• Recommended Roadmaster Base Plate Kit for 2017 Jeep Wrangler
  The Roadmaster Base Plate Kit, # 1444-3 is a great option for a direct-connect base plate. These direct-connect brackets install onto your Jeep Wrangler's frame to provide attachment points for a motor-home-mounted tow bar. What type Roadmaster tow-bar you have needs to be identified for accurate recommendation. If it is a crossbar type, I suggest the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit, # RM-521448-4. In addition you will need supplemental braking and a wiring solution for your...

• Flat Towing Equipment for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Recon
  To flat tow your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Recon, you'll need base plates, safety cables if you don't already have them, a taillight wiring solution, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter. For base plates, you'll want to use the # 1444-3 which is compatible with the Rubicon Recon edition Wrangler with a stock bumper (the # RM-521448-5 you'd looked at isn't compatible with Recon models). For safety cables, use # RM-643. For wiring, use # RM-15267. For...

• Difference Between Base Plate Kits for 2016 Jeep Wrangler 75th Anniversary
  The difference between the two Roadmaster base plate kits you referenced is the design of the removable arms of the kit. The part # 1444-3 is a MX kit which does not use a crossbar and would be easier to install in my opinion. The XL part # 1444-1 uses removable arms that require attaching to a crossbar like what comes with the Roadmaster tow bars. The kit would be just as involved as the Blue Ox kit part # BX1134 as the attachment brackets are very similar. In addition to the base plates,...

• Which Roadmaster Base Plate Kit is Correct for 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 10th Anniversary Rubicon
  The Roadmaster application guide shows two base plate kits as fits for your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 10th Anniversary Edition Rubicon, the MX series, part # 1444-3, and the XL series, part # 1444-1.

• Recommended Parts to Flat Tow 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon Edition
  For a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon edition, you'd use the Roadmaster # 1444-3 base plate kit, which will fit your vehicle unless it's equipped with a American Expedition Vehicles bumper. If that's the bumper you have, let me know and we'll find another alternative. You'll also need safety cables like part # RM-643, if you don't already have them. To wire the taillights so they work in tandem with motorhome, I'd recommend a diode kit like part # RM-152-98146-7. You will also need a...

• Rock Guards for 2017 Jeep Wrangler Flat Towed Behind Motorhome
  It looks like you have Roadmaster Direct Connect base plate kit # 1444-3 installed on your Jeep Wrangler and with it you can use the Tow Defender # RM-4750.

Rock Tamers heavy-duty adjustable mud flaps # ERT00108 mount directly...

• Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2016 Jeep Wrangler
  You shouldn't need to add anything to your RV. It looks like the 2018 Winnebago Vista came with a 2" hitch rated for 5,000 lbs and a 7-way connector. The 7-Way connector is what you will plug the wiring coming from your Jeep into. Your Winnebago has hydraulic brakes so you won't need to mess with air lines. I am not sure what list you are going off of but here's another one with the Roadmaster parts I recommend using to flat tow your 2016 Jeep Wrangler: Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster...

• Recommendation For Flat Towing A 2017 Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited
  I can only recommend using a Baseplate # 1444-3 on your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. We do not carry any bumpers which are rated for flat towing and as I see manufacturers of those front bumpers typically change their minds on if their bumper is registered safe for flat towing it makes me hesitant to recommend one. I have included a installation video below which shows this being installed on a similar Wrangler with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676. You may...

• Can a Front Mount Winch and Tow Bar Be Used Together On a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  I do have an option for you but the question you are asking all comes down to where the bracket for the winch installs and I cannot answer that for you. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # 1444-3 which is a fit for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock Edition installs under the front bumper using plates that mount outside the frame rail (see video). If that is where the brackets for the winch install then they won't work together. That said, if you are wanting...

• Recommended D-ring Bumper Mounted Adapter For Tow Bars on 2017 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited
  With an off-road bumper, we do have mounts that attach to the shackle mounts on your bumper where the D-rings are attached. So you have that option as well as the # 1444-3 baseplates you mentioned.
