  • 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.

  • How to Find the Stop Light Wire to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2008 Jeep Liberty
  • Finding the correct wire on the brake switch for a brake controller red wire is pretty easy. You will need a circuit tester like # 3808 if you do not already have one. You will use the circuit tester to probe the wires on the brake switch. The wire you need will show a signal ONLY when the brake pedal is pressed and not at any other time. If a wire also shows a signal when the head lamps are on or turn signals engaged it is not the correct wire. You need a dedicated brake light wire. If y

I would select the XG12 chains due to the large price difference, but the K-Summit chains are much easier to install, see video installations. If you deci

  • Options for Installing a Tow Ready Custom Wiring Harness # 118253 on a 2011 Honda Pilot
  • The reason we do not recommend that you use this product on a 2011 Honda Pilot is that factory cut-out in the rear fascia causes fit issues with the included mount. However, like you said there have been a number of people who have made this product work on their 2011 Pilots using different modifications and mounting brackets. One person was able to use a Mounting Bracket, part # PK12711U, and make it work for him. It sounds like he used it as a backing plate to attach the 7-way from the # 11

  • Light Kit Recommendation to Flat Tow a 2008 Buick Enclave

The vehicle manufacturer advises against splicing into the vehicle wiring so I do not recommend wiring in diodes or a separate bulb kit.

  • Correct Tow Wiring Harness for 2008 Jeep Liberty
  • If your Liberty was equipped with the tow package, it will have the 7-way trailer connector on the rear of the vehicle.

Installation is pretty simple. Access the rear of the tail light assemblies, plug the connectors inline with the existing connections behind the tail lights, and run the power wire
