Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 1429-1, is the correct base plate kit for your 2007 Jeep Wrangler 2 door, as long as there are no aftermarket parts like bumper, winch or brush guards on the front of the Jeep.
This kit is compatible with the older Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar. As long you have a set of car side quick disconnects you are ready to go. If not you can use the RoadMaster Quick Disconnects, # RM-222.
To complete your towing setup, I recommend safety cables # RM-643. And for lighting you can use Hopkins harness # HM56200 which plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring. It looks like you will also have to disconnect the battery to flat tow the Jeep.
Finally, you will need a supplemental braking system, required in most states, for your Jeep. The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, # RM-8700, is a good option. We have an installation video showing this system being installed for you to review.
