a 2008 Jeep Commander
  • The two things you will want to do first before towing are to make sure the 2008 Jeep Commander has the capacity to tow 3,000 pounds and consult the Jeep Wrangler owners manual for the proper procedure for towing. For the Wrangler, you will need several parts to flat tow it. First, you will need base plates. There are 2 options depending on what bumper you have. For base plates to fit, you will need to have the U-channel bumper. If you have a different type of bumper it probably would be bes

  • Comparing Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitches for a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite are sister companies so trailer hitch # 75338 and # 87752 are virtually identical. They even share the same instructions which I have linked for you. I have also included a link to a video showing a typical installation for you to view. If you plan on doing some towing, I reocmmend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring there are 2 options. If the vehicle came with

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Jeep Rubicon
  • Without knowing everything you purchased I can just tell you all the parts you will need to flat-tow your 2008 Jeep Rubicon and you can purchase the missing pieces. The first thing you will need is a base plate kit for your vehicle. For that I would recommend you get a Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 1429-1 as long as you do not have any aftermarket bumpers, winches or guards. The RoadMaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576 that you referenced comes with safety cables, lighting wiring

  • Trailer Hitch and Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Carrying 5 Bikes
  • The trailer hitch that I would recommend for your 2008 Jeep Wrangler is the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # 13432. This is our most economical trailer hitch that has the same weight capacity as the other hitches for your vehicle. We have installed this hitch on a 2008 Jeep Wrangler so I attached the installation instructions and installation video for you to check out. Before choosing a bike rack you will want to do some measuring once you have the hitch installed. The Yakima Doubledown 5 Bi

  • Yakima Tube Adapter Recommendation for Carrying a GT Sanction on a Bike Rack
  • For bikes with odd shaped frames like your GT Sanction we recommend you get a frame adapter like the Yakima Frame Adapter Bar # Y02531. This product creates a straight top tube for bike racks to attach to by attaching to the seat post and handlebar stem. Check out the review video and installation instructions I attached to get an even better idea how it works.

  • Only Passenger Side Brake Light Works on 2008 Jeep Compass After Installing Trailer Wiring Harness
  • A bad ground can cause all sorts of problems, but I am not convinced this is a ground problem. However, it could be beneficial to try to move the ground location to see if that helps. Wiring harness # 118428 receives power for the trailer lights from the vehicle battery and only a little bit of power and signals from the vehicle tail light wiring. If the power wire is not connected, the harness should not work. Try disconnecting the harness from the vehicle tail lights and plug the tail l

  • Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack for 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Towing a Vintage Travel Trailer
  • I would recommend that you use an extra long ball mount like the Brophy Ball Mount, # BM20, for towing your small travel trailer, and then use a spare tire mounted bike rack for your bikes, like the Yakima Spare Time, # Y02598. You will need to make sure your bikes will clear the trailer tongue and you will have clearance to turn with the trailer hooked up. The Accessories on your specific trailer will make a big difference, so you would need to determine that before purchasing these items.

I have included some informational links on this bike rack for you to view. There are also a few other racks that will fit. I have included a link to those for you too. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the Tube Top adapter bar, # Y02531, for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I h

The Yakima SpareTime 2 Bike Carrier, part # Y02598, is a 2 bike rack. The Swagman XP 2 Bike Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack, part # S64920, is a 2 bike rack.

  • Bike Rack Recommendations For 2 Bikes For a 2008 Jeep Liberty
  • We have everything that you will need to add a bike rack to your 2008 Jeep Liberty. The first decision that you will need to make is if you want a trunk mounted bike rack or a hitch mounted bike rack. A trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule Raceway 2 Bike Rack, # TH9001, will attach to your vehicle using 4 retractable cables that attach to the top and bottom edges of your rear hatch and it has rubber pads that sit on your rear hatch to support the rack. I have attached the installation inst

  • Transporting Motorcycle with 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  • Two factors will determine if you can use a hitch mounted motorcycle carrier with your 2008 Jeep Wrangler. 1. The weight bearing capability (tongue weight capacity) of your hitch. 2. The amount of clearance between the hitch pin hole in your receiver and the furthest rearward point of your spare tire. All of the aftermarket hitches available for the Wrangler have a maximum tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. This means that the weight of the bike plus the weight of the carrier cannot

  • Roof Rack System for 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Factory Hardtop
  • According to Yakima, the drip rails on that factory hard top are not structural. When used in this installation, the crossbars are intended for use with skis or snowboards only. The maximum allowable load would be 6 skis or 4 snowboards. When used within this limited scope, the drip rail mounts will not damage the rain gutter or drip rail. If used for any other purpose, they would most likely be damaged. If you decide to install the Y00101 Raingutter Towers and 58 inch load bars, keep in min

  • How is Roadmaster Tow Bar Attached to Base Plate on 2008 Jeep Patriot
  • The arms of the Falcon 5250 attach via a linch pin to the towbar side of the quick disconnect. The towbar side of the quick disconnect connects to the base plate side of the quick disconnect which is in turn bolted to the base plate on you Patriot. Both halves of the quick disconnect are secured by another linch pin. Take a look at the photo I edited for you. The Roadmaster Falcon 5250 has been discontinued for a few years, but Roadmaster tells me that is was pretty similar to their current F

The quick disconnect base bar will include 2 pins to secure the tow bar arms and the top adapter plate to attach the crossbar to the base plates on your 2008 Jeep Liberty.
