  • How to Flat Tow a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Behind a Motor Home with a Tow Bar
  • Base plates and tow bars are sold separately. For a 2016 Jeep Wrangler I recommend Demco base plates # DM9519292 if it is NOT a Rubicon or Hard Rock edition. Or if you do have a Rubicon or Hard Rock edition I recommend # DM9518320. Both base plate sets are compatible with the Commander II tow bar, # DM9511012. The tow bar comes with the safety cables so you will not need any additional cables. Next you will need a lighting solution. I recommend the 4-diode kit # RM-152. Once installed...

  • If the round parts of the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5 on your 2013 Jeep Wrangler look like what I have highlighted in the attached photo then those are the removable arms.

  • Parts Needed and Procedures for Flat Towing 2000 Jeep Wrangler
  • Clevis rings are meant for recovering the vehicle when it is stuck, not for flat towing the vehicle. The safest way to flat tow the vehicle is by using a base plate kit that attaches to the frame of the vehicle. For the OEM double-tube bumper, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 # RM-521424-4 base plate kit. For the U-channel bumper or single-tube bumper, use # 1420-1. The Tow Ready tow bar you referenced would limit you 45 mph, so something like the Roadmaster Tracker, part # RM-020 would...

  • Can ST175/80-13 Load Range C Tires be Replaced with Load Range D
  • If you already have lug nuts and there's nothing wrong with them you don't need to replace them. If you need 1/2 inch lug nuts you can use # CE11051. Or for a little security we have a wheel lock set # RG01-150. There's no problem increasing the load range on your tires. It might not be necessary but it certainly won't hurt.
