Expert Answers about Jeep Wrangler


  • How To Attach to 2014 Jeep Wrangler That Has Base Plate Installed
  • While a front mount cargo carrier that attaches to Blue Ox base plates is not offered, we do have a solution for you to install a cargo carrier, but it needs to be on the back of your Jeep or mounted to the top. Using the rear mounted hitch, you can install a carrier such as the etrailer # e98874. Normally a front mount hitch would be available, but since the hitch and the base plate kit you have installed share the same installation location, they cannot both be installed so mounting...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  • To flat tow your 2002 Jeep Wrangler TJ, I recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1420-1. The arms of this kit can be removed when you are not towing your Jeep to maintain the look of the Jeep. For a tow bar that is compatible with these base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar # RM-520. This tow bar features a quick-disconnect system to allow you to quick and easily mount and remove the tow bar. The telescoping arms help make hook up easier and will...

  • Need Higher Capacity Blue-Ox Bolt-On Base Plate Bracket Kit for 2000 Jeep Wrangler
  • The Blue Ox Bolt-On Base Plate Bracket Kit, # BX88230, will require that you drill into your bumper and the bumper will most likely need to be reinforced or modified. I spoke with my technical contact at Bestop regarding the HighRock 4x4 High Access Front Bumper, # B4291701, and any modifications, including drilling, will void the warranty for the bumper. Due to the fact that the Bestop bumper has not been tested for flat towing, they can not recommend that you use it for this purpose. The...

  • Are There Packages Available to Increase Towing Capacity
  • As long as you stay under 3,500 pounds you should be fine. There are no kits that will increase a vehicle towing capacity. Whatever towing capacities they were built with from the factory is what they can handle. If you found the 3,500 figure on the hitch, you may want to check the vehicle owner manual. The 3,500 figure may be the weight capacity of the hitch. The vehicle may be able to tow more or less depending on vehicle configuration.
