If one is ordering a new JL and planning on towing it, it would be a no brainer to order it with the factory harness for the lights. Just for reference Im currently using a Curt wire harness and the RVi 3 brake system with the RVi battery tender and have had no issues.

I went with the Quadratec Brute Strength side steps and couldn’t be happier. Yes they are body mounted same as the OEM rock sliders, but I’m not planning on doing any extreme off roading. But if it happens it happen! They do seem to sit a bit higher than the OEM’s. I painted the pinch seam with...

As many of you reading this I have also spent endless hours reading all the posts on the different side steps and rock sliders. A couple of conclusions I came to was if one is going hard core wheeling then the frame mount would probably be the choice. The other being why would anybody go with a...

RubiBlueJLU, thanks for the reply, I have the OEM steel bumper group so trying to figure out which base plates and winch plates will work together. I really like the looks of the Rock Jock base plate. Again nice job on the front of your JL thanks Bruce

RubiBlueJLU sorry not meaning to hijack the thread, but I also noticed that your JL is a toad as well. I really like the nice and clean look with everything you have going on there on the front of your JL. Just a couple of questions. How is the Rock Jock base plate working out for you? Where...

I’ve been watching with interest as well and looks to be that there is change in that particular area between a 2018 and 2021. Thanks guys for trying to figure this out

I‘ll be using all the same RVi equipment when I get done rigging out the JL. Thanks for posting your hookup procedure document. Nicely done!

Firstly I just want say that I totally agree on what you have said, but I’m wondering is this information something that you gotten directly from FCA? Someone here has mentioned the Draw-Tite hitch to replace the Mopar hitch. It does look to be a bit beefier than the Mopar hitch however it is...

wondering which weigh distribution hitch you are using and is this with a original Mopar hitch on the Jeep? thanks!

Thanks for the write up pictures of your set up gm920. I do like the way the Smittybilt winch and base plate keep the winch tucked down low in the bumper. I didn’t realize some of the base plates moved the bumper out, thanks for pointing that out. From a previous toad I have a Roadmaster tow bar...

Thanks for getting back to me on the winch plate Stacy!

Jmonroe, I’m starting to rig my JL for towing and have a question for you on the RVi charger. I had the RVi charger previously on a F150 and when I wired it I ran the positive wire directly to the positive on the F150’s battery and tied the ground wire to a frame ground lug which had other large...

Strubi, thanks for the review and picture. I see you have a winch mounted as well. Can you tell me which winch plate you used with the RockJock base plate? Bruce

Looking for some pros, cons or reviews on the RockJock base plate for the JL with the Mopar steel bumpers. There have been some very good write ups on the RockJock base plate‘s for the JL’s with the plastic bumpers, which is different base plate than the one used on the JL’s with the steel...

Whaler, thanks for responding on those possible issues I had read about. I have the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar which is supposed to be an all terrain tow bar as well. I may have to have another look at the Maximus-3 tow loops thanks Bruce

I’ve been looking at the Maximus-3 tow loops as well and really do like the looks of them, however there could be a couple of issues when using the Roadmaster adapters #rm-035. The first one being they are made to fit a 3/4” lug and the Maximus-3 tow loops are only 5/8”. Could be rectified with...

Those do look similar to the Blue Ox ones I have on my Roadmaster tow bar, RockJock maybe able to confirm mine will work. Here’s what mine look like

Captain thanks for the write up! I’m just starting to rig my Wrangler for flat towing and looking all the different options. I already have a Roadmaster two bar but it has Blue Ox adapters/clevis on it. Do you have any pictures of your Blue OX clevis that you mentioned hooked directly up to the...

The Roadmaster #rm-035 adapters are the closest ones to working with the Maximus-3 Tow Loops. They are built to fasten to a 3/4” lug where the Maximus tow loops are only 5/8”. I think this isn’t a big problem with adding some shims t take up the gap. The other possible problem I’ve seen...

I‘m in the 303 Protectant camp as well, it’s the only thing I use on tries & rubber seals for the Jeep and motorhome. i believe it’s one of the best for UV protection.
