Jeep Liberty Vehicle Tow Bar Brake System

Speaker 1: Today on our 2009 Jeep Liberty, we're going to be taking a look at the SMI Air Force One braking system for motor homes with air brakes. That's going to be part number SM99243.Now keep in mind you will need a base plate, tow bar, wiring kit, as well as a braking system for your flat tow setup. So our Air Force One is going to be a braking system for motor homes that have air brakes on it. It's going to be a completely proportional braking system, which means that whenever we apply the brakes on our motor home, they're going to be applied to our car in the same amount of intensity.Now it's going to be a really out of the way system, and it's going to be a permanent install that we're not going to have to do any kind of adjusting or take anything in or out whenever we're not using it. The way it's going to apply our brakes is there's going to be an air actuator that's going to clamp to our brake pedal. And whenever we apply the brakes in our motor home, it's going to have a cable that's anchored to the firewall and it's going to pull the brake pedal applying the brakes.Now the operating unit is going to be rather small, and we're going to be able to mount it right underneath the hood.

SMI Air Force One Braking System Installation - 2012 Jeep Liberty

Speaker 1: Today on this 2012 Jeep Liberty we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the SMI Air Force One supplemental braking system for motor homes with air brakes, part number SM99243. In this particular case we're working with a 2007 Fleetwood Revolution motor home on a Spartan chassis.The Air Force One is a great solution for those of you that need a supplemental braking system to help you keep safe and legal when flat towing your Jeep Liberty behind your motor home that has air brakes. The greatest thing about the Air Force One is that there's only one difference that you have after you've already hooked your Liberty up than how you did it before and that is your air line umbilical between your motor home and your Liberty. You'll just simple remove the dust cap that protects the fitting on the back of the motor home, you'll push in the hose, pull back and make sure it's secure, and we'll do the same on the Liberty. Just like that you're now ready to tow. The Air Force One even comes with a breakaway switch and a cable to attach to your motor home so in the unlikely event that your Liberty ever became disconnected from the motor home the breakaway switch would become pulled and it would apply the brakes in the Liberty, bringing it to a stop.Here's what the SMI Air Force One looks like installed on our Liberty.

Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Braking System Installation - 2012 Jeep Liberty

Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Jeep Liberty, we'll be reviewing and installing the Roadmaster Even Brake braking system, part number: RM-9400. And we'll be using the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for towed vehicles, part number: RM-88400.This is a portable, easy to adjust braking system that uses an inertia sensor in the towed vehicle to detect deceleration. Like many other modern brake systems, this one is a proportional braking system that ensures that your towed vehicle's brakes are applied with an intensity that matches the slowing or stopping action of your towing setup. The result is improved control, better stopping and less wear on the brakes of both your vehicle and your RV.This system has an easier install than some of your others that require many electrical connections and tapping into your vehicle's systems. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, then this kit will be a good one for you.The included monitor mounts in your RV and keeps you updated on the status of the Even Brake. This wireless system relies on the ICX transmitter, which is mounted in the towed car to send signals to the monitor.

Speaker 1: Today on our 2007 Jeep Liberty, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking system, part number RM-9400. Now our Even Brake is a portable, proportionate breaking system, that's going to allow us to flat tow our vehicle behind our RV. It's going to use an inertial sensor to detect the vehicle's braking or deceleration, and then it's going to match and activate the brakes with the same intensity and at the same time as you push the brakes on your motor home.It has a built in high performance air compressor, connection to actuator right here, and that's going to assure the system is ready for each stop. Now the Even Brake has a universal design, and it's going to work very well with many different applications. The feet, as well as the brake pedal clamp itself are fully adjustable and they're going to fit most vehicles. The rear brace is fully adjustable, so you have a nice secure content point against your seat.

Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit Installation - 2004 Jeep Liberty

Speaker 1: Today on our 2004 Jeep Liberty we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Brake Light Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles, part number RM-88400.The main reason why you're going to want a brake light relay is that when we're going down the road towing our Jeep and we have our turn signals on, we're getting the correct signal. But, when we hit the brakes in our motor home and it applies the brakes on our supplemental braking system, the light's going to go solid and it's not going to blink anymore. Now, the reason why it goes solid is because it's overriding the signal from our RV, which is going to cause a lot of safety issues when we're driving down the road.Now, the brake light relay is going to install inside the car. Let's go ahead and make sure that it's working properly. As you can see, we have our turn signal on from our towing vehicle. If I step into our Jeep and push on the brake pedal, we can see that it's still blinking, so we know the relay is doing its job.

Speaker 1: Today on this 2012 Jeep Liberty, we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Brake Light Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles, part number RM-88400.When we don't have a brake light relay installed on our towed vehicle when we are towing it behind our motor home and our turn signal is on and then our brakes are depressed, we have the issue of our brake lights coming on on our towed vehicle overriding the turn signal from our motor home.Now with the brake light relay installed and operating when we step on the brakes on our RV with our turn signal on, our brake signal does not override the turn signal function when the brakes are applied inside of our tow vehicle with the supplemental braking system.Now that we've gone over some features, we'll show you how to get it installed. To begin our install, we'll find ourselves underneath the dash on the driver's side of our vehicle. We find this fabric panel that sits above where our feet rest while we're driving. We'll need to remove this. We have two plastic rivets. The way these work, use a flathead screwdriver, twist out the center section, and come behind it, and pull out the entire piece.

If you look at the jeep you can see that we have a turn signal working, being powered by the towing vehicle. Now, as I step on the break peddle, you notice that it goes solid, you don't want this to happen. This is why we need a Roadmaster Break-Light Relay Kit. After we have it installed, this will allow the break system to work with the turn signal as it would normally. Let's go ahead and take a look at the parts that come with the kit.

The first thing we need to do is go ahead and get our vehicle ready to install our braking system. To do that we're going to remove the seat and pretty much gut the vehicle. There's a small panel on the outside here where the strap goes into. We need to go ahead and loosen that up and remove the bolts. There's a catch inside of here so it kind of helps to push down and wiggle it around and pull it loose this way. Then you have two snaps here and here. You just pull it right up. Then when you remove this torques bolt right here for our seat belt.
