Question:
Can you please recommend a trailer brake controller for my 2005 Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon? I need a 7-pin for my trailer. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
For your 2005 Jeep TJ Unlimited Rubicon I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR. This proportional brake controller has a 3-Axis accelerometer which allows you to mount the main unit in any position out of sight which means it won't be taking up space in your Jeep. The control knob can mount anywhere in your vehicle and allows for fast and easy adjustment. You will also need the Universal Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED69FR to complete the installation.
In order to add a 7-way connection to your Jeep, you will first need a 4-way. If you don't already have one, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118409. Once this is installed, you will need the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. This kit comes with everything you need to add a 7-way to your Jeep.
If you have the factory 7-way plug then all you need is the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket, Chrysler/Dodge OEM Plug Adapter # HM40975-11933.
I have attached several installation and review videos for your reference.
