Where to Run Breakaway Wire on 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Manual
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 10/06/2025
Question:
Hello, I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon Recon with a manual transmission. The hole with the grommet to pass the breakaway wire through is used for the clutch pedal rod. Do you have any suggestions for another location to route this wire? Thank you

Hey Richard, without being able to look at your vehicle and see I would have to recommend drilling a new hole in the firewall and putting a grommet in the hole for the breakaway wire to pass through for your Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR.

Hey Richard, how did drilling a new hole in the firewall work out for routing the breakaway wire on your Wrangler? Your update could make it easier for others setting up the Blue Ox Patriot in a similar way.
