I spoke with my contact at Blue Ox and you can use your Acclaim Tow Bar, # BX4330, with Base Plate Kit, # BX1118, for your 2002 Jeep Wrangler.
In addition to the base plates and tow bar, you may still need a lighting solution and in most states, a supplemental braking system. I am including a couple recommendations for you.
Optronics Magnetic Tow Lights, # TLL21RK, which provide the emergency flashers and signal lights required for towing without having to tap into existing wiring.
Blue Ox Patriot Portable Proportional Braking System, # BLU37TR, mounts easily in the towed vehicle for synchronized, reliable braking.
I have included a link to one of our articles about flat towing.
