• Base Plate for 2014 Jeep Wrangler With 1 D-Ring Bumper Mounts
  We have exactly what you need to flat tow your 2014 Jeep Wrangler with an off-road bumper that has 1" D-ring brackets, the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 1" Thick # RM-035-1. As the name of the product states, however, they will require a Roadmaster tow bar as there are no adapters to use with a Blue Ox tow bar. For this I highly recommend checking out the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 because it has long arms...

  To flat tow your Jeep Wrangler JK behind your motorhome, you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, tail light wiring harness, and a supplemental braking system.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 or 2009 Wrangler Using a Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar
  It sounds like you have a Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 that came with your Class A motorhome. The Falcon 2 is rated up to 6,000 pounds so you'll want to make sure your Ram doesn't exceed that. Depending on how its equipped it very well may. Also, make sure your RV is rated high enough to tow the Ram. What you need on your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 is a base plate kit that will connect to the tow bar. If your truck is a MegaCab # 277-1A will work for you and if you the truck isn't a MegaCab...

• Best Flat Towing Setup for a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with D-Ring Bumper Mounts or OEM Rubicon Bumper
  To setup any vehicle for flat towing the basic parts that you need are a Base Plate Kit, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, Vehicle Tow Bar Wiring, a Supplemental Braking System, and most likely a High-Low Adapter. Since your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has the 3/4 inch D-Ring bumper mounts you won't need a base plate kit. Instead you will need to use the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts # RM-035 with a Roadmaster Tow Bar. I recommend using the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 as it is...

• How to Connect a 6-Way from RV to Flat Tow 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  As you can see in the attached diagram, a 6-way should have 12V power and the other function is usually a brake controller output. I recommend checking your fuses to determine if one has blown and that is causing the 12V not to show power; your RV's owner's manual should have the fuse locations for you to take a look at. If you do need to run a wire you can do so from your RV's battery by using the right amount of 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 with Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05745-10 and...

  I'm glad no one was hurt in the loss of your Liberty's brave fit against the cement truck, but don't worry, I can help you equip your Wrangler with the proper products to get it flat tow ready.

• Which Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Will Fit My 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4x4
  I would first recommend checking your owners manual or with the Jeep dealer on the proper procedure for towing the vehicle. Some vehicles might need to be equipped with a transmission lube pump, an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect or free-wheeling hubs before they can be towed.

• Constant Red Light on the Hayes Energize XPC Trailer Brake Controller Part HA81745
  The red indicator light on your Hayes Energize XPC Trailer Brake Controller part HA81745 should only illuminate when the brakes on the vehicle are pressed or the manual override on the control is engaged. If the light has constant power then it would appear that either the red stop light switch wire on the controller is connected to the wrong circuit or it is shorting out to another circuit. The correct wire you will need to connect the red wire on the controller to is the one on the...

• Recommendation For Flat Towing 2009 Jeep Wrangler Behind RV
  Yes, either braking system will work. Both the Blue Ox Patriot, Item # BLU37TR, and the Roadmaster InvisiBrake System, Item # RM-8700, are good options. Both will need power connections so you can connect the Patriot with a 12V Outlet Kit like Item # RM-9332 and the InvisiBrake will connect directly to the battery. Of the two, I recommend the Roadmaster InvisiBrake System, Item # RM-8700, because it is a one-time install and then you are good to go. Because you will need to disconnect...

• Supplemental Braking System and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  Unfortunately, flat towing a vehicle can be expensive because there a number of parts involved and many of them are pretty costly. From our experience the surge brake style supplemental braking systems are not up to par with the electric systems like the Roadmaster InvisiBrake # RM-8700. The braking power is just inadequate. Using the InvisiBrake will give you great, reliable braking and once it's installed you never have to worry about it. With your 2009 Jeep Wrangler you'll also need...

• How to Find the Stop Light Switch Wire on a 2014 GMC Savana Van
  The color of the stop light switch wire on a 2014 GMC Savana Van may not remain constant across different years or chassis but it will still need to be accessed prior to entering the body control module (BCM). In order to find the correct wire you will need to test each of them with a circuit tester at the back of the brown connector for the one that only has power while the brake pedal is depressed. If you cannot find the correct wire then you can use the RoadMaster Stop Light Switch Kit...

• Cost-Effective Flat Towing Setup for 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK with 7/8 inch D-Rings
  We do have some flat towing equipment for you to get your 2009 Jeep Wrangler to Jeep events and while there are cost effective options, flat towing equipment in general can get a bit pricey so you'll need to keep that in mind.

Since you have the D-Rings on your bumper I recommend using the Roadmaster D-Ring Adapters # RM-035 for 3/4" thick D-Rings or # RM-035-1 for 1" thick D-Rings. Both of...

• Will The Blue Ox Acclaim Tow Bar Work With A 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  Hey Tom, It looks like the GVWR of an 08 Jeep Wrangler is around 4,700lbs so you would be under the 5,000lb capacity of the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330. You can have your Wrangler weighed at a highway weigh station to confirm. To connect this tow bar to your Wrangler you'll need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1126.

• Parts Needed to Tow 2007 Jeep Wrangler JK with Blue Ox D-Ring Adapter Kit
  As long as you've got an aftermarket bumper with D-ring plates at least 5/8" thick, you can use the Blue Ox Aftermarket Bumper Adapter - 1" Pin # BX88358 to flat tow your 2007 Jeep Wrangler. To complete your flat towing setup you'll also need a compatible tow bar, tow bar wiring, safety cables, supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter.

• Parts Needed to Flat-Tow a 2008 Jeep Wrangler with Manual Transmission
  In order to flat-tow your 2008 Jeep Wrangler with a manual transmission you will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, supplemental braking system, wiring harness, and possible high-low adapter. None of our tow bars come with base plate kits so you will need to purchase both in order to attach your vehicle to the motorhome unless your Jeep has d-rings which can be used for towing in which case you would need an adapter. For a non-binding tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon...

  First, you will want to make sure that your 2010 Jeep Wrangler will not exceed your towing vehicle's maximum towing capacity.

You will also want to check your owner's manual for instructions on recreational towing for your vehicle. If you find it is safe to tow your Wrangler behind your car, then you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, braking system, tow light wiring, and wiring...

• No Light with Brake Pedal on the Tekonsha PowerTrac Part # 39523
  It sounds like you are saying that the green light on the brake controller only illuminates when the manual override is engaged and not with brake pedal. If this is the case then the problem is more than likely caused by connecting to the wrong stop light switch wire. The correct stop light switch wire that you will need to splice the red wire on your Tekonsha PowerTrac part # 39523 into is the one that only receives power when the brake pedal is depressed. You can also use the center high...
