Base plates won't fit your 2002 Jeep Wrangler with an off-road bumper so you have to use it to flat tow, and for that you'll need either the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 1" Thick # RM-035-1 or 3/4" Thick # RM-035.

The thickness is referring to the shackle mounts that you'll be using to flat tow your '02 Wrangler with your off-road bumper. The other parts you need - minus the wiring - are as follows:

- Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520
- Safety Cables # RM-643
- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
- Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494
