I have the Redarc Tow Pro Elite and I purchased from etrailer, where I got the wiring harness adapter as well. Between the two, it was a simple plug n play install if you have the factory tow package. Super easy. Looks like they’re selling the two as a kit and have upped the price since I...

A few pics from our social isolating this past weekend...

I don’t know how exactly the square footage is figured but my trailer box is 5’ wide. It is 3’ 4” tall in the front but 4’ tall in the back at its maximum height...so 20 square feet, even if you don’t consider the sloped roof and taper to the “frontal area”. Let also assume I should figure a...

Here’s our latest setup... The camper is a Hiker Mid-Range 5x8. This was our first short tip of the Spring with the Jeep purchased in January. Formerly towed the rig with an FJ Cruiser.

Ok. Thanks.

I was shocked to see the poll results and how few 2.0 non-etorque Rubicon models were out there. I was initially set on a 6 speed...but I chose the 2.0T/auto after researching for a year and driving the various models. I thought the torque curve of the 2.0 and drivability of the auto better...

Are those 315 70 17’s? I didn’t think they were available with white lettering?

Since you’ll be towing with a manual, you’ll be in total control of gear selection but for others who may read this thread, and tow with an auto, manually controlling your tranny when towing is a must. With the Rubicon and the 8.4” screen, you you get the off road pages which have a...

Wow! That’s a match for sure! I also have that same little propane tank...just don’t have it mounted on the outside yet but it’s on my “2 do” list! Do you have the 2” lift? Looks like yours sits a little higher. I’m adding a lift to mine...it’s cheap and easy...and will make it sit a little...

I can’t really say yet. I’ve only run around town a bit and out on some back roads to get the brake controller calibrated. This all felt really good...maybe even better than the FJ, which was a surprise. The real test will be on the interstate at 75 mph. Hoping for a real camping tip in the...

I know your question was for the OP, but here’s our Hiker mid-range 5x8. We’ve previously been towing with a FJ Cruiser but got the Wrangler about a month ago and plan to tow with it. Hikers are great little trailers. We’ve loved ours. As for the OP’s question, I’m useless. We’ve been on...

For reference, I have a JLR with the factory tow package. I went with the Redarc Tow Pro Elite. I ordered from etrailer.com and they had a new pigtail adaptor that allowed a complete plug-n-play application...no swapping wires required. Plugged right into the factory tow harness found under...

Here’s my 2.0T 2 door towing a Hiker 5x8 camper. I’m running the Mopar 2” and 315 70 17 K02’s. Depending on the type of camping we’re destined for, the loaded camper weighs in at 1500 (+/-) with a tongue weight about 180lbs. I’ve been towing this setup with an FJ Cruiser with a 2.5” lift...

Really appreciate the info on the throttle controller and diverter valve. I’m familiar with throttle controllers but have never tinkered with the DV. That sounds very interesting.

So far, love it. Lots of power for buzzing around town and passing on the interstate. Have done nothing off road yet. Also looking forward to how it will handle our 1500 lb teardrop camper when the time comes, which will be a good test, especially in the mountains. There’s some noticeable...

Here’s mine... 2.0T with MOPAR lift and BFG KO2 315/70/17

Yes it is the Mopar lift. It has been a very pleasant surprise after all the horror stories I’ve read on this forum. I had pretty much resigned myself to at least needing upgrade the track bar and LCA’s, but I’m not jumping the gun yet. It feels different. than before the lift, as any lifted...

Soooo...since no one ever posted exactly what I was looking for (see quote from original post), I decided to go for it, order it, and create it myself. Picked her up last week. Love this Jeep!
