Hey y’all, I have a 2018 JK wrangler 2 door, I purchased a towing kit and installed everything properly, once I hooked the lights up from my trailer to the Jeep, the lights on the trailer weren’t working properly like it had a bad ground. I redid the lights on my trailer thinking that was the...

In two weeks we will travel from TX to OR and google takes us through the mountains. We will be towing the 5x8 cargo trailer from Uhaul. I have experience towing the jeep behind our class a motorhome so i know how to use the transmission and am very familiar with wind/speed effects. What I am...

I am adding electric brakes to a small (4'x6') utility trailer that I tow (1998 TJ, manual 4.0L), for safety and peace of mind. Where do the wires from the trailer brakes connect to the Jeep? Is there already a brake controller connector in the vehicle to plug into, and if so where is that? What...

So my 2018 JKU V-6 just returned from a 2000 mile, 2 week long, trip pulling a Rockwood GeoPro 19FBS travel trailer. I was mostly in the mountains of NC and WV. I have done all I will do to improve my Wrangler. It fought valiantly however the frontal area of the travel trailer was just too much...

I have 4-door 2020 Wrangler Unlimited (JL). With the towing capacity of 3,500 pounds, what's the downside of towing above that limit on short trips? I have a enclosed car trailer (@2,700 pounds) and a Model A (@2,300) pounds that I'd like to take to events within 50-60 miles. Will it be...

Hey everyone, I have a 2011 2 door JK. I want to tow a small motorcycle 200 miles. I was wondering if this is safe or even a feasible option with a 2 door. What equipment would I need other than a hitch receiver? Are there any other special things I should take into consideration? Thanks!

Greetings! First post to the forum ... I know this topic has been written about and discussed ad nauseam, but I'm getting so much conflicting info ... I have a 2017 Jeep Wrangler 4D Sahara, and the gear ratio is 3.2. The towing capacity is 2,000 pounds. I'm considering buying an Aliner camper...

I notice all the wiring kits require a hot wire ran to the battery. What is the reason for this, does anyone know? My jeep has traditional halogen tail lights and my trailer has LED's. Not sure why the wiring would need the extra power from the battery.

Does anybody have a flat tow bar they would recommend for towing behind my truck?

Hi all, I'm new so forgive me if this has come up and I missed it. I recently purchase a small light weight ( < 1000lbs loaded) off road trailer and noticed that when towing it at freeway speeds, the front of my jeep tended to feel like it was floating a bit. I haven't measured the rear sag...

Hi — I’ve had my 2001 TJ Wrangler since it was new. I’ve been all over in it but it only has just over 100K miles on it and thought I’d like to travel more with it. In fact, since I’m a retired widow, I’ve decided to sell the house and buy a camper and just drive all over the country! The...

After years of casually looking for a camper, I found one that was too good to pass up, less than a mile from home. I did some research, mostly here at WF, when I was looking to see what my TJ could handle. I thought I'd be oaky with this one, but after getting some comments from others, both...

I tow a small camper, tongue weight about 300#. I use a WD hitch but would like stiffen the rear a little more. I installed Firestone Airbags on my JK and they worked great. Has anyone found a product similar for the JL? I do not want or need need a lift kit, just a little help for the soft...

I’m guessing this has been asked over and over again, but bare with me. I own a 2015 2dr Wrangler Sport. My family and I are looking to purchase our first pop up camper. We thought... what vechicle could possibly be better to take camping and explore some back roads than the Jeep? Well... as...

I'm looking to regear my 2017 JKU from a 3.21 to a 3.73 strictly for towing purposes. I don't currently plan to but larger tires on but if I do in the future, I wouldn't go higher than 33's. I am moving to Alaska and will be towing a 5 x 8 cargo trailer with me. The trailer itself weighs 1,000...

Hi folks, looking for some advice on what to choose. I have a 2013 JKUR and tow trailers in the summer, just under the max weight 2500 to 3200 depending on the trailer. Want to give myself a better ride and a little height, I don't do an rock crawling, just service roads and mild playing. I...

Hi everyone, I've seen tons of Jeeps on the road without doors in Ontario so I think I'll be fine there, however does anyone know the rules about towing a trailer and doors? It's only a small 7' trailer but I was wondering if anyone know if I'll get stopped towing and also having no doors?
