Tow Bar, Base Plates and Falt Towing Accessores for a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
I have a 2008 Jeep Wrangler 4 door towed vehicle. I am looking for a tow bar that is easy to use. Do you have a tow bar kit that includes base plate and tow bar for this vehicle?

Expert Reply:
We have everything needed that would allow you to flat tow your 2008 Wrangler Unlimited.
Beginning with base plates, you'll need the Roadmaster # 1429-3 along with the Falcon 2 # RM-520 tow bar. This towbar offers non binding latches as well as the Autowlok™ towing mechanism, which allows both tow bar arms to extend or retract for a quick connection. Then, as you drive away, the arms self-center and automatically lock. Great features at a great price. You'll also need safety cables like part # RM-643.
You'll also need a wiring solution so the taillights of your Wrangler Unlimited operate in tandem with your motorhome. Hopkins offer an easy to install option, part # HM56200. A battery quick disconnect, part # RM-765 is also needed. Finally, you'll need a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot, part # BRK2012.
I've linked you to some installation videos and some FAQ articles about flat towing that you might find helpful.
